Well, on the bright side, you have an NX with the much sought after "big
brakes"!!!  Yes the SE-R wheels are a 1/2" narrower and won't clear the
calipers. You can buy spacers;  I don't know a source right off but a local
wheel & performance shop where I used to live had them for just a few $$
each.  Mine were like 1/8" thick and gave enough clearance.  Might try
someplace like Nopi.  I've also helped install a big brake kit on an SE-R,
and your other options is to grind metal off the calipers, but I think
that's a poor route.

It also depends on how much meat is left on your brake pads.  With new
pads, the caliper will sit farther outward.  Something to keep in mind on
your next brake job.
