Enkei Nt03 M picture request and fitment question? 17x9.5+44mm?

Is anyone running these wheels on an fd? I am interested in the 17x9.5 which carry a +44mm offset all around. Will they work? What tire size could I run? I'd like to run 255/40's up front and either 255/40 rear or 275/40 rear. Currently the car is stock suspension, but coilovers are in the plans soon. Thoughts?

There's rubbing at full lock, only on the drivers side though, I also rolled the fronts. I have coilovers and the cars dropped to 25 inches all around. The camber in the front is -1.5 and rear -1.2. Let me look for some older pics, I think they're on the forum somewhere.

Edit: Here's a still shot-

Very nice. Do you think that I will have any spring interference on the stock suspension? Do you think a 275 would work on the rear if I took that route?

Thanks, there was no problem when I was on stock suspension so it should be fine. 275s would fit, I chose to be able to rotate the tires instead. I would roll the rears just in case but they definitely would work.

What does it rub on? The plastic fender liners or on the fender lips? Did you NEED to roll the fenders or did you do it pre-emptively? Do you know if it would fit with regular springs vs the smaller diamter springs used in coilovers?

They look like some good track wheels but I am concerned about fitting 9.5" wide wheels.

Thanks.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. It rubs on the fender liner at full lock. You need to roll the fronts, the tire caught the fender lip on both sides on a few occasions before I rolled them. They will definitely fit with the stock springs, I had these wheels with the stock touring suspension for a couple months.

I prefer the rp03 soooo much more than the other enkei wheels, but they never seem to get any love
