Pics Request: NSX on Varrstoen

[S2kvee]

I just purchased my first 96 nsx a few weeks back. The car fortunately came with Na2 02+ wheels but no center caps well i've been urging to try on a few looks. I still have my old 17" bbs lms off my s2000 but it turns out, the look would make it worst than for better. I am curious to see how Varrstoens in te37 style would look.

My second question is, how would the authentic te37 and varrstoen compare. I still have a pair of 17x7.5 +40 authentic te37 off the front of my s2000 sparing around somewhere in storage. I wanted to see if it would look weird rocking te37 front with varrstoen rears.

Hapa88,

According to Varrstoen, they DO NOT make a 18x8 only a 18x8.5. At least thats why they told me when i called them directly and few shops too.

So unless Angus knows something we don't.

What you think?

The wheel was called the ES 2.2.1 in matte black. Here's post on their blog that shows the wheel and the 18x8 +35 fitment for a 350Z (which fits the NSX front)

It looks like they revamped their line slightly for 2012, so the ES 2.2.1 might not be available anymore...

From my understanding, they don't offer those sizes anymore...

Looks like your right!

18x8 was an old model. Now they only have 18x8.5 for our fronts.

I have actually tried these wheels on my car with (18x8.5 +35) (19x9.5 +22) and they fit well but will need stretch tires

My guy @ the shop recommended 215/35/18 front and 245/35/19 rear.

If we people are interested, he is willing to get a group buy started

Did you tried with tyres on how it looks?
You can go also 265/35 rear.Think that it will look bit less stretch.
I'm interested how it looks front 8,5x18 with that 215/35 and how much it rubb?

Do NOT get a 35 series rear on a 19" tire. The rear should be 265/30/19

 

[Hapa88]

The rear wheel will tuck inward more when you drop it down. See example below:

They may a 18x8.5 +45. That may be better suited for our cars.

i prefer more rim than tire. I not tracking my car so i might as well maximize looks.

Hapa is correct. The wheels will go inward when it lowers down.

Please check out this shit for all your tire and rim questions
