Now that is Hawwt! :eek: Reminds me of VIP Style, where it is all about fitment, super agressive offsets and taking risks. There are quite a few Lexus GS with super agressive offsets that look as thought they would fold the fender when all of the air is out of the suspension or if the coil overs were hammered. That is what I am planning on doing with mine as soon as I can find the right one. To me it is all about the size of the lip and fitment to the fender since she will become a garage queen or driven only on weekends with the wife. :biggrin:

Please find out what size wheels and offset!

Cheers on a great looking car!

Much props for doing it different with the Scara's. I never would have thought of putting Scara's on an NSX. Always pictured it on something like an LS or GS430 but never an NSX.

Looks really good though. Thats how they do it in Hawaii with these crazy offsets and stuff. 02 parts set it off too.
 
Thanks to Junction produce for the wheels and falken for the tires without them it wouldn't have been possible. Tires sizes are 215/40/18 and 225/40/18 falken 452. Im getting some fender work in the near future I want to have the tabs cut in the front and the inner fender lip flatened along with it. Rite now i'm having issues with rubbing in the front. Usually going up steep driveways while turning. This will help me get the car lower too. I'm not happy with the drop as of now.
 
Thanks for posting the pics kkt. The offsets are as follows 18x8 +30 18x10 +10

Are you sure those offsets are correct? I had a 18x8 +35 offset on the front and it extended past the fender on the front. 18x10 +10 on the rear should extend past the fender by almost 20-25mm.
Whatever it is, it looks damn good though.

I don't doubt that those specs are correct. It's Hawaii.... they can magically run these crazy offsets.:tongue: Look at EndlessNA1's car. He's running +22 in the front and +18 in the rear.

The offset specs are correct. The VIP scene in Hawaii is pretty hot right now and has a large influence on modifications. The owners of the two black NSX's above have nice VIP cars as well. I believe they took the same influence and applied it to their NSX.

Keep in mind the car was aligned to fit the wheels; sure at stock height and the stock camber settings they will stick out that much. If you like I can take a picture of the inner barrel with the sticker stating the wheel offset. Or you can go to junction produce and cross reference the lip size with the offset on their chart.

Junction Produce makes some nice stuff. I just picked up an '03 Lexus GS300 Sport Design as my daily driver and I've been eyeing alot of their stuff.....just don't know where to start :confused:

Your NSX looks great. I've seen lots of VIP treatment on Lexus LS and GS, but never thought of it for the NSX...and running a 225 wide tire on a 10" wide rear wheel gets you that look for sure.
