If you have the stats of the wheel + tire of the S2000, then someone might be able to help. Without knowing that, I would say no. I would think the offsets are different.

for what its worth, I know that stock 3rd gen wheels fit the S2000. Many in japan use the 3rd gen wheels for track events

Just check the rear center bore, the S2000 has a much smaller center bore than the rx-7, but the fronts are fine.

cheers

I've seen an FD with S2000 wheels on it. I would guess that he had to open the center bores if they are too small as reported in Wael's post. The FD center bore is 67.1mm, just like an Eclipse.

I don't think the offset of s2000 wheel would set seven especially if you have a a modify caliper like bremboooo

What size wheels are these? I thought the S2000 wheels were less than 8" wide? How heavy are they?

I know the S2K wheels use a very high offset. Don't know how they will look on an FD without spacers.
