Default Need opinions.. Enkei NSX setup on AP1

I picked up a set of classic Enkei RP01s for cheap. They came off an NSX. The specs are 17x8 fr 18x9.5 rr +38 offset all.

I'm currently dropped on Espelir springs with Koni shocks. I haven't had a chance to do alignment yet and wanted to figure out what to dial in after I did some research, so hence this question.

What do you guys think? Run these wheels or sell and get something more fitting? What should I align the car at if I do run these wheels?

Tires going on will be 245/40s in the back and 225 fronts, stock body.

Those are pretty aggressive. Your fenders will need allot of work and you will have to add a nice bit of camber to run these wheels if you are lowered.

The front won't be to bad. The rear is going to need a little massaging to get them to fit tho. Post up pics!

The NSX wheel sizes make the S2k resemble a dune buggy.

stick to the 215 front, less headache.
otherwise roll and massage them in.

I have a setup of 17" Enkei RPF's, T1R coilovers, 255/40/17 Azenis RT-615 all around w/ wide front fender flares. No rub front nor rear. Perfect.

The specs are very do-able I may say.

If you have all the proper fender/suspension work done; cut, roll, pull, trim, relocate, camber, etc etec you can run a 255/225 set up and It will make your car look that much more amazing. However, you will be more prone to rubbing if the rear 1/4s have not been tampered yet. A 245 will have a nice little stretch to it, giving you the clearance needed, but it won't look as a hard as a 255 imo. Just a thought
