Wheel HELP
Hi all,
I am trying to figure out if these wheels will fit my 05 TL. Enkei NT03 +m 18x9.5 et40 5x114.3 wrapped with 255/35r18. I do have Tein SA coils. Will I rub or need to do anything special?? Please help.
Thanks all!

it's all dependent on your height. if you are too low, then yes 
you will rub. which then you can play with the variables...
- raise car
- roll fenders
- play with camber
or a combination of the three

If the OEM wheels are the 17" 5 spokes then the new wheel/tire setup will sit 19.1mm closer to the suspension strut, and poke out 19.1mm more then before. So, if you don't have room for that extra 3/4" of poke (19mm) then you'll need one of the things Justin said.
We have camber kits, we can get you those rims, and we do tires too! When you decide you're ready to order feel free to send me a PM or email me directly at performance@excelerateperformance.com and I'll see what we can do for you!
Good luck & happy modding!

tires is apart of the variables. so yes. if the current set up rubs...
- raise car
- play with camber
- play with fenders
- play with tires.
it's a lot of work, slapping on wheels isnt just slapping on wheels. if something doesnt work, you need to put in the work to correct it.

No, you won't rub, period. That combo is perfect. However, there will be a tiny bit more wheel gap than you are used to because the tire is about .5" shorter than stock, so you'll have about .25" more wheel gap, meaning you will need to drop a bit more.
18x9.5 +40 with 255/40 tires, no rubbing whatsoever.
