I have a spare set of new re01r off my s2000.. I'm curious If I can use these on my nsx... Specs are 215/45/17 and 255/40/17...

What would some problems I may run into... Tcs, rubbing etc...

the front should rub with 215/45/17, Rears are oem spec so they're okay =D
 
For those who have tried that in the front for some they've been getting problems with the TCS system, and you'll definately get some sort of rubbing when you have to full lock for day to day driving. If you're using it as dedicated track tires, then go right ahead, you shouldn't get any rubbing issues until you try to park it (I sometime rub with my dropped suspension on oem size 215/40/17 and i already have minor rub marks on my fenders, can't imagine how bad 45 is gonna be).

If anything, since you have the tires anyways, why don't you slap it on and try it out :biggrin: good luck!
 
The proper NSX front fitment is a:
215/40/17.

Expect to have rubbing & TCS issues as well as a NSX that just looks a "little off" if you run a 215/45/17. :smile:
