I just found a refinished pari of veilside rims for dirt cheap but im not sure if they fit

seeing how i just got my s2000 2 days ago i don't really know to much about the details such as wheel offset


the guy said the rims are this 18 x 8.5 FRONT W/ +47 OFFSET; 18 x 9.5 REAR W/+42 OFFSET with a bolt patern of 5 x 4.50 or 5 x 114.3

so will they fit ? my s2000 is a 2001 i dont think that matters though




thanks for your help

if its a 5x4.50 (which i never heard of) then it wont fit. if its a 5x114.3 then ill fit..BUT! u will have to roll ur fenders front and back or just get a wide body kit. post pix of the rims

4.5 inches multiplied by 25.4mm/inch = 114.3mm

these wheels are easy fit. ive ran more lower offset and they fit fine. all you need is roll your fenders. if it still rub, run negative camber

The rears won't fit unless you run some skinny tires AND roll the fenders.

here is a picture of the rims and its the only one i have..... he said he just had them pro refinished

now when you guys say roll the fenders, would it be easier to do that or just get a wide body kit, because i was planning on getting the veilside v1 body kit but if i need a wide one i'll just look around for a diff one.

you can run 255 tire but there is more of a chance rubbing even with camber and rolled fenders . if you run 245 you will be fine with less camber than the 255.

ok i just found out exactly what fender rolling is and an easy way to do it
after 4 years of owning a muscle car and i had never hear of that term

here is a cheap way to do it i found on you tube, don't mind the weird music

That's so ghetto! Do it right and get it done at a reputable bodyshop. It's a S2000 not some spray painted POS.
