Tires for NA1 Wheels
Hey guys,
Sorry for a few threads on this subject - I just picked up some NA1 NSX wheels and need to order tires, so I am just checking one last time on the sizes.
Front: 215/55/R16
Rear: 255/40/R17
Is that right? I'm more concerned with the front.
Thanks!

What are the offsets? I would think that you would want a 215/50/16 instead of 55, but I could be wrong.
If they were both 17s you'd get a 215/45/17 front tire. Since it's 16s, I would think that you would just go to the 215/50/16 tire. Similar to how if you have 18s in the front you may run 215/40/18, but would run 215/45/17 if they were 17.
I know I was rambling, but I'm trying to explain my justifaction for why i think you want a 50 series tire.

I'd also go with a 225/50 because I think there is a better selection of tires in that size.
