Default Will 15" wheels fit with NSX calipers on stock rotors?

I was planning on putting NSX calipers on my stock 5th gen brake system here in the future, and I was wondering if a 15" wheel will be able to fit because I will still need to be able to fit my slicks on for the track, so let me know if this works, thanks guys.

you could get legend GS calipers... they would be cheaper, you just have to turn them upside down to bleed them. As far as if they fit.... I highly doubt it.

You shouldn't have any fitment issues with just about any 15" wheel out there. The pistons are still on the inside of the rotor, unlike 4 & 6 piston brakes, & 11" rotors have plenty of breathing room between the caliper & 15" wheels so there is very little chance of you having fitment issues.

smaller wheels = lighter and better acceleration and a hell of alot better choices in tires.

I just wish we could fit 13" wheels, then the slick/wheel choices would be so much better, oh well.
