Default motegi dpk 18"

I know that the wheels on the 2k are staggered, and going no staggered will hinder handling.
I have a set of motegi dpk 18" rims in Hyper Black, with almost brand new khumo ecstas on them. I would love to try to get these on my 2000 that Iwill be picking up this week.
I am taking them off my rsx-s. I was told this is the place to ask, and someone will give me a solid answer, and I might get some options or opinions, which I would appreciate.

18" x 8
they are the same bolt pattern 5x4.5
with an offset of +40mm
and a back spacing of 5.6785




thanks guys

You can make them fit if you really want. The front will need the fenders rolled at a minimum, possibly have to run a 215/40 tire or -1.0 camber depending if you lower the car.

What size tires are on them? At the very least I'm guessing you need new tires, typical set up is 225/40, 255/35.

My opinion is sell them to a RSX owner and start over. I'd look for something lighter, staggered, wider width in the rear (9.0"), and better offsets for a S2K.

I hate the idea of selling them, cause I know I will get rapped on the price, especially sine one of them has a nasty curb scuff on it (worst parallel parker ever). But, it looks like that is what's gonna happen, cause IO am leasing the 2000, so the mods I do to it will be very minimal.

but, thanks for the input. Again, any other insight or opinions would be awesome

Cheap, heavy, skinny, ugly, non-staggered, ricey, etc etc etc. Please please please don't put them on an S2000.
