I also have both a stock '02 M3 6 sp and a '91 NSX with I/H/E, short gears, suspension, etc.
The M3 is a great "if I could only have one vehicle to do everything" car. The engine is very nice and as said has more midrange torque making it easier to break the tires loose. Not so with the NSX. I...
I don't mean to hijack the thread but, yes, I am running 3" lift OME suspension with 295/75-16's (33.5") tires. The NSX is running 18x8/19x10, 225/35-18 and 275/30-19.
I once read the shelf life of a tire is about 7 years. I would say 14 years is pushing it.
I once bought a truck with 15+ y/o tires on it. Two tires blew out on the 30 mile drive home. One first, changed to spare, then another just a few miles later.
Just wanted to add that each NSX is different. Take a ruler and measure the distance from your rim's lip to the outer edge of the fender. It's likely that the left side is different from the right.
I have had 18x8.5" with +45mm offset and 225/35-18's Toyo T1-S work fine w/o rubbing. I had slightly modified the fender liner (rear most section) from an earlier combination. Worked just fine. No rubbing whatsoever.
