1996 Acura NSX Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1996 Acura NSX uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern shared across Base and T trims. The factory setup runs 16x7 wheels at 55mm offset up front, paired with staggered 17x8.5 rear wheels at 60mm offset. You can step up to seventeen and eighteen-inch sizes, including 17x7 through 17x9 and 18x7.5 through 18x9, maintaining the NSX's balanced proportions and handling feel.
Keep in mind that only 5x114.3 bolts fit this NSX—no exceptions. The hub has a 70.1mm center bore, so if you choose a wheel with a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure a proper seal and safe fitment. Aggressive offsets or overly wide setups risk contact with the fenders and suspension components, so stay within the tested compatible range to avoid costly modifications.
Every wheel we stock for your NSX is verified to fit correctly and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Brands like Work Wheels, BBS, Enkei, and Gram Lights all carry options designed for your chassis.
