19 & 20 is too small.
it's all about DUB DEUCE baby.

Oh yeah....I bet a set of 22's would really look and handle well. The more bling the better (apparently).
I have 18/19 Volks now, not really an enjoyable ride:wink: Looks sick but it really takes away from the true NSX experience. I also have a set of 17/18 for when I want to really get down and dirty.
19's rear, 18's front.
I haven't yet heard of a single example of anyone using 19" or larger on the front of an NSX. If anyone is, I would love to hear what tire model and tire size you are using, and whether it rubs on the wheel wells (I'm betting it does).
Some people are using 18" front wheels with 19" rear, although nowhere near as many as 17"/18" or smaller sizes. Until recently, there were no really good top-of-the-line tires available in the best 18"/19" sizes of 215/35-18 and 275/30-19, but the Pirelli PZero Nero recently came out in those sizes, so there's one good choice now.
If I were buying wheels, I wouldn't go bigger than 17" (17x7 or 17x7.5) and 18" (18x9 or 18x9.5).

Hello Miggady,
I don't know if this will help, since my NSX is a widebody, but I have 18" fronts and 20" rears.
If you want to see more, you can view my gallery with additional pics.

stacy'snsx is running this with a 19x8 front, 20x10 rear. He states the tires are Tires are Pirelli's front: 215/35/19 and rear: 275/30/20.
Funny Ken, because you replied a number of times to that original post. . . I guess with 21k posts, you're bound to forget some. :smile:

I think what Ken meant to imply is that there is no proper Tire Size in a 19" that would make it close to stock tire size in overall diamater.
I think this topic has been discussed and for people going after looks only, and want a 20" out back, a 18" up front should be used. I've always said if you care more about looks, then the best 18/20 tire setup is a 215/35/18 front, 295/25/20 rear.

That looks very nice. Keep em and don't go any bigger. Can't wait to meet you and see your car on April 28th. Love to have a Brooklands Green in the Michigan mix. :biggrin:
And, as he also notes in that topic, that front size rubs big-time whenever he turns the wheel all the way to either side. Which is not surprising, since it's almost two full inches larger in diameter than stock.
I just wish I could figure out my offset to see if that's the problem with my 18's rubbing in the front. :frown:
Are you using 215/35-18? Any larger size, then the size is the problem.
