These wheels manufactured by Volkracing for Toyota Racing Development (TRD)come inthe following sizes:

18x7.5 offset +50 for the fronts
18x9.5 offset +55 for the rears



Anyone know if these wheels will fit , especially the rear ones ?

Yes these wheels with the offset should fit. I have 18x10 with 60 offset(285-35-18 tires)and there is no rubbing at all.

Are you sure about that +60?

18x10 with a 60? No wonder he's selling the wheels so soon...

The volks you mention will fit, but not nicely. Sounds very similar in the rear to the BBS LM wheels, which were also a 9.5 and 55 offset if I remember correctly. Well, I've seen those LM wheels on an S2000 in person and they were a terrible fit. Stuck out a ton past the rear fender. Not recommended...

Does the TRD/Volk wheels have the same bolt pattern and hub bore front and rear?

Kinesis told me that the specs. were 18x10 with a 59/60 offset in the rear. These wheels with 285-35-18 in the rear does not rub at all even with a 2 inch drop from the Feels Suspensioin.

Ben- For your record, I am not selling these wheels because they dont fit. See the attached pictures for yourself. These wheels/tires fits just as good as your HREs if not better buddy. Dont make false assumptions until you have personally see the car.

Ben, the bolt pattern is the same ~ 5x114.3. What is the hub bore - I did not check on that.

Thanks for the info about the BBS LM - Now I also recall seeing pictures of this wheel. It gives a good idea of how that wheel may look on the s2k.

BTW Ben, what offsets are the HREs.

Sam, the fit of the kinesis seem to be very good given the sizes of your rear tires...cool.

Sam, if you got the wheels off the car give it a quick measure. I'm guessing more like 69/70 instead of 59/60. I'm running 9.5's at a +64 which would converts to a +70 on the 10" wheel (equal front spacing) and it's got zero room on the frt side, ZERO.

I will check on the offset myself when I get a chance. Perhaps Kinesis did make a mistake with the info. that was provided to me.

Since you are in Australia. Have you heard of a co. call Simmons? They made custom applications as well and their prices are cheaper than HREs, Kinesis, Fikse, etc. You might want to look them up.

What are those TRD/volk wheels for? The new MR2 Spyders? Or the Supra? Those would look good on the MR2.
