Default Will these wheels fit ?

I'm selling off some of my Subaru swag to pay for the incoming S2k. Now when it comes to my track wheels I am wondering if I can reuse these. They are Rota DPT (Volk CE28 copies) 17x9 ET42 with dual 5x100/5x114 bolt pattern. Given a set of hubcentric rings to correctly fit the hubs, will these fit an S2k ? No point selling them if I can run them again, have two sets already so I'd be good for autox & track duty.

yes, thats a bit low of an offset to run non-pulled fenders with 255s, but they will fit.

If you want to run those with 255 square setup you will definitely have to roll and pull the front and rear fenders. You'l also require a rear tab relocation and bumper trim.

Ok, so it will work with a bit of work. How hard is it to roll S2k fenders ? What is considered the optimal size & ET wheel to run autox/track. I know its a personal preference but what's the specs on the most common wheel size people run ? Should I be selling these or are they close enough that its not worth taking the loss selling them then buying another set ?

A very common fitment is 17x9 45, with 255's square so you're in the ballpark with those.
I have a set of 17x9 43's, and a set of 17x10 45's that I do trackdays with.
I bought a fender roller, and did a decent job on my first go round.
