17/18 te37 fitment

[NAP2]

Hey team. I’ve been searching a lot last 2 weeks to avoid making a thread but come up short. Looking for feedback from anyone who has experience on the subject.

Pretty much need to know if these wheels will fit.

My option is OG te37
17x8.5 +40 front
18x10.5 +45 rear




TE37 Saga
17x8.5 +30 / +45 (face 2)
18x10.0 +35 (face 4)

I want to know if I can fit 17x9 +40 (face 3) in the fronts? Stock body Nsx na2

Both rear options will fit no problem with 275/35 on 10.5j and same tire or 265/35 on a 10j. Fronts, 8.5 with 40et will fit with 235/40 or if you go ad08r, or similar bulky sidewall tire, you can get away with 215/40 and have minimal stretch. The 17x9 et40 will fit but you wont have full turn radius as it may hit the inside of the wheel well.

Great info thank you. I hear what you are saying about not having full turn radius. But I’ve read the wheel can get pretty close to the inside shock ? I want to make sure I have clearance there. I

Of the 3 choices, you best bet is the 17x8.5 et40 235/40

I agree. I’m hoping for some magical news that it will be all ok to run the 17x9 so I can achieve trace 3 (concavity) in the fronts. In my s2000 I’m running 18x10 ze’s +35 285/30 re71r but with voltex over fenders. Achieved 17x9 +35 ce28n in oem fenders with 255/40 re-11a’s.

My choice would be the OG TE37 in 17x8.5 and 18x10.5 and you can run 215/40-17 and 265-275/35-18. I would not go as far as running the 17x9 as you will left with running 215/40 or 235/40 tires and they will be too stretched and the wheels will look poked up front. In being proportion, the 18x10 will not poke as much as the front if you understand what I am describing.

Go with the 17x8.5 +40 up front on the 215/40/17 AD08R. You will thank me. You can also fit the StopTech Trophy BBK with no modification (spacers) if you go that route.

Unless you get downforce wide fenders
