Unhappy Will it Fit ?

Hey guys, I had a question for you.

I was interested in buying a set of rims for my 2000 S2K.. and I just wanted to know if It will fit...

The guy Is asking 500$ for 4X brand new XXR wheels model 519 black/machined/red. 17X7, offset 40, 5X100/5X114.3...

Just wanted to know if it's gonna fit because the offset is the same in the front & back...

And will those rim's be nice on a Silverstone S2k ?

Thanks in advance !

A 7" wheel in the rear is a downgrade, don't do it. I'm not feeling those wheels at all, but you are the one who has to like them.

Much better choice. I think standard fitment is 7.5" +48 front, 8.5" +48 rear. There are also some more aggressive fitments available if you want concave spokes all around.

OEM AP2 wheels or something with the similar sizing. OEM AP2 is 17x7.0 et+55 17x8.5 et+65. those wheels will be more narrow than factory by 1.5" in the rear. Offsets will also push the wheels out towards the fenders more, which is not necessarily bad, but the sizing in itself is bad.
