  • Miata wheel bolt pattern

    I'm pretty sure I know the answer but are 2002 Miata wheels 4x100?

    yup but if you are going to toss them on a festiva you need spacer's I'm using 8mm. And its a good idea to upgrade to lugs instead of studs

      Agree with Muscle. I have 1/4" spacers (12 bucks) on the rears for clearence issues. And You really need studs (20 bucks) put into the hubs so that the wheels stay centered on the hubs.

          Um yeah



          these are basically what you need so the rims aren't held on by 1 or 2 threads. Plus it makes changing the disc's & tires MUCH easier

              Here is a set of EMPI studs/nuts for a VW. You will need three sets for 15 studs. I did this, because I couldn't force myself to buy the fourth set just to get the one more stud that I needed! I use a chromed aftermarket lug bolt for the 16th one (it has more conical surface area than the stock ones, which you need for the aftermarket aluminum wheels).

                I was always lead to believe that Miata daisies were a direct fit over Aspire fixins, but have not tried it myself. If prefect fit is something you're looking for (and you've already done the Aspire swap) take a look at 4 bolt Kia rims. The ones I got from an 01 Rio wagon are dead on for hub hole fit, clearance over the calipers and back set so as not to touch the rear spring perch.

                  Hub bore for Aspire, Miata, Geo Prizm (Corolla), '91 to '96 Escort/Tracer and Kia Rio are all the same 54.1mm hubcentric fit.

                  Most of these stock wheel offsets will be compatible with Festiva/Aspire fitments if you watch your tire sizing.

                  Main area of concern is usually the rear spring perch on Festiva spec rear shocks. Aspire spec shocks give more room.
