S2 wheel offsets

[alan.bennett]

I've got an early S2, and am wanting to up the fronts to 6.5s with 195 rubber.
unfortunately I really don't like the look of the lotus sport OZ wheels.
does anyone know the actual offset and PCD of the K-series engined S2s (and also what the different offset on the rear of the exige is - ie could exige wheels be fitted with a hup spacer?)

I've been trawling the internet for this info, but can't find it!

sector 111 in the US have quite a few wheels for the 111R etc, but noone seems to do any for the basic S2.

Would eliseparts's hubcentric adaptors work with the S2, of is the offset of the s2 not low enough for a 25mm adaptor.

hmmmm

cheers, guys

PCD: 4x100
Center bore: 56.6

Front ET31
Rear ET18

(Aka.. Vauxhall Nova/Corsa PCD and center bore )

Yes. Fronts are the same, but Toyota Elises use ET38 for their rear wheels, so you could use a 20mm spacer that bolts to the hub and then bolt the wheel to that.

SCC spacers (www.spurverbreiterung.de/frame.php?lan=uk) are top stuff.

Bye, Arno.

many thanks!!!!

that opens up a whole stack of aftermarket wheels at a fraction of the price of the lotus sport ones! - and looking better too!(IMHO!!).

Rimstock seem to make a couple of very light BTTC spec rims (under team dynamics brand) which should fit!

only decision left is whether to brave AO48s in Glasgow, - the city of standing water!

cheers

Why don't you run 2 sets of wheels? Standard tyres on old rims during inter and 048's for summer and track.
