Default Mugen NR wheels

Could the Mugen NR wheels fit the S2000 (or NSX for that matter)? The wheel sizes are 17x7, +53, 5/114.3

For some odd reason, these wheels (Street version of JGTC NSX) are offered only for the TSX and Odyssey, but not the NSX itself.

Yes they fit, but then you wouldn't have a staggered set-up. You can try to offset this a little by using different size tires front and back. Some people feel this will be detrimental to the handling characteristics of the vehicle. So research and decide.

King says they aren't meant for the S2K. I wouldn't bother putting these on an S2K, much less an NSX. I'm sure you could put them on, but why?

True but i was just wondering. I love the MF 10's but i can put the bronze on my red. I got to much silver going on. For some odd reason they dont offer the mf 10's in the mirror face (that looks hot) for the s2. Id swoop on those if they had em.

I thought it was strange that these wheels which were described as the version of the JGTC NSX were not offered on the NSX itself. I think they look nice nevertheless.

You can make it work.

Try four 1770 +48s, and play around with spacers in the back, and different tire sizes front and back.

They're very pretty in person.

actually, if I were going to try this wheel. I would go with the 17x7 215/40/17 in front. Then the 18x7.5 245/40/18 in the rear
