RE050 is just a Bridgestone pattern. They make the 'Scuderia' RE050 which is the tyre for the Enzo, which is a specific construction / compound for the Enzo, but the normal RE050 tread pattern - just like the S02JZ is an S02 with specific compound/construction for the S2000.
NSX wheels will fit (at least the later ones, I doubt the early wheels would clear the brakes.). Do a search and you'll find a few cars in the US running them. Usual problem of hard to get tyres due to the stagger though.

I've not decided what I'm doing yet (it's looking like the S is going to be off the road for a while anyway.). I'm really interested how well the Toyo's would work with the new suspension.
