My friend wants me to put 20's on my X. Can you guys tell me how dumb that would look and how bad it would make the car?
20 inch rims?

Why would you want rims that big? If you want a 4 x 4 look.
An NSX is not a regular car to throw on any wheels, ESPECIALLY 20" all around.
First, you have to preserve the rake stance:
15/16, 16/17, 17/17 (no rake), and lastly 18/19 is the biggest size you can do.

I see an NSX daily with 19/20 and it looks actually good on the correct drop and rim style.
If you still have your OEM brake disks, look at them and then imagine the 20 inch rims. It will give you the right answer ;-)
I have never heard of a 19" or 20" front tire size that won't rub and that won't cause problems with the NSX's traction control system.
As for looks, ask yourself how you like this:

That's baller
The only way I feel 20's would look right is if you had a widebody kit installed on the car.

Yes sir only way.....
Just tape some hula hoops to the wheel and you'll get the same look...
Not even then. They still look weird.
And Tbreezy, that's just the looks. Never mind how it will absolutely ruin the car's suspension and performance.
Get a new friend with better style!
LMAO, tell me how you really feel!!!!
18inch Front/20inch Rear:

Which I remember this guy has a 19/20 inch setup with a widebody. This is the car that popped into my head when this thread first started. I think this car looks awesome with the big ass wheels.
I agree to this. You definitely cannot put 20's all around. NOT going to happen. The rake stance DEFINITELY has to be paid attention to. However, to the OP I'd have to say that saying it would "make the car bad" is only opinion. Not everyone uses the car for the same reasons. I have 20 inch rears and to me mine isn't "bad" at all. It's awesome for ME and my use. I have ran my set up for two years with no issues, no rubbing etc...Just my 2 cents.

Personally, I like how the rears look here

These wheels came with the car I purchased. I think it'll look awesome if I painted them gunmetal or black.

Do you have any side shots/LFT-RT of this?These wheels came with the car I purchased. I think it'll look awesome if I painted them gunmetal or black.
19/20
With most rims starting at 19's plus, 19/20 may be an option for NSX guys going for looks vs performance.
On coil-overs it may not look so bad. More pics please.
How is it in turns, does it scrape/rub at anytime?
They do not rub or scrape. It's on Tein coilovers. No TCS light. Not using any spacers. I haven't taken any new photos yet. Some of the old photos:
The wheels are for sale if anybody is interested. :wink:
Actually, that's incorrect. Being in Houston, I've seen this car and met the owner several times. His set up was 18/19.
