Default Enkei NT03RR +40 18x9.5 5x114.3 fit?

Hi guys,

I was set on getting the PF01s in the 18x9.5 +45mm offset square setup in summer but came across a local deal that I might have to jump on. Before I do that though, just need to confirm with everyone that it will fit as I don't understand the concave/convex/spoke design clearance etc stuff.

Specs are:

Enkei NT03RR (note the RR, not the +M)
18x9.5
5x114.3
40mm offset
According to Enkei's site it's a Middle face (whatever that means).

So, can anyone or someone confirm that it will fit on a 100% stock ISF that plans on running 275/35/18 tires all around?

I found one post that confirms the NT03+M clears the front calipers. Is it safe to "assume" that the RR should offer more clearance than the +M version?

Thanks and Merry Christmas all!

with that offsets will fit without any issues but depending on what tire brand you go with. Some are wider than the others and making sure about the calipers clearance.

Thanks for the response. Yes, it's the spoke design/clearance that I'm uncertain about. I've found one post that confirms the NT03+M clears (even on the track) while another post that states someone tried it and it DIDN'T clear. Manufacturing variance?

I can't test fit the rims either as it's a local sale and my car is in storage anyway until spring.

Here is the link, you should look at post #4851 and #4856. Hope this helps ! https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...t-now-324.html

As it's a local sale find a way to test fit.

Edit:
Personally, I'd hold out for a 45 mm offset. Note that the car in post #4851 had to roll and trim his sheetmetal to fit 265's, though he is lowered (the next thing you'll want to do after fitting 18s, AMHIK).
