Yeh they will fit in but if you can imagine the nut surface will not mate up to the wheel tapered face perfectly, there will be gaps. I'd be hesitant using oem nuts long term.

By the way I'm running the same wheels and offsets. I'm lowered slightly aswell but I rarely rub, only on massive dips. So it can be done, it just depends how much you're lowered and the condition of the roads around your area.

Yep if the bore has a tapered seat the bottom seat of the nut should match and the OEM nuts have a bullnose so they will not seat , so expect wheels to fall off some time soon! Should be fun though wondering what the vibrations are just before the sharp reduction in ride height as one is over taken by a solitary wheel!


Maybe I am just to old now!

My car with 8 on front with 225,s and 9 on rear with 255, the offsets are high , can't remember the numbers nor the tyre aspect ratio of the tyres , to grumpy to look at the moment !

Yeah - yours appear to fit the car. Maybe the ~55 offset version I seem to remember them making.

I believe the fashion is to make the car look wrong/broken. And then it soon will be!

I think the PF01 that CHIPPO got are ET60 in the rear and 50 up front, perfect fitment if you don't want to touch the arches

Fuck the arches - it's about the centre-point steering axis if you want to drive straight/brake straight on a bumpy road.

But I believe that is no longer fashionable either.


But thanks for the confirmation - I'd conflated Enkei's confusing nomenclature. The PF01 is the correct wheel for S2000s and 86s

Coincidentally, also two numbers that add up to Chipstick's age.

Stnadard wheel nuts are fine
Fine if you enjoy Russian Roulette, that is.

Enkeis require a tapered nut. A bevel in a taper may crack the wheel/come undone, etc.
Thank you Nick. Have ordered correct wheel nuts now. Was under the impression OEM were conic, certainly didn't look rounded, but I guess they were 11 years old FYI no issues over the last 20k miles !
