18's from a non S not fitting newer S

Hi, I have a problem that I didn't expect. I have for sale a set of 18 inch Kineses rims that were previously on my 97. I had a buddy that wanted to buy them. We tried putting them on his car to see how it would look but we couldn't actually get it to sit properly in the hub. The center seems to be too tight to slide on to the hub/rotors.

Am I missing something here? I have swapped 17's, 18's and 19's between my 97 and other S's before with no problems. The only issue that I have encountered before are clearance with the brakes (solved by using spacers).

Are there different fitments on a base model and an S that I don't know of? We only tried to install the rears before we gave up. My Kinesis wheels are hub centric.

Thanks in advance
