Lowered with Eibach springs, stock shocks.

Nice wheels, how's the turning clearance lock to lock?
Plenty of clearance.
Thanks for the kind words. I bet you are excited for the new wheels. I know I was.
Looks great, just you need to lower it little bit more:smile:
which color? OK to PM for more info?
Welcome to the Advan fraternity...glad you didn't let the "too bad they are casted" BS scare you from purchasing them. They are lighter than Techno magnesium wheels, and so far no cracks after 2 years of hard tracking.
looks like the standard RS NSX fitment, correct me if I'm wrong:
17×8 et37 (f) and 18×10 et35 (r)
17×8 et37 (f) and 18×10 et35 (r)
Correct, these are the standard offset.
hi Ryan --
The "standard" front offset which you have is 17x8.0+45, which clears Brembo, AP Racing, Racing Brake, etc big brake kits. The +37 is used for Stoptech kits. It's a splitting hairs difference, but we prefer +45 unless you have Stoptech brakes as it helps with scrub radius and clearance from lock to lock.
Cheers,

^ Not to go entirely off topic, but why is 17x8.0+45 the "standard?" +37 looks way better IMHO (ie. should be the standard).
I should have went +45. My tire is still rubbing on the outer fender with 1.5 degrees negative camber using 215-40-17's. I do like the way it looks though.:smile:
