Mazda MX-5 Miata NA wheel fitment

The NA commonly moves from its original 14-inch wheels to lightweight 15-inch wheels. The narrower body needs more attention to arch clearance than the NB when fitting wider wheels and tyres.

4x100 bolt pattern · 54.1 mm centre bore · Stock wheels: 14 × 5.5, 14 × 6, 15 × 6 inch · Stock tyres: 185/60 R14, 195/50 R15

Popular community setups

Starting points for a build. Read the notes with each setup, especially if your car is lowered or has different brakes.

15-inch road setup

Front and rear
15 × 7 inch, ET35 · 205/50 R15

One of Good-Win Racing’s common NA/NB sizes, paired with 205/50 tyres. Check clearance at full steering lock and suspension compression if lowered.

15-inch wider road and track setup

Front and rear
15 × 8 inch, ET25 · 205/50 R15

Good-Win specifies at least about 1.2 degrees of negative camber and a light arch roll on an NA with 205/50 tyres. This is not an unmodified-arch recommendation.

Width and offset guidance

Offset range

Check the exact setup

There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.

Common width limit

Measure before ordering

A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.

These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.

Clearance notes

  • The workshop torque reference gives 89–117 Nm for wheel nuts. A single value is omitted because the published specification is a range.
  • Use M12x1.5 nuts with the correct conical seat for the wheel. A larger aftermarket centre bore needs an appropriate locating ring.
  • At 15x8 ET25, Good-Win distinguishes the NA’s arch-roll requirement from the more accommodating NB body. Wide tyre shoulders and lowering further affect clearance.
  • Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.

205/50 R15 is a documented choice for 15x7 and 15x8 wheels, subject to the tyre maker’s permitted rim widths and the arch checks above.
