That being said if I wanted EC-7 And a 255 front and 265 rear I will need
Rear
- EC7 18x9.5 +58 for rear
- 5mm spacer for rear
- 265/35/18 Nexen Sur4G for rear
- -2.4 camber and fender lining trimming
- EC7 18x8.5 +35 for front
- 7mm spacer to clear shock body
- 255/35/18 Nexen Sur4G
- -3.0 of camber
Why would I need a hub extender? Would I Need one with this setup?
Im currently running a 7mm spacer on the 75mm studs and have no issues

For the new EC-7 setup, you likely won't need the additional negative camber and liner/boot trimming if you are running the 5mm spacer, but the additional negative camber will definitely help performance when cornering hard.
We recommend hub extenders for spacer setups in between the 5mm and 12mm range as spacers of this width reduce the amount of support given by your OE hubcentric ring. The OE ring typically protrudes ~10mm so a 7mm spacer only leave 3mm of ring to support the wheel and keep it hubcentric. The extender is particularly important when using a 10mm spacer that eliminates the OE ring as the wheel would not be hubcentric at that point. The hub extender isn't an ideal solution, but it does give you more flexibility.
A hub extender in your case isn't 100% necessary, but it wouldn't hurt.
