, the seller states the wheels, with no spacers, clear a stoptech bbk, which sounds impressive, given the flat face of the LM.quote]
Does this mean the seller is not being completly honest with is listing and the way they will fit?????
The BBS LM is a very popular wheel in Japan for the nsx, there are usually 1 or 2 sets on yahoo japan being sold in used condition each week, and these are the popular size of 17/18's; with a stock nsx they should fit fine, here is picture of these exact sizes on an early car:
These wheels will definitly fit with stock brakes, the front is perfect, the rear should get a 10mm spacer for aesthetics; as far as larger brake fittiment is concerned... usually when you're looking to cram larger aftermarket brakes under a rim you want a curved spoke design, if caliper clearance is an issue, and the LM is most definitly not a curved face wheel; even with ideal widths and offsets, if the spokes get in the way of the caliper you will need to install a spacer, and with this front there is really no room to play around with.
The seller claims to have tested for this clearance level, and found no issues, so according to his info you're fine - note, as mentioned above, the stoptech kit, if that's what you have installed, also pushes the wheel outward approx 5mm, so with a 17x8 +35 being flush on an OEM setup the stoptech kit would be like tossing a 5mm spacer into the mix, possibly creating issues with rubbing, or sticking outside of the fender. Do you have stoptech brakes installed on your nsx? If you do I would be curious to see if perhaps he's testing for s2000 fittiment, despite selling nsx wheels - if you look at his other items he has a set of s2k ssr comp's, an s2k steering wheel, and he was selling s2k cats - he's got an s2000, so presumably he bought the lm's and tried to fit them to his roadster, only to find they're way too big for his car - if his brake fittiment sizing is based on some guesses with them on an s2000 it's meaningless to you, on an nsx.
