Do you know I think they might!

Rears will probably need spacers as 38mm offset is probably not enough to look quite right and it may not clear on the inner arch. Standard 17" wheels are 55mm offset so probably needs a 15mm-25mm spacer.

The centre bore will almost certainly be wrong, NSX is 64.1mm front and 70.1mm rear. Provided the centre bore of the wheel is bigger than this you can use spigot rings to make sure the wheels fit "hub centrically".

I have some 25mm rear spacers you can try with the wheels if you can arrange a test fit.

I put an offer in at £600 (they're on ebay buy now £999 or best offer )... as I could put them straight on my 300ZX for track days.

Wondered if they'd fit on my NSX. if so, would have to move to Slotted, Grooved disks...

possibility he'll take the £600 serious ?


\mybe bid too much?? these are the same, right? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360052387678

At the very least I could stick them on my wifes Lexus or my 300zx as track alloys.

But when I saw them, instantly went off the Gold ones to try and put on my NSX. They (gold) sold for £750.00 ( I had first refusal, and refused! )
Not sure these are advertised right, or maybe it's the 235's all the way around... but looks like I might get these cheap. I am prepared to go much higher... and am king of bidding in the last 10 seconds... so please don't get cheeky :D

You could probably get them to fit the NSX by using spacers for the rears but I wouldn't if I were you.
The NSX is designed to have wider wheels (and tyres) at the rear than the front and those 18x8.5's are wider than ideal for the fronts.

Cheers

What do you think about these for this car. Not sure about the quality, as per price.. maybe to bling?

The Enki's are nice, needed to do a bit of work to get to fit..... see the last pic... we needed to grind a little off the front caliper carrier.... not everyones cup of tea, and something your Honda Dealer will NOT do....
