OK everyone, after an exhaustive search, I may have found some wheels that I like. Sizes are 17x7.5 and 18x10.
Just a few questions. I would like to run 215-40/17 front with 35 mm backspacing, 285-30/18 or 275-35/18 rear with 45 mm backspacing.
1. Anyone have that EXACT tire/wheel size with any problems? This is the only backspacing that is offered for these wheels(NSX specific fitment).
2. What are the weights of the factory 16/17 combo?
(The wheels I want weigh F 26 lbs./R 29 lbs. and the tires weigh F 21 lbs./R 30 lbs.)
3. The tires are F23.8 / R25.6 or 24.8 inches tall. Stock is F23.6 / R24.8 inches tall, so TCS should not be affected, right?
4. If the wheels are close to stock in weights, shouldn't the performance be the same? or better with more tire on the ground?
Thanks in advance, John
