Rim size f/r : 17X8" / 18X9
Rim offset f/r: +30mm (i know, i know too agressive)/ +38mm
Tire size f/r: 215/40/17 / 255/35/18

Spacers needed f/r:
Extended lugs? f/r:
Front tire rubbing? inside/outside: hopefully with downforce jdm wide front fenders there won't be.

If you could re-order your current set-up, what would you change?: after fitting the wheels on the car and driving till the tires die out; i am likely going to extended the front lip 1/2-1" (17x8.5-9, 2 inch lip) and rear lip 1 inch 18x10 (3.5 inch lip). not sure if this dream setup will clear the fronts safely so i'll have to drive the car a season first with the current setup first and work from there

Oyagi, I need your help. I’m trying to get my stance height similar to yours. I have nearly an identical wheel setup but they are Advan RZs. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm looking into a coilover kit, but I have a few questions below.

1. What brand tire are you running?
2. Did you adjust the camber?
3. Are you running a camber kit?

NSX Prime name: Keeptrying
Year NSX: 1991
Rim brand, and type: Advan RZ
Rim size f/r : 17x8 / 18x10
Rim offset f/r: +37mm / +35mm
Tire size f/r: Nitto NT01 225/45 front and 275/40
BBK? if so brand: YES, Stoptech
Spacers needed f/r: Yes front only just to be safe, will begin experimenting shortly
Extended lugs? f/r: None
Front tire rubbing? inside/outside: Yes, both
Tire rubbing rear?: None
Suspension: Bilstein, Type S Springs, Type R sway front and type S rear, Cedar non-compliance clamps
If you could re-order your current set-up, what would you change?: I would definitely change a few things. The tire size is simply too large. I really like the way the car handles right now but it’s sitting high and still rubbing. Hopefully, Oyagi can give me some advice.

KT, beautiful car. It's pretty much what I would like to do cosmetically to mine (if I can only get off the fence over the '02 conversion).

I'm running Dunlop Star Specs 215 40 17 and 285 35 18. No camber kit, alignment done as close to eom setting as possible. What kind of coil over are you using? I'm on Tein flex set according to their suggested settings. I had to raise the front 1/2 turn just so I don't destroy my front lip.

What do you mean "unknown" for your tire sizes? Looks great but I'm sure that is important info. Can you look it up?

I had the tires removed a while back and cant remember the sizes. I might be able to blow up a pic and see the sizes on the sidewalls.

So you don't have this wheel setup anymore?
