I wanted to triple confirm a wheel size will fit on an NSX with factory springs/brakes (NA2 pre-facelift)

Front:
17x7.5 ET40 215/40-17
18x9.5 ET38 265/35-18 (vs 255/35-18)

Yes I searched older threads but got mixed answers regarding the fronts (most were ok, though I have heard of rubbing on full lock as well?). The rears appear to be ok. Not sure which setup but likely 255 given the less understeer (and more than adequate grip with modern rubber)

At factory height no rubbing at the front has to be expected with that size.
Personally I'd favor 255 but some like 265 in the rear. 265 will result in even taller gearing.
