14" Miata rims.. Will they fit?

Post by FiReSTaRT »

I can get my hands on 14" Miata rims to mount my winter tires on'em. Will they be a direct fit for the MX-3?
By the way I used the search function and all I saw was info for the 15's and the 16's.. Logic dictates that the 14's should fit just fine, but I'd like to confirm.

Here's the additional info on the 2 sets that I'm considering..
1) Listed as 14x6, 4x100, 45mm offset (sounds perfect)
2) Listed as taken off a '93 Miata, 14x5.5
Any ideas?

I'm currently running 14" Miata steel wheels on my MX-3 right now, and they work perfectly.

The code on the wheels are slightly different (where my MX-3 code ended with "a", the miata code ended with "b" or something like that).

They have the same diameter, and width, but the miata wheels have holes that are different from the MX-3 wheels, near as I can tell that's the only difference.

Thanks for the info. Do you know which year Miata they came off? Does it even matter?

Good to hear you have what you want.

I don't remember what year Miata my rims came from, but I believe it had the pop-up headlights, so that should be an early '90s or so IIRC.
