Mazda Miata rims - right bolt pattern, but will they fit?

MShorten · Sep 8th, 2004, 03:48 PM

Looking for a set of 14" rims, found some from a Mazda Miata, the guy says they are the 4x100 bolt pattern. I have a 91 Nissan Sentra.

I've seen other posts about using other Nissan rims as long as they are 4x100, but wasn't too clear on 4x100 rims from other cars/manufacturers. Will any 4x100 rim fit as long as it's under 15 or 16" or do I have to worry about other things?

Thanks!
Regards,
Michael

Any 4x100 will fit, IF, the center is bored out to the right diameter to clear your wheel bearings, and if the offset is tolerable.

The dimensions are 14"x5.5" with a 45mm offset. A quick look at SE-R.net's tire guide site shows me that he ran this same type of wheel.

I'm thinking that 195/60 14 seems to be my best bang for the buck. I'm kinda curious why he had 15" tires on a 14" rim. Never heard of that before...

Thanks for the help!
