hey i have a question that i feel the itr forum would be able to best help me. i have a 5 lug conversion and nsx brake setup consisting of nsx calipers on front and rear and nsx rotors on the rear legend rotors on the front. my question is i notice that my itr wheels barely clear the calipers. i plan to buy a set of work rsz-r wheels very soon and i was wondering if there is a certain offset that i need to stay away from in order to clear the brakes. what would be the ideal offset. im kinda newb when it comes to wheels. any help would benefit. thanks alot!

 

It depends on the spoke design of the wheel.



How's this for close?

These are +45mm offset 15"s

 

...DAMN that is pretty close. the design on the work rsz-r seems like the spokes tend to go further out as they get near the lip of the rim. i am currently looking at a set with a +44 offset and just want to know if that will work out for me

 

anyone else have any first hand experience

 

i guess the cheap remedy would be to get extended studs and a spacer

 

true

 

how did u get 15 inch mf10's

I have bought NSX calipers a week ago but I still need to buy rotors. I have used the search option and almost everyone has chosen Legend GS rotors.

Why choose Legend GS rotors and not aftermarket 28mm rotors like Brembo, Stoptech or whatever?

Is the offset of the hub the problem when using aftermarket rotors?

What are you saying? An aftermarket rotor to fit a Legend GS is going to be the same as an 'OEM' rotor or an 'OE' rotor from autozone, etc. The bling (stoptech) rotors wont stop the car any faster but they will put a big dent in your wallet.

bah... my steelies were closer.



it is not so much offset, as spoke design. the above steelies are 15x6.5, +50.

 

The steelies are even tight on the stock calipers.

Price and availability.. Cheapo legend rotors can be had at autozone, etc.

 

My RSZ-R wheels are close, close to the stock calipers... so I am doubting they will clear the NSX calipers without a spacer. I can't remember my exact offset but it is somewhere in the 42-45 range I think.

 

yikes im not sure what to do now. if i were to get a 5mm spacer would i have to get extended studs as well or would i be able toget away with it. do you think a 5mm spacer would be large enough to help

 

With 309 hp/238 tq - I would opt for longer studs if you are running spacers

 

that was my last car... i need to update my sig

 

is there anyone with first hand experience with this setup? or have any other opinions

what do you need to know?

 

i need to know if the wheel itself without spacers will fit onto my car with nsx rotors and calipers. the wheels having a +44 offset

 

??

 

You do not want to run NSX rotors - please search.

 

theyve been on for over a year now in the rear so what gives. just looking for an answer to my question not criticism about my setup

I have NSX calipers and I'm looking for the Legend GS rotors. The problem is that the Legend GS was not sold in the Netherlands (too my knowledge) so I'm having trouble finding the correct information about the different Legend rotors.

I have searched HT and the internet but Legend GS rotor information is hard to find. I don't want to buy the wrong rotors so can someone please provide more information about the Legend GS rotors?

- Thickness = 28mm
- Diameter = 282mm
- Stud pattern = 5x114.3
- Offset hub = ?
- Centre hole diameter = ?

Does someone have a drawing of the rotor (like this one: http://www.brembo.com/Catalogo...0.jpg)

Thanks!
