Default Enkei rpf1s



So I’m planning on buying some new wheels for my 2005 S2000 my buddies friend is selling Enkei RpF1s off his Subaru with these specs 18x7.5 225/40/18 all around. The big question is will they fit, I have my car lowered approximately an inch a little more give or take .

To the best of my knowledge all modern Subarus are a 5x100 stud pattern, while the S2000 is 5x114.3, so they won't even bolt up to your hubs.

They could be 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern but I wouldn't get them regardless. I'd suggest doing more research but a non-staggered fitment with narrow width is not ideal. Minimum wheel width I would consider for the rear is 8.5", 9"+ would be better.

This. 7.5 is to narrow for the rear.

I wouldnt talk to someone that told me those wheels were "ideal" for an s2000.

225 is the width of my fronts. I know the original AP1 rears were 225, but they were actually "225" and had a contact patch that was as wide as a 245. Or so I heard.

Plus they are 18's so tires are more expensive. No point in getting these. Convex face on the rear doesn't look as good as the 9+" concave face anyway.
