It will be VEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY close. I have 18x8.5 with a 36mm offset and a 3mm spacer and my BBS come within a c$$t-hair of my Brembo caliper. The rears are fine, but the fronts are tight.

it's a very thin spoke ... so maybe that will help...

thinking of just going with a 17... but for daily bling I really want to go with an 18.... dunno....Might 17 just for the sake of adjustment to the suspension when it comes to track time.

thats one of the main reason's i have RPF1 for the track, and since i will get JIC's set up by Mueller in the future . I went with 17x8.5 +40 off set . so i have no problems or clearance issues :wink:

the stock offset is +38 The big question is how is the spoke designed into the wheel example Enkei RPF1 17/8.5 +40 works great Enkei RPF1 17/9 +35 needs a 10 mm spacer to work! Why? the 9" version was designed for a RWD application and they wanted the "deep dish" look ...So use a rep vender and TEST fit before you mount tires! (If I don't have a comfirmed fitment I only order 1 wheel and test fit it first)

It's the Enkei NTO3... spoke design isn't very deep so I imagine it may fit....

Call RMR and ask what their offset is - they have dozens of NTO+3s with gravel tires mounted...
