Nope, I plan to keep this NSX pristine and totally stock mechanically....
We are in the midst of supercharging the s2000 though so going to concentrate on making that car a bit faster

LOL absolutely no turbo's on the NSX.
"IF" I ever do any FI on the NSX it would be the SOS kit....and that's a big "IF"

^Good question, almost every NSX owner runs a stagger configuration since it flows better with the car. Only the 02+ NSX runs 17/17 stock but all aftermarket wheels are stagger meaning one size bigger in the rear.
this was my old set of rims, 18" front, 19" rear:
When I couldn't find a set of 19" rear LM's I tried a used 18/18 combo in dark satin gun-metal. Note this color is my favorite color but the rears look a bit small and not proportioned.
Finally I switched to the 18/19" LM's in a custom ordered DSK finish: (sorry don't have any better pics except my wedding pics)

^I've heard of a few s2000 and Supra guys doing this stagger but never on a Z-car. The trick is to offset the tire side-wall so you do not drastically affect the overall diameter. I would think any reputable tire/wheel shop can help you with this....
this is a different angle for the 18's, as you can see without having the front wheels in the same line of sight it's not as apparently noticeable:
Rear wheel only:
Front wheel only:
Both front and rear visible at same time:

We just had our annual SF Wekfest car show (this is the only show I enter each year with this car) and had a blast driving up to the show.
Great crowd, great food and definitely a lot of fun, some random pics people took:
and a cool night shot with my new LED DRL setup:
