    Anything is possible,,, just how far do you want to go to fit them?

      would you not need to fit RS2 hubs, also? for the wheel bolt spacing?
      Honda CBR 1100XX Blackbird Turbo....undergoing major changes.....
      S2 Coupe... bit easier off the line...
      '03 ZX12-R daily hack.... lots of nice bolt ons...

        Yes, RS2 hubs are required for genuine Porsche alloys as they're 5x130mm PCD, offset might be an issue too.

        Replicas would fit as long as they were 5x112mm PCD ET35 or so. Check with those running 18s with 245 rubber on what offset/spacers they're running.

        Don't see 265s working and it's expensive and labourious to fit RS2 hubs, brakes, drive shafts etc. etc. There's a write-up on this that was unearthed recently IIRC. Many cheaper ways to get Porsche brakes on to an S2!

        Best bet is to get a good set of 18" replicas with 245 wide rubber and the correct offset. However, even then you might have issues with rubbing on either the track rod ends or whel arches, especailly with a 60mm drop.

          Just grab a set of H+R hub adapters and fit them on your S2 and then fit any porker rim, clearance is another issue. Coxy s got some 18 s on his lowered RS2 in the night time posting from er last night, just typing that last sentence has made me want to look at those pics again. (pm me ive got a good contact for the porsche h+r adapters)
