NA2 is the newer NSX (02+).
I like these wheels, and the specs are as follows:
F 17x7 +55
R 17x9 +56

I want to run 215/45/17 F and 255/40/17 R.

The rears will be nice and flush I think, esp with my mild drop (1.5''R, 1'' F) and UK-spec alignment.
However, the fronts are going to sit close to stock.
I'd like to get a 5mm (or 10mm) spacer up front. A 5mm spacer does not require longer studs, does it? I'm pretty sure a 10mm does.

These wheels should work okay, but I've only seen a Sebring AP2 with them.
www.finishlinewheels.com has them for $8xx.xx shipped!

Thoughts?

 

I've been trying to run this setup for quite a while now. Finishlinewheels doesn't actually have them. Nobody does. I asked them before ordering to make sure that they actually had them in stock; they said yes. So I ordered and my money was refunded immediately after, saying that they don't have them. I've tried twice already.

 

Well that completely sucks. Fawk!

When was the last time you tried?
I guess I'll check nsxprime.
But I doubt they'll come close to Finishline's prices... In which case, plan is aborted.

 

I would even consider NA1 wheels. They look nice here:

But I want more pictures of the 16/17 combo, and input on the handling resulting from this.

 

I might go with NA1 wheels:

16x7 +55,
17x8.5 +60

FWIW, stock fitment on AP1 is:

16x6.5 +55
16x7.5 +65

Want to run 215/255 tires.
Rear should be 255/40/17.
What should the front be? 215/xx/16?
Will this skew the handling at all? Advised against?

 

Here are a few shots of mine. I am lowered on S-techs with the UK alignment.....Currently I am running 205's up front and 245's in the rear, these are what came when I picked them up. I am kinda in the same boat not sure what sizes I want to run when I get new tires....

Also check NSX prime that is where I got mine, you can get the for a really good deal if you keep your eyes out





Here is the tires size calculator I have been fooling with some sizes, hopefully it helps

Yeah, I bit too, both for NSX and M3 LTW wheels. The NA2 wheels usually sell for $2k used, so my plan was to rock them for a while then resell them for a profit. I think Finish Line just keeps them on their page to get more hits.

 

I habe been emailing Finish Line and they are sooo ambiguous in their responses. Forget them.

That SPA looks great! Any other pictures?
You said you were fooling around with future sizes. What are you thinking?
I'm hoping to up it 10mm F/R, 215/255... Just unsure of the sidewalls (40 R, unsure F).

Do OEM center caps/lugs fit?

 

Here are the other pics I got if you want specific angles let me know I can take them later on today.

As for tire size I am currently running 245's in the rear which I wanna bump up to 255/40/17's and they are pretty close to the stock without throwing off the speedo. As for the front I am going for either a 205/55/16 (stock ) or a 225/50/16....I couldn't find a ratio with the 215's close enough to stock...

And yes the OEM lugs fit, I actually picked up NSX lugs with the tires...I gotta say I think I got quite a deal. As for center caps they came with chrome Acura ones but I just put my OEM ones on, they arn't chrome but they look good enough for me!


If you have any questions hit me up I can help as much as I can!

 

Looks great. I wanted a side pic most and you got it. More can't hurt, but no need to go take others.

I think I will pursue these. I think I'll do 225/255 if you couldn't find 215s to work well. 225/50/16, 255/40/17... That should be pretty nice.
But will 225 fit on a 16x7 wheel?

Hopefully I can find some in the gunmetal color (going on Sebring), but silver wont' be too bad.

The 16/17 stagger isn't that bad. I'm pleased that OEM lugs/caps fit!!
