those of you that have NSX brakes on your car, what size wheel are you using and what offset? I would like to stay with 15" but have no clue on the offset.

 

I didnt know u can put nsx brakes on a civic. I knew u could do it on a prelude.

 

you can put them on gsr brake setups. pm slooogsr i know he has them on his gsr with rota c8s but i don't know if they are 15 or 16.

 

15x7 TE37 (43mm offset)

well, offset doesn't matter so much as spoke design. you could have more then enough offset, but the outer part of the spoke where it meets the wheel may not have enough clearance. as far as wheels, i run a gaggle of different ones

FD RX7 (16x8. +50)


steelie (15x6.5, +45)

steelies with hubbies (stealth mode)

TE37 (15x7, +45)

sorry, like this shot with the te's...


Kosei K1 (15x7, +38)


RSX wheels (16x6.5, +45? fitment was soooo friggin close to the caliper carrier, but it cleared)


custom machined 15x8.5's


man, wow has my car changed over the years

 

ThankYou for the info!

 

rodney
damn nice set of wheels you've gone through. what no spoons??? come bro lets see them..

 

yeah some guy just a day or two ago was having fitment problems with his NSX brakes into his civic, so hopefully he'll chime in to help ya out too.

 

actally, not JUST gsr brakes, cause there the same as all 94-01 Integra brakes (-R). NSX calipers will go on, with the righ setup, the knuckles of any 94-01 integra, and 92-00 Civics (92-95 the EX/SI with ABS only, 96-00 EX and 99-00 Si only).
i heard a +40 with a 6" wide wheel will do it, someone wanna back me up?

 

spoke design is also key. my roomate had racing hart T6, 18x7.5 +42 and they cleared his front brakes on his V6 accord fine b/c there was very little lip and the spokes were far towards the outside of the rim. when he switched to C2's (exactly the same size), the spokes went inwards for more lip and less brake clearance. he needed 5mm spacers up front to clear his brakes.

Ha ha, you said "gaggle"

 

so what all is needed for the NSX brake conversion? I have a eg hatch with itr 5 lug swap. Do you swap the rotors as well as the calipers?... ill search

it is easy for you my friend:

step 1: unbolt itr caliper
step 2: bolt on nsx caliper
step 3: enjoy!

*of course you have to bleed, don't anyppost saying they crashed my car without bleedig the brakes

 

Are NSX calipers 4 pot? If you upgrade to NSX calipers, will ITR MC be sufficient enough for it?

Thanks

yes, an itr master is fine, as well as a 15/16 civic master as well.

 

so i have a 95 cx with 94 integra discs all around. i put all the arms and everything off the integra. will the nsx calipers bolt right up to a four lug setup? i run a 15x7 kosei racing k1 ts. i think the offset is 40.

 

the wheels you need to search for have a thing called "high disc" and is what everyone keeps talking about with the spokes being far out towards the lip. this will allow for the clearance...does anyone know what would need to be done for a del sol vtec (94') to make them fit...i think the suspension is the same as the gsr but am not sure. thanks
