That pic looks a little bizzare, the rims are kind of ... cloudy.....

From the side I think it looks weird unless you have some coilovers to even out the rake a little bit, but it does look mean from the front.

the pic looks cloudy..because its a blurry picture.

the car does have coilovers(tein flex)....and i purposely set it up that way.

i have other pics of the car fully slammed even the rear...but my photobucket is trippin.

OEM NSX wheels FTW~~~~!!!!

(I'm 99% sure they are staggered in both diameter and width)

they do it because the sidewall size compared to load on the front vs. rear.


on the s2k with the front/rear bias you need the same size sidewall all around for ideal handling. which means a 25" tire on matching rims

I like the way it looks. Sits very aggressively and a hair lower in front.

i love the raked look, but i think it looks weird IMO. only reason it looks normal on a NSX is b/c the fenders in the front diameter is smaller, and larger in the rear

I never noticed until now that you were running different size wheels front to rear. May i ask what size tires? Looks great, you don't notice a difference in handling with that setup do you?

tires are

245/40/17 rear

no i cant say i notice a difference...just because i rarely drive on the wheels. they sit in my garage. i have other wheels i drive daily.
