This thread is full of wrong offset info for the NT03+Ms.

18x9.5 +40mm (10mm spacer to clear the front brakes)
18x9.5 +27mm (clears no problem)
18x10.5 +30mm (clears no problem)
17x9.5 +44mm (clears no problem)
17x9.5 +38mm (clears no problem)

I don't suggest running a +27mm up front and +40mm in the rear, your tires will die much faster and you'll be paying out the *** to get the tires dismounted and rotated.

A proper spacer with ARP wheel studs is just as safe as no spacer. So the +40mm with a 10mm spacer up front (30mm effective offset) and a +40mm in the rear will allow a 265/35/18 without issue when running coilovers with some additoinal camber up front and a fender roll in the rear.

I totally agree with you about people running +27 up front and +40 in the rear. That set up just don't make sense. What I don't get is why would you go through all that trouble to get the +40 all around!!! Lol when you have to get longer Studs + 10mm spacer + camber and you still need to roll your fenders to run 265

With the +27 all you need is a fender roll up front + a roll and some pull in the rear. Then you get some good camber to run 265 all day at the track with no problem.

The trouble? A quality set of spacers and wheel studs aren't trouble.

The +27mm require rear control arms (or pain in the *** whiteline camber bushings) and a pull.

I'll take the studs and spacers, that's a lot of work to just run a 265.

I totally agree with you about the pain in the *** the whiteline camber bushings are. I have them and never got to install them because it's a pain in the *** to do so.

Other then that both sets of offset are pain in the *** They do look nice when finally installed properly.

Re: PLEASE NEED HELP!!! Got my Enkei NT03 18x9.5 +27

ok so this really sucks, I guess I will get some +40 offset for the back. So +40 in the Back and +27 in the front and that will work?

Go to a good body work/modification shop. +27 offset is NOTHING to work with on the STi. I got my fenders pulled for a +20 18x10 on 275s and I had it fit perfectly. You just have to get a pull.
Don't know if you changed your setup--I haven't read that far into the thread.

"just a pull" and coilovers and camber
