Standard fitment wire wheels for the S2 feature a “flat hub” or “easy clean hub”, with the earlier S1 & 1 1/2 featuring a “curly hub”. Please note there is no functional difference between the two centre styles and therefore either can be fitted to either models if originality is not desired.
Wheels which are larger than the standard size might not fit into the spare wheel compartment. When fitting a wider wheel option the rear bump stops MUST be removed and you may find that the clearance of the rear arches may be tighter on one side.
