Expert Buying Guide for 1994 Acura NSX
For your 1994 Acura NSX, the bolt pattern is 5x114.3mm with a center bore of 70.1mm. When selecting aftermarket wheels, ensure the center bore matches or use hub-centric rings to prevent vibrations. The offset is critical: stock is around 40mm; deviations affect handling and clearance. Always verify lug nut thread pitch (12x1.5) and seat type—use conical or ball seat nuts as specified. Improper lug nuts can cause wheel loss. Wheels from 1992–2005 NSX are direct fit. Avoid 5x120 pattern wheels without adapters.
