Will ND Miata (2016+) factory wheels (4x100, 16x6.5 or 17x7 +45) fit a Mazda Miata NB (1999-2005 US model years)?

Q: Will ND Miata (2016+) factory wheels (4x100, 16x6.5 or 17x7 +45) fit a Mazda Miata NB (1999-2005 US model years)?

Yes, reportedly. Same story as the NA: the ND is 4x100 with a 54.1 mm bore like the NB, so its wheels bolt on. The ND's +45 offset is a little higher than the NB's factory +40, which tucks the wheel slightly further in. A Miata parts-vendor staffer says they have run ND wheels on an NA/NB and it looks awkward (high offset, tall tire). By our arithmetic a 205/45R17 is about 7% taller than the NB's 195/50R15, so use a lower-profile tire to keep the speedometer close. Brake clearance is not an issue with factory NB brakes (the ND wheel is made to clear larger ND calipers); check with big brake kits.

Short answer: Yes, reportedly. Reported

Yes, reportedly: Same story as the NA: the ND is 4x100 with a 54.1 mm bore like the NB, so its wheels bolt on.
