Default Help with alloy fitment

Just spoke to a guy who is selling a set of alloys

they are 5x114.3 which i take is the correct fitment for a s2000, they are 8x 18

will these fit?

Does need to have a specific offset, i was told the rear ones are usually different?

any help would be great, as i dont want to buy them if they dont fit

thanks

what is the '5x114.3' figure? 5 holes, 114.3 Offset?

If all wheels are 8x18 there will be no stagger between the fronts and rear unless you use different width tyres.

PCD 5x114.3 is correct and yes the rear is a bit of a strange offset of ET65
If you go lesser offset ie ET45 or 55 your wheels will come out from under the arch (stick out)

I have noticed you are looking at those on that Purple S2000?
They look fine to me.

Is it These wheels?

Advert says 7.5"? you would get away with 215 on the front and 225 on the rear.

If you just want to change wheels for the looks then they will probably do.

Otherwise look elsewhere.

Edit: Those tyres (Tyres: x4 Falken FK451. 215/35R 18Z) are way too narrow for the rears.

cheers guys.

i was looking at the set on the purple S, and yes i think the rears are way to narrow.

There is a guy selling a set of volk style wheels on another web site, look like the te37's or something like that.

they are replicas but if they fit it would be great as they are a a bargain.

might go down with the S and see if the rears fit.

thanks
