Just did a quick look of the nsx rims and here's the specs / tires I have:

17x7, +60 offset running 215/40/17 tires up front
17x9, +56 offset running 255/40/17 tires in back

Pics coming soon,

I think I'll run either 205/55 or 215/55 fronts and 245/40 or 255/40 rears. Wyatt, which size and type of tires did you go with?

Just mounted them b4 breakfast....

The rears fit almost perfect with about 1/2 finger gap to the rear fender in terms of width.

The fronts are a bit tucked and could use a 5-10mm spacer to bring it out a bit. The 215/40 tire I have up front is slightly thinner than the oem ap2 size (215/45) so I may have to drop the front a bit as the gap looks larger.

Anyone else run a 5-10mm spacer?

here's some pics as promised with 2 notes:

The rear nsx wheel center caps don't fit on an s2k wheel unless u use a small spacer. Also the rea NSX tire fitment 255/40 is TOO THICK for an s2000 and I will probably need to go 255/35 or a 245/40 as mine rubs really bad on bumps right now.


enjoy
rick

Damn, that looks so good. Does it rub in on the inside or outside on the fender?

Rubs on the inside of the rear fender rubber lining. With 2 people in the car at rest, it has barely 1/4" and the tires are thick enough that it hits for sure on any compression. I don't want to increase the camber (tire wear) so my best option is to run thinner profile tires (245) or less sidewall (35 series). Have to think this one over but I just wanted you guys to know the fitment of the wheel/tire.

Wyatt: I actually really like the exact Prodrive setup in your sig!
