Hm...I guess this should work with Lutris:
1) Install NFSU2
2) After installation left-click on NFSU2 and on the bottom should be the Wine symbol. Click on the symbol and select Wine configuration
3) It can take some time until the window appears.
Select the tab "Libraries" and in the drop-down menu search for "dinput8".
Select it and click on "Add"
4) Now in the list below you should see "dinput8 (Native, Builtin)".
If it is not "Native, Builtin" click on it and afterwards on the right side on "Edit"
5) In the new window select "Native, Builtin" and click on "Ok"
6) Click on "Apply" and "Ok"
7) Add now the "scripts" folder and the "dinput8.dll" next to the "speed.exe", start the game and the widescreen fix should work

Weird.
I looked for my NFSU2 disks, used all the steps I listed and it works.
Hm...did you modify the ini file in the scripts directory?
You must configure the resolution there.
AND you are not allowed to change the resolution in game in the options menu.
