Are Gen-1 wheels and Gen-2 wheels interchangeable???? Seems I read they changed the wheel stud diameter somewhere along the line....

I'm missing my S-lites and wonder if I can swap wheels 'teen my 02 and my 07.

Asking b4 I jack 'em both up and try....

 

I don't think so. I had Panasports on my 04 and 06. Went to put them on the R-56 and the lug nuts would not go through the wheel. R-56 uses a 14mm lug and the "old" cars use a 12mm one. The hole in the wheel was not big enough for the 14mm lugs.

Also, the new 'S' uses JCW brakes and the calipers are wider, so, after I bought the adapter studs to go from 14 to 12 mm, the wheels still would not fit the front without 5mm spacers to let the back side of the spokes clear the caliper. The rears worked fine as that's the same caliper as before.

I'm thinkin' you will have to take an old wheel and do trial and error.

Good luck.

 

All of the factory wheels are interchangeable, at least as far as bolt-hole diameter goes. All of the holes on the factory wheels are ~16mm, so they'll work with either the old 12mm bolts or the new 14mm ones.

The new standard brakes on the 'S' are larger, so there are some 15" factory wheels that won't clear them, but I imagine all the 16" and 17" factory wheels would be fine.
