Question on Enkei Kojin Offsets et35

[TURBO2GO]

I am on 18x9 ET 25 with 275/35/18 with NO RUBBING. And I am low. It is very flush and it looks like it would rub but it just doesn't, even on compression. I am on the border however, I would recommend the 9.5

ok so these would be the best setup then for these wheels and tyre combo?

That's what I would go with.

17x8 +35 fronts will probably cause some rubbing issues on the fenderliners, but it'll be pretty flush.
Personally I would do the 17x8 +40 to give you a little extra room.

For the rear I would do a 18x9.5 +30. I think it'll look a lot more balanced than the 17x9.

Nice! Full circle back to post #2. :smile:
If your goal is to run 235/40/17 fronts, I'd consider the 17x8 +45 instead. (Remember it's much easier to run a 5mm spacer than it is to modify the wheel.)
17x8 +40 would be a perfect balance for a 215/40/17 for flushness and drivability.
17x8 +35 would be best for looks with the chance of some rubbing with a 215/40/17.

You need to consider the brakes. If there is a BBK, you will get slightly more clearance with the less conservative offsets. If it is OEM brakes, yes, the 45 may have an advantage in fitment with a 235 front. But it won't clear a whole lot. In fact I am not even sure that a 35 will clear a set of stoptechs let alone a 45.

haha yes hapa thats because i sort of hijacked this thread to talk about these wheels for NT01's since we covered the street tyres for the OP.
Rears there is only one choice really so not much discussion needed there it's just what front size would be best for these tyres.
oh and no BBK just the 97+ brake setup
