Width: 17x7.5 and 18x9.5 (although you can vary by plus or minus a half inch).

Ken he is still asking for offsets. NSX offsets are a pain, especially with a BBK.

I know, but there's no standard answer on the offsets. It depends on which wheels you're talking about. Such-and-such offset on one wheel might fit fine, but on another wheel, it might not, because the spoke clearance pattern is different.

You'll have to find someone who is already using the wheels you're considering, with the same calipers as yours ('91-96 stock, '97-04 stock, or aftermarket).

That is why I didn't answer!!

40 offset is a starting point for front and rear, but like Ken said some people move it down a bit (35-40) for caliper clearance. Sometimes a spacer is still needed to clear the front BBK. Anything over a few mm's, you should also get extended studs as well.
