S2K have a staggered setup, I honestly don't know why anyone would want a staggered setup other than the Porsche guys but whatever. The bolt patterns are the same so, at least they will mount up.

To the OP, please post pics, and find out how wide they are, and get the offset...then we can help.

ya those looks like gts but not sure.
i think i have to meet the seller and check it out myself.
but i'm just scared that s2k fitment rims will be okay on my 8.
i believe it's gonna be okay but
i think the front is sth like 18x7.5. i just don't want some rims smaller than stocker.
hope somebody here can figure out what kind of rims is that and rim size setting for s2k zzz

^Agreed. haha

dsire, look for something else. You will regret getting a 7.5 especially on a staggered fitment. Stick the stock size or better, I personally like a 18x9 or 9.5 but really wouldn't mind a 18x10 all the way around.

Staggered fitment means having size different width rims front to back. Like running 18x8's up front and 18x9.5 in the rear, just an example. Then you run into the problem of not being able to rotate your wheels because of the different sized tires/wheels.
