OEM wheel and tire fitment specs for the 2001 Acura NSX, including bolt pattern (PCD), center bore diameter, thread size, rim diameter, rim width, wheel offset, and backspacing.
Recorded OEM specifications for the 2001 Acura NSX, donor years with overlapping ranges, and a calculator to compare a selected wheel. Range overlap is not a guaranteed fit.
Center-bore records disagree: year-level hub 64.1 mm vs trim range 70.1–70.1 mm. Interchange below does not treat this as an unqualified match.

Donor vehicles with overlapping OEM specs
These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2001 Acura NSX. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 11 donor years. Listed 11 eligible overlaps (not all evaluated years are compatible). Showing all listed.
Wheel geometryOEM width/offset ranges overlap (not a specific wheel)
Center-bore records disagree (target year-level hub 64.1 mm vs trim range 70.1–70.1 mm). Unqualified overlap is not claimed until the conflict is resolved.

Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2001 Acura NSX is M12x1.5. This donor year is recorded as M14x1.5. That is the vehicle stud/nut thread, not an intrinsic thread stamped on the wheel. Hardware must match this vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat and engagement. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not in this dataset, so products are not a verified fit.
Donor width/offset sits outside the known OEM envelope for this vehicle. Recorded vehicle-side thread differs (M14x1.5 on the donor year vs M12x1.5 on the target vehicle). Hardware must match the target vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not confirmed in this dataset.

tl;dr
2001 Acura NSX known OEM wheel data below. NSX often runs staggered sizing by axle. If your rear specs differ, confirm with the on-page calculator and your OEM service info.

Do not assume this covers both axles. The NSX commonly uses different rear sizing. Verify by VIN or owner’s manual.
Recommendation
I treat the 2001 NSX as a precision chassis. Start with OEM geometry, then change one variable at a time.
Confirm both axles. If your rear wheel differs, record its diameter, width, and offset.
Stay hub-centric to 64.1 mm. Avoid large center bore without proper rings.
Match bolt pattern 5x114.3 and M12x1.5 threads only.
Use the calculator. Compare donor wheels against your NSX. Adjust width and offset until inner and outer clearances look safe.
Keep tire overall diameter close to OEM. The calculator updates diameter as you change rim size.
If upsizing, test a small step first. Example workflow: 16x7 ET55 to a 17x7.5 with a near OEM effective offset. Confirm inner clearance and fender poke in the tool.
Select tires after wheels. Enter section width and aspect ratio to maintain diameter and speedometer behavior.
Impact
Offset changes alter scrub radius and steering feel. Small moves are noticeable on the NSX.
More width pushes inboard or outboard. Inner side risks strut and liner. Outer side risks fender contact.
Larger diameter tightens brake and arch clearance. The calculator shows diameter change as you adjust sizes.
Unsprung mass affects ride and braking. Lightweight, properly rated wheels help preserve handling.
Hub fit controls vibration. 64.1 mm hub-centric fit is preferred.
Risks
Staggered reality. Many NSX trims use larger rear wheels and tires. Do not copy front sizing to the rear without checks.
Caliper clearance. Spoke design can hit the caliper even if width and offset look OK in numbers.
Hub bore mismatch. Oversized bores need quality hub-centric rings sized to 64.1 mm.
Thread engagement. Lug nuts must fully seat with proper engagement. Never force cross-threaded nuts.
Spacer use. Only if necessary, with hub-centric spacers and extended studs. Re-validate offset and load path.
Tire load and speed ratings. Match or exceed OEM ratings for safety.
ABS and TCS behavior. Large tire diameter changes can upset calibration.
Unknown trim differences. If values vary by axle or package, confirm via OEM sources.

Checklist
Identify both axle specs on your car. Check the owner’s manual or dealer printout by VIN.
Open the calculator on wheelinterchange.com. Set “Installed on” to 2001 Acura NSX.
Enter your current wheel and tire sizes for both axles.
Test a candidate wheel in “Wheels from” or “Custom wheel size”. Adjust width and offset until clearances are safe.
Dial tire size in “Custom tire size”. Keep overall diameter near OEM per the tool readout.
Confirm hub bore 64.1 mm and bolt pattern 5x114.3 on the donor wheel.
Buy quality hardware that matches M12x1.5 threads and correct seat type. If unknown, verify with the wheel manufacturer.
Install with clean hubs and proper torque to the OEM spec listed in your service manual. Recheck torque after a short shakedown drive.
Road test at low speed. Listen and feel for vibration or rubbing. Inspect inner liners and caliper clearance immediately.
Gotchas
Same numbers, different results. Spoke shape can make or break caliper clearance.
Backspacing matters. The given 5.67 in guides inner clearance. Recalculate if you change width or offset.
Center caps and ring depth. Some rings or caps interfere with grease caps. Test-fit before tire mounting.
A normal wheel spacer does not change bolt pattern. Hub rings cannot enlarge a wheel bore that is smaller than the hub. Brake clearance and tire package fitment still require vehicle-specific checks when not confirmed in the dataset.
