My Work VSKF 18x8 and 18x10. The low profile front tire make the front wheel appear bigger.

 

[socold57]

215/35R18 front and 285/35/R18 rear. No TCS issue.

i keep on reading how harsh/potentially damaging to the front wheels are running an 18 inch setup on the front of an nsx.

does any of you guys have this issues at all?

18/18 is imo my ideal setup vs having to hassle sourcing different sized wheels for front and back.

thank you guys.

Is it really a hassle to source different sized wheels? The NSX was different sized wheels stock, so it seemed wise to keep that ratio (running 17/18) Def wasnt any issue getting Volks, at least, in the right sizes.

What problems did you run into? IMHO, 17/18 looks 100x better then 18/18. It's a much more balanced look.

+1. I don't know why anyone would think it's a "hassle." If you are buying new wheels in our offsets, it's typical for a vendor to order the wheels for you regardless of the sizes. Science of Speed may even have some in stock. But there is no difference in ordering 17/18 vs. 18/18. I don't think there is any argument that 18/18 looks better then 17/18. To me, it's visually VERY noticeable that the rear appears smaller then the front when you don't do a double stagger setup. Do it once, and do it right.

i got a text from the guy saying a face on one of the 17 inch wheel has a hairline crack:frown:
