Default Guidance: NSX wheels fitment on Civic?

I know this is crazy, but I found these stock 91-94 NSX wheels for fair pricing.

front: 15x7
rear: 16x8

Looks? I don't really care for becuase these are light weight and will be used for autoX and road racing events with R compounds. I just want to know if these will fit without issues.

Spacer size if needed.
Planning to roll fenders anyway.

Guidance is appreciated.

looks like you are going to need at least a 10mm spacer on the 15x7 and at least a 15-20mm spacer on the 16x8.

iirc:

15x7 offset is +55
and
16x8 offset is +60

are you planning on running the 8 up front?

It'd be nice to run the 16x8 in front hence the FWD, but I'd have to seriously roll the fenders and maybe even flare them out a bit too. though it'd look funky with the 16 in front and 15 in back. But again, looks aren't the topic here. I'd like to run a -3 camber up front too, but I don't want to have to get adjustable arms. grr..

Thanks.

also, you might want to check out your local track's rules on running spacers. im not too versed on different guidelines but then just looking out.

if you do a search on 16x8's in the +40 offset range it seems they got them to fit w/ rolling of the fenders and negative camber like you stated above.

No, they won't fit. The big problem is the center bore on the NSX wheels, which is 64 mm on one axle, and 70 mm on the other. Unless you get hub adapters which include a "lip" over which to fit the wheels, the wheels with the bigger bore won't be hubcentric and as a result are going to be susceptible to vibrations. It's best NOT to try to fit NSX wheels on a Civic.
