Default Fitment help

Hi guys

So i've done some searches before posting so please don't grill me for repeating what is probably already available - I just don't understand it and I have tried to understand it, but I really can't get my head around all these numbers and information etc that wheel manufactures come with. I need someone to spell it out to a complete rookie essentially

Anyway, I want to put some Rota Grid Drifts on my car and I have found some second hand I just don't know if they are the same as the ones that a website who sells them and specifies them for Honda s2000 fitment.

So this is a link to Rota's page with the alloys on - they have multiple mm specifications on them and hence why I am confused
My link

And these are the actual wheels I found hoping that they would fit an S2K
My link

I want them in 18" and to have as thinner tyre walls as possible - potentially stretched if needs be

Thank you all so much for any help / advice

You should do a little research on what all the numbers mean before searching for wheels so you get what you need. The wheels you want won't fit because they are the wrong bolt pattern (5x120) vs the s2k pattern which is 5x114. Read through this article which explains the numbers.

The biggest challenge with the s2000 is finding high enough offsets (et##) to not require lots of fender work. Hope this helps!

They don't really make a S2000 offset. You can run them but only if you are willing to do the fender work required. The best size available is probably 17 x 9" +42 although it looks like they make a 18 x 8.5" +44 also. The 18" will have a flat face:

The link you posted from gumtree takes me to wheels that have a 5x120 lug pattern which doesn't fit the s2000. You need 5x114. The fitment Nate suggested is correct.
