Have you tried with this? It's specific for ntfs volumes (read/write):

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/
Udev#Mount_under_.2Fmedia.3B_use_partition_label_if_present.3B_ntfs-3g

But the interesing part is on the mount options:

# filesystem-specific mount options (777/666 dir/file perms for ntfs/vfat) 
ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="vfat|ntfs", ENV{mount_options}="$env{mount_options},gid=100,dmask=000,fmask=111,utf8"

Maybe you can tweak "gid=100,dmask=000,fmask=111" values to fit your 
current settings.
