18x9.5 +30 is definitely not too aggressive and won't be "hellaflush" at all. There will be zero rubbing and you can keep the fender liners on. I am running a much more aggressive, 18x10 +25 right now with no issues. I'm not really concerned about rock chips on the rear 1/4 panels, never had a problem. Just avoid back country roads!
Brylek I'm running 25 rear. You have to calculate the wheel width too. A 10" wheel at an offset of 45 will sit in the same spot outside as a 9" wheel with an offset of 32. This is a 9.5" rear. Frankly, I'm shocked at the sizes and offsets available, it's as if someone designed these for an NSX fitment. And this is a true concave wheel. No I wouldn't trade my RSII's for it but this is from a reputable company at replica wheel pricing. Concave. It's a winner. I don't care for the sheen on the black but at the price I would live with it. You will see this wheel everywhere though... And I'm not sure how friendly it'll be to a BBK because of what looks like a pretty deep concave.
What's a good offset to run 215 and 275 for a 91'?
Wow, nice looking wheel at a great price! Looks a lot like the Prodrive GC-05s.
^ I think these new Enkei's look similar to alot of wheels. Can't really re-invent a 5 spoke wheel. But the concavity looks cool.
Moses we just said it! LOL... There's nothing special about your tire size.

It's a lot more concave than this.
What's the recommend offset for these:

I personally find convex wheels to be ugly and out of style... And the above are convex. Seems like no matter what shape you make it, convex just looks plain dated. Just my opinion.
Also the 8" rear really is too narrow. The spoke is similar to the model 5 but... I think that's about it.

The oem rear wheels are smaller(well not the 02 models) but would 18x8 work with no tcs issues?
Just use the tirerack.com "View wheels on vehicle feature":

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/resu...&sort=Brand&filterNew=All&filterSpecial=false
Go to Tirerack.com, choose 'Acura', choose your year, 'NSX', then pick Enkei Tuning under the wheel brand drop-down, then scroll over to the Kojin, then scroll down to 'View wheels on vehicle' (don't forget to choose the color for your car).
Neat tool to help give you an idea of how a wheel will look...
PS: I just found out that I can do that same price as Sakari of $865 (including free delivery within the continental US).
No "group buy" required...just call me anytime

The "official" word from the technical gurus at Enkei regarding these on an NSX:
"Treat this the same as an RPF1, and use":
17x8 +45
18x9.5 +35 (but since +35 in not available on Kojin, you can use +30)
.

I wouldn't listen to enkei. +45 and +30 is going to look dumb. I don't get it... Synth has tried everything and I have done a ton of math on wheels in the past. Why listen to enkei or the tire rack on a car they barely know.

I don't know it depends on your tires not the wheel width. If you're going to a 17 up front that means a 215/40/17 and that means you should be going 18 rear. That requires a 255,265, 275 rear and I wouldn't put any of this on an 8" rear.

Forget that ugly convex double spoke chu! LOL

Tire rack is truly the worst. Their wheel fitments are traditionally based on matching stock fitment. To add insult to injury, they will only allow you to order wheels based on their database. Want that 18x9.5 Kojin with +15mm. They won't sell it to you if you specify NSX.
We know what fitments will work.

I discussed this with the thread starter, but how many people are legit interested in this buy?

Yep, that's exactly what I did. It can give you a general idea but its not as good as actually seen it on a real car.
BTW - I asked for a quote for 2 @ 17x8 and 2@ 18x9.5 and was given the price of $886.
I don't want to put a damper on a group buy, I might get a set of these as track shoes myself... But this is $800 a set not $4000 a set. How much more can you save? It's a lot of effort to setup a GB. Ask me how I know. And at the end if the savings aren't substantial it's not worth it. You can probably call on your own time and haggle and get a good price on these.
Haha yes sir... I thought these would look good on my daily tsx..

I guess its better to call and haggle for the best price..
Just curious.. Which color Kojin are you guys thinking about getting?

Which color would you get for your silver nsx?
I will be going with the e in Black 17x8 17x9+35 These should be solid track wheels on the cheap.
Probably silver as I already have black advans. Just for a change.
