Pictures of NSXs with 17" front and 17" rear wheels

[popsicle]

I'm looking to pick up some BBS LMs in 17x8 ET 35 and 17x9 ET 35 let me know what you all think. would like to see other NSXs with 17s all around.

The OEM 2002-2005 wheels are 17/17s, I think you will be fine. Some say it's because of the design that they don't have the same optical illusion as 18/18s but I think it's the bigger sidewalls on the 17s eliminate the illusion. That must be why Honda chose to do 17s. Just my opinion-

I wouldn't do it. If you're spending a lot of money on wheels make sure it is what you want. I know someone who went with 17/17 and he is already talking about selling the wheels.

17s all around can look good if you are slammed.

my temporary wheels when I first picked up my nsx. These came off of my S2000

If you are buying LM's then get the right sizes.

There is no debate, 17/18 clearly looks better then 17/17. IMHO of course.

im going to run the TE37's off my s2k for the time being. they are 17x7.5+40 and 17x9+40. the fronts have 225/45/17 star specs and rub on the inner liner when i do a half turn:frown:...should i go with 215/40/17 and 265/40/17 or can i get away with running 275's in the rear? the front sits really flush and i wish i could keep it the way it is but dont want to ruin my fenders.

275 looks better on a 9.5 so it will be very square on a 9. You should really just use a 255 and get a tire that runs wide.

The best I've ever seen is the DoLuck NSX. 17s all around and gorgeous.

17/17 is best. and was a factory up-grade after many years of smaller sizes. anything bigger is a de-grade. especially if not lighter than oem due to rotational inertia.

 

[swerve2007]

not to mention a significant price increase comparing 17in rears to 18in.

 

[Nero Tenebre]

Plus more expensive tires. 19s are Double the price of 18s!

I've never really been a fan of the 18/19 combo on the NSX.

17/18 looks perfect IMO.
