Default NSX Caliper Clearance w/ SSR Mk-III

im in the process of buying a used set of SSR Mk-III, but before i do i want to know if i will have enough clearance using nsx calipers. the pictures i have seen of the wheels, the faces/disks look fairly flat. would anybody know for sure if the calipers would have enough clearance?
here are the specs just in case... 15x8 +13


oh, sorry if its in the wrong section

Good luck. I'm thinking not many have such a combo.

I'm going to say it's probably a no. I'll ask my brake guy who does OEM brake conversions, but I know acura RL, S2000, and other big honda calipers do NOT fit under 15" wheels.

Edit: If you use the 23T bracket a 15" wheel will work fine with NSX calipers. You'll need to use an ITR rotor though.

the issue is the clearance of the hanger and offset of the rotor.

1. ITR 23mm rotor, use the 23T bracket
2. NSX 28mm rotor, use the 28T bracket

sorry guys i should have made my self a little more clear. yes i will be running nsx calipers but, using the 23T bracket.

i have tested this set up with many different wheels, and they all seem to fit. the only one that had troubles were Watanbe's, only because the wheel weight was a little thick and in the way.
please do ask your mate.
