Default Rims

Hey guys, I can get a set of these rims for super cheap. Was wondering if they will fit flush to the s2k? Or would there be any work needed to be done?
I know they are replicas. I dont really care though. just wondering if they'd fit or what i would need to do to make them fit! Thanks guys.

your answer is yes, but most people do non-staggard in 8.5 on ap2. if your not going to drive aggressive, autox, or track. why not. if you do, get use to them first.

This would be a downgrade from stock.

Those would make for a decent front wheel, not a good idea for the rear though.

Can someone explain to me why? Not familiar with all this offset business. Im not going to track it or anything just want to change the look up a bit.

Thanks for the replies!

well, the stock wheel sizes are 17x7.5 fronts and 17z8.5 rears. you are fitting a skinnier rim on the rear, which = less grip. but if its just for looks and you really dont intend on any form of aggressive driving then i dont see why not.

Could it be possible to swap the front and rears? I just want a flush look on the car.

I can get these for 200 for all four.. Im also dropped on eibach springs.

It makes no sense to decrease the performance of a car because "you can get all 4 for $200"

The S2000 deserves better, treat it with some respect.
