Just got them this week the sizes are.

Fronts-17x8-35 offset with 215-40-17s 2mm spacer required.
Rears-18x10-43 offset with 265-35-18s 5mm spacer not required.

I have the Stoptech BBK and decided to run a 5mm spacer in the rear so it looks more even with the fronts because of the aggressive offset. FYI Eibachs and Konis and both front and rear Volks are face 1.

Holy Shit!! Those look hot!!! I was always under the impression that Gt-c fit the car perfectly (no spacers required..):confused:

They do fit without spacers on your stock NSX but like I said I have the Stoptech BBK so I need the 2mm to clear the front Caliper. And I just wanted the rears to stick out a hair to match the fronts. Volk has a number of different offsets and most say go with a 41 offset front and 43 offset rear for the stock Brakes.
 
Here is a good one where you can really see the Gunmetal color.

Steven,

Really nice setup, worth the wait :D.

BTW: What pad material did you end up chosing to go with? The P+'s will dust like crazy but the gunmetal color might make it less likely to show as much on the wheel.

Ken,
I just plan on using the pads that came with the kit for the street and just change them at the track to P+ since it's so easy to do. BTW it was worth the wait...now I just want to get a allignment to be safe talked to John V at AOB today and will get it in a week or two.
 
Looks great. In the begining I had spacers on my front BBK as well but found that they were the cause for vibrations in the wheel and steering feel. After their removal (spacers) and new 6 piston set up the vibrations are gone.

Tan,
I don't feel any vibrations at all it's like the perfect ride at all speeds and you have a ton of stopping power. :D

It might have been the type of spacers I was using. Looking good on your set up. Someone here in Southern California is running red Stoptech front and rears.

Very nice!!!!! I think there are so manyNSX with Volk GT-C the we can make a picture thread on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Nice!

I want my GT-C wheels! your car looks great! I sent PM’s to a few of you already about wheel and tire combinations. One last question to GT-C owners, where is the best place to purchase the wheel/tires? Do most of you use online wheel distributors or just your local wheel shop?

I went through Sherwin at www.brakezone.com super nice guy and a good price. I heard very good things about Ben at WB in Miami also.

Nice wheels. But it looks like that the front wheels stick a bit out of the fenders. Is this true?

The fronts just a hair but I don't mind.
