    Default Brake and wheel fitment

    A coworker has a 2005 Miata (automatic, tan interior) with one bad ten spoke wheel (16-inch) and four bad Hankook tires. As tires and wheels will likely be replaced at the same time, remaining with 16-inch wheels isn't necessarily a cost saver if 15-inch wheels fit over the brakes.

    Thus, the question is, "Do 15-inch wheels fit over the brakes on the 2005 Miata?"

    Thanks

    The answer is tricky "most" 15" wheels will work but there are a few that will not fit. Tell them to buy them from someone who knows Miatas.

    I have 15" rims on our 2002 LS.

    What the POS said. AFAIK all 15" miata wheels will fit any NA or NB miata. My '05 MSM has a set of '99 15" wheels for autocross. But there are a few aftermarket 15" wheels that wont clear the larger NB brakes.
