After reading all four pages, still couldn't find an answer to my question. Does anyone know who makes hubcentric with built in studs spacers in 15mm and 20mm? Kics don't seem to have the hubcentric and H&R seems to start at 21mm.

Pic of 25mm all around on AP2V1s dropped on Monoflex recommended height:
Before anyone asks, to fit, I needed to roll the fenders all around, rear tabs relocated 2+ inches back, and most of the rear bumper edge trimmed to nearly nothing.

Note the recesed hubs on the back of the ap2 wheels but not the nsx wheels?
However! The NSX wheel appears to have a hint of recess between the bolt holes - apparently this is insufficient even for 20mm spacers?
Anyway, if I ever replace my wheels it's either going to be AP2v3 or those NSX wheels - I've wanted them for quite some time. I was going to have either set done white for my LBP car, but what color are you going with for yellow? Still waiting for pics!
(you can see the fronts are way too tucked, I will have new pics with the 15mm spacers once I get the wheels back from powdercoater)

Sorry been super busy with my LED projects lately so no time to revisit this project right now.
Let me say that 15mm spacers all around is the BEST SAFE FITMENT for the OEM s2000 rims on stock tire sizes, no fender modifications.
Remember my oem nsx fron rim is 5mm LESS AGGRESSIVE so that means you can get away with a 20mm spacer up front
LoudMusic: You are CORRECT, the NSX indentations are NOT sufficient to allow any bolt protrusion even with a 20mm spacer. Essentially if you have the OEM NSX rims it must be with the 25mm hubcentric spacer or otherwise you must replace the studs with longer bolts.
OEM rims you can get away with not replacing the studs.

Evasive sells 2 different "Wheel Stud Thread Pitch" for the Project Kic spacers:
15mm - 12 X 1.25mm - 5 X 114.3
or
15mm - 12 X 1.5 mm - 5 X 114.3
Which one do I order for AP2 wheels? The 12X1.25 or 12X1.5?
15mm - 12 X 1.25mm - 5 X 114.3
or
15mm - 12 X 1.5 mm - 5 X 114.3

Also just to let you guys know my experience with spacers/wheels.
I have a set of Work VS-XX wheels with stock offsets front & back.
Tires are Falken Azenis 225/4517 & 255/40/17. These tires run a bit wider than most 225 & 255.
Spacers are 15mm front & rear.
Drop is 1" Eibach Springs.
I had to roll my front & rear fenders, relocate the bumper tab & run -2 degrees camber front & back.
So, anyone running stock offsets, with 15mm spacers & a 1" or more drop, WILL RUB if you run anything wider than a stock tire size.
