But I can't decide on which ones to get. I really like the Enkei NT03+M but the 18x9.5 +40 requires 10mm spacers and extended studs in the front. Will the spacers negatively affect the handling or durability of the wheel bearings?

 

Nope. I have 10mm spacer up front with extended studs on my Enkeis, the only thing that bothers me is having to dial in a little more camber to clear the 265/35 since the specs are technically 18x9.5 +28 so im at -2.1 in the front and -1.5 rear.

 

yea as long as you do it right, as in running extended lugs, then spacers arent a problem. I ran 5mm spacers with my rpf1s with no issues whatsoever

 

Hey does anyone have any thkughts on the xxr 521s? Are they cheaply made or what?

 

Yes.

 

Ahh bummer i like the style, are there any similar styles that arw reputable?

 

If you like the 521, check out the rota MXR.

 

Spacers won't effect your car unless its on as previously stated stock studs, now if you were running 25 or more....... Mike @GST says hes blown a few wheel bearings!

 

Yes.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm still on the hunt for some Advans, Rays or Works in the classifieds. Enkei is more of a back up wheel if I get tired of looking around.

 

Jusr get the +27 enkei nt-03 with the +40 you will be +30 in the front i say just pull the resr fenders and ipyou can get the +27 offset.

 

i run extended studs and 15mm in the front.. no problems
