Will a 275 fit in rear?

Summary: Yes, but research in relation to your wheels and suspension setup.
I just posted my setup on my refinished wheels: http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php/191067-TSW-Nurburgring-Wheels-Refinished-in-High-Gloss
The rears are 275/30R19's. No rubbing. So yes but I imagine the position of the tire in the well matters. I'm pretty much flush with these wheels. Further out or in may cause an issue. I'm also lowered 1.25-1.5ish (Bilstiens, Teins, Lower perch).

Summary: I don't know. I'm running 215's (which are pretty small compared to the rears). I considered going to 225 which can work but will effect TCS if you can't get the appropriate side wall. Also, with my car lowered I can get an occasional rub. That said the rub is a vertical issue not a width issue.
275 in the rear on that pic.

now i get why your forum name is what it is lol
but this is very pretty and helpful. what size are you running up front?
Dam.... calling my NSX pretty. My buddy once told me that his current and last GF told him that his willy was beautiful...... wondered what that meant.
235. The car handles so well that I watch my oil gauge on a fast 1+ G turn - even though I have a oil baffle welded to the pan.
I think 305 might fit in the rear as well.

Idk if ShiftyBob actually had an 02+ or his car is jus supposed to look like it but to me the 02+ look like they widen out farther in the back than the earlier years. which would make sense why he could get 315s. my guess is 285 or 295 tops for the earlier years

See thats what i thot too but have you ever stood between an early year and an 02+ and looked towards the rear and notice the difference in the curve of the intakes?...
I'm still not throwing out the potential that said 02+ was bought with widened fenders without the owners knowledge but yea lol
Here are my 275's
The fender is the same. Here is 315/25/19 on a 1994 NSX

Someone please talk about advantages of bigger rims ie 16,17,18 vs19's
It appears that they get heavier and prices increases.

16/17 is great for a OEM HP NSX. Keeps the costs down and rotational mass down.
17/18 is great for more HP NSX and the tire selection is greater.
18/19 is for car shows and street cruising. Sucks for accelerating, handling, etc.

The only real advantage on the NSX, and it's a personal preference, is the look.
17's in the rear looks like the perfect match while preserving the looks of the body and lines.
