What size/offset are NSX wheels? And those are "rear" wheels?

Yes. 17x8.5 +60

Good deal!! Thanks!

I thought these bodies looked bigger than my Yellows. I didn't realize the yellows had more than one size. Learn something every day.

I could be wrong - if you get a chance - measure the circumference of the bodies with a string and I can compare to my Yellows.

You could call TC Kline too

Thanks. Very close to rear AP2 wheel. As others have mentioned, the rear AP2 wheel on all four corners is a reasonable starting point. Just need to machine two for fitting the front hub which is 70mm vs rear at 64mm.

17x8.5 +65mm offset

Machine all 4 so you can rotate tires.

If you order 4 rear wheels from TireRack, you should be able to get them to give you give you a pair of front and a pair of rear hub rings. They did this for me when I ordered my SSR TypeF 17x8.5 wheels

If they are the TC Kline koni's they are bigger than the OTS koni's sports. With a bigger piston that will give more consistant damping. At least mine are. I through they were the same till I sent mine off to get rebuilt.

edit

My TC Kline's are 82 series, the sports are 80 series

Thanks - good to know.

The part numbers are:

30.0000.0005 - threaded sleeve
30.0000.0006 - perch with locking set screw

They'll only work with 2.5" springs. The upper spring perch (if you wanted to use it) would be 80.0000.0007
