    Question about Mazda Miata fitment wheels

    I'm pretty sure I already know they answer to this, but I just want to double check.

    Is it correct that Mazda Miata's have the same fitment as the E30? Does this mean I can look for wheels for a Mazda Miata on TIreRack and they will fit the E30? I have no issues using spacers, so offset is not a problem.

    1995 miatas are 4x100 but have a different center bore, you could possibly use some centering rings and spacers to make it work.

      miata center bore is 54.1mm, so they arent a direct fit.

        What is the E30's center bore?

            So are spacers needed or just some hubcentric rings? [Newb at this stuff]

              miatas usually use ~et35 offset wheels, so spacers would be needed. I dont know if they make spacers iwth the correct hub stuff though..

                You can't put a rim on our cars that has a smaller center bore though. Hub centering rings are for rims that have a larger center bore than what we have.
