Is there some difference (offset or material) with ZX-5 wheels and wheels for ZX-5 FS2?

Part numbers for ZX-5 wheels:
W5203W 4WD front white
W5204W rear white

and for ZX-5 FS2:
W5201W 4WD front white
W5202W rear white

At least the wheels look different from outer edge.

Does someone know does Yokomo 12mm hex wheels and JC 12mm hex wheels have offset difference to FS2 wheels?
As also Caster wheels..

Thanks!

No idea on other brands of wheels, but there is an offset difference between the std and the fs wheels - the std wheels make the car too wide on fs suspension.

What Col said, the offsets are different - they still fit on the hex, but if you use FS wheels on the ZX is narrows the rear track.

The difference is in the front wheels (flater faced wheel is the later one), I've measured and there is no difference at all with the rears.
They are slightly different stiffnesses so I'd not mix them across an axle but otherwise all is good with the rears.

If you want to get the best out of them use the older lipped wheel when you want more wheel flex, the newer flat faced rear wheel when you need them really stiff.
