NSX-R Suspension and aftermarket wheels?

[NSXknight]

Would the drop from the NSX-R suspension make aftermarket wheels look ok on a 97 NSX?

16/17s and 17/18s?

Anyone have picture of their rims with this suspension?

These are all on the 02+ type R suspension.

I guess I'll contribute:

Prodrive GC-010C 17x7.5 18x9.5

Gram Lights 57C 17x7.5 17x9.5

Volk GT-C 17x7 17x9

and for good measure OEM 15/16s.

thanks Joe!

So its safe to say that I would be able to run some 16/17s or 17/18s without getting the 4x4 look since it lowers the car by .7 inches?

I dunno, I've been told by some people that I need to lower my car, but I just laugh.

beautiful - but im sure everyone here is gonna tell you - its needs a bit of a drop....just my opinion though.

I don't know if it's the angle of the pics, but some of them look like the car is lifted.

If your going after performance then the R suspension is good.

I think it "looks" awful. The car looks like a monster truck.
my opinion....lol

Well I ended up going 17/18 OZ Ultras. Some cars who were just lowered an inch look great. I actually found out that I have the Type S suspension which is pretty similar to the Type R .5"-.7" should still look good at 17/18 staggered

Hmmm... I like the ones in the first picture.

These are all on the 02+ type R suspension.

i didn't notice much of a visible difference between the stock ride height and the 02R ride height..... i kinda wanted the more tucked look, but i can't complain - the car handles like absolute heaven
