Need help finding some info for wheel fitment for NSX
alright so i have a new project that i am working on, i would like to give it a crazy aggressive stance. i picked up a set of BC racing Coilovers w/ custom stiffer spring rate. and i am now searching for wheels.. i searched few of the nsx forums and found close to nothing useful on aggressive fitment.
i wanted to check with VSC and see if anyone here has a good link or good info on whats the most aggressive wheels on a stock body (no wide body, roll or pull is ok). and any ideas for extra camber.
this thread would be too boring with out a picture. heres the car now.
P.S. just for an idea of what i want. I would like to run -4 degree of camber front, -6 degree of camber in the rear. small poke

I'm a big fan of the NSX, I even have a '94 myself.
I've done some pretty slick fitments on the NSX in the past, including 18/19 back when nobody was doing this on these cars. Today it is a bit more common. 18x8.5 and 19x11 is pretty easy with the right offsets.
Keep in mind the NSX has front caliper issues; many wheels will not clear. The brakes are not particularly huge, they just overhang the rotor hat a bit.
Also, the NSX is notoriously hard on tires (especially rear), so with your aggressive camber settings be prepared to buy new rubber FREQUENTLY. Tire size will to some extent dictate what you can pull off on this car. I'm a wide tire/mild stretch sort of guy so I'd probably go with 18x9.0 235/30-18 and 19x12.0 315/25-19, which of course would require custom wheels.
You could probably pull-off 18x9.0 215/35-18 and 19x11 275/30-19 without too much hassle, depending on the amount of poke and stretch you want.
Good luck, and post pics when done!

well nsx and s2k have been known to rock similar specs. s2k's now are rollin 10wide with low +20s srock body. the rear looks to have more outer room so you should experiemnt w your gs wheels first

What offset range do you think?
i have only test fitted a 17x9 +35 with 235-45 tires. tire was too large so it rub fender liner. turning rubbed unrolled lip on fender. i did not play with camber.

alright so i had some free time today.
I grabbed my SSR Dish 18x12 negative something offset. cant remember.
and did a test fit on the rear of the nsx just for a good laugh.
Rear:
Side view:
How much it sticks out:
So clearly this will not work with stock fenders.
so i moved on to my next set of wheels.
18x10 negative something offset.
and to my surprise they fit pretty nice. smaller tire, little camber and it should be sweet... and also need to go lower.
and just for fun i test fitted the 18x10 up front.
so i got a good idea on what fitment i need.
i am probably planning on getting SSR SP1. What you guys think ?
also i am not sure if i want to go 17front/18rear or 18front/19rear. i am leaning towards 17/18. what are your inputs?

NSX's can do more aggressive in the rear EASILY. S2000's have enough room on the inside to run a 10 +76.

You should buy my Mugen M7's :)
Was asking only $6900 but willing to take a large hit now.

$7000 for a set of Mugens? HAHA
congrats on the pick up, I love the nsx. I hope you don't go as extreme on this as you previously did with your GS. Those SSR you did a test fit with don't compliment the car at all either. The SP1s should look a lot better.
