S2000...

Do S2000 cars run our wheels and vice versa? Are the bolt patterns identical? Offsets? Original rim sizes (15/16, 16/17, 17,18, etc.)?

My net goal is to see if I have more rim options by trying to buy from within the S2000 community. Thanks all.
 
I forgot what s2k wheel offsets are but the wheels are interchangeable. There's a few s2k with 02+ OEM NSX wheels rolling around.
 
From s2ki.com:

For reference, the OEM MY00-03 (AP1) wheel sizes and offsets are as follows:
Front:
16" x 6.5", +55 offset, 205 tire
Rear:
16" x 7.5", +65 offset, 225 tire

and the OEM MY04+ (AP2) wheels are as follows:
Front:
17" x 7.0", +55 offset, 215 tire
Rear:
17" x 8.5", +65 offset, 245 tire (255 on the S2000 CR)

NSX OEM rims have the following offsets and bore sizes.
Offset (1991 - 2001)55 mm front, 60 mm rear
Offset (2002 - 2005)55 mm front, 56 mm rear
Center bore (all years)70(.1) mm front, 64(.1) mm rear

This thread goes into the S2000 stock rim center bore size and centering rings for aftermarket rims...

The problem you are most likely to run into is brake caliper clearance, even with OEM brake calipers. This is why Tire Rack offers such a small selection of rims for the NSX. The rims they offer have a spoke design that will clear the factory calipers. Other rims may require spacers to clear the calipers which will alter the offset. This alteration in the offset must be taken into consideration to avoid rubbing or worse.
 
No doubt asked before, but the answer appears elusive to my search...wheelset...

I put a rear 91 NSX set on our S2000 temporarily in order to get some tire work done.
 
From what I've seen are the aftermarket wheels that typically go on the S2000 either very conservative offsets or are the wrong width. Sometimes when I see a sale for a set of 4 on the S2000 forums, one pair of the set will work well on the NSX, the other pair is generally is less than ideal.
Also note that most S2000s have staggered widths but not staggered diameters. They usually go 17/17 and 18/18 verses the NSX 17/18 and 18/19.

Here's a good thread to check out too:
