← Mazda Miata NA (1990-1997)

Will ND Miata (2016+) factory wheels (4x100, 16x6.5 or 17x7 +45) fit a Mazda Miata NA (1990-1997)?

Q: Will ND Miata (2016+) factory wheels (4x100, 16x6.5 or 17x7 +45) fit a Mazda Miata NA (1990-1997)?

Yes, reportedly. ND wheels share the NA's 4x100 bolt pattern and +45 offset (Miata.net's wheel table lists both), and their 54.1 mm bore matches the Miata hub, so they bolt on. A Miata parts-vendor staffer on the Grassroots Motorsports forum says they have fitted ND wheels to an NA/NB and it works, but looks awkward: the offset is high and the ND tire is tall. By our arithmetic a 205/45R17 is about 7% taller than the NA's 185/60R14 (and a 195/50R16 about 4% taller), so the speedometer will read low unless you fit a lower-profile tire. ND wheels are sized to clear ND brakes, so stock NA brakes are not the problem; check spoke clearance with any aftermarket big brake kit.
