The 2001 Honda S2000 uses a 5-lug bolt pattern with a 114.3 mm bolt circle (often written as 5x114.3). In inches, that’s commonly referred to as 5x4.5 inches. The wheel hub bore is 64.1 mm. This article explains the spec and what it means for wheels and aftermarket options.
Bolt pattern specifics
Below are the core specs to confirm before purchasing wheels or adapters.
- Bolt pattern: 5 bolts on a 114.3 mm circle (5x114.3).
- Center bore: 64.1 mm (hub bore size).
- Lug thread size: typically M12x1.5 for Honda wheels (lugs and studs), though wheel studs can vary by hub accessories.
- Notes: The S2000 is generally hub-centric; aftermarket wheels may require hub-centric rings for perfect alignment if bore differs.
With these specs in mind, you can determine wheel fitment and compatibility for aftermarket rims or wheel adapters. The key is ensuring the hole pattern matches the hub and the center bore allows proper centering.
Related considerations for wheel fitment
Other important factors include wheel offset (ET), rim width, and brake clearance. The S2000 uses a relatively low center of gravity and relatively large brakes for its class, so some aftermarket wheels require careful checking for clearance with calipers and brake ducts.
In practice, many aftermarket wheels offered for 5x114.3 are compatible, but some designs need spacers or caliper modifications. Consumers should reference a fitment guide or consult a wheel professional when in doubt.
Summary
The bolt pattern for the 2001 Honda S2000 is 5x114.3 mm, with a center bore of 64.1 mm and typical lug nut specifications of M12x1.5. This combination defines wheel compatibility and guides aftermarket choices, with attention also to offset, width, and caliper clearance.
