Thread: Saturn/miata wheels

  1. #1

    Default Saturn/miata wheels

    I have a set of 14" steel wheels from a miata with good tires. A friend wants to know if they'll fit his 96' Saturn. I've tried to find out if they'll fit, it seems they come with a set of 15x6 wheels, so I think the miata wheel may be too skinny + the 14" may not fit over the brakes. Any ideas on where to search this info? I found one ad. on ebay that said it was a 4x100 bolt pattern, not sure if that's correct though. Thanks.

    Both share a 4x100 bolt pattern, but the Saturn hub is about 3mm too large for the 54.1mm centerbore on a Mazda wheel. (According to this site, FWIW.)

    "this site" is wrong about the Ford Escort wheels. The Escort wheels are not the same as the Focus wheels. Could they be wrong about others?

    Well if he's close by we try it, but i know the honda/miata seemed correct. I forgot to think about the hub size. He only has one bad tire, so i think he can buy a used tire and save these for someone else.

    I'll confirm that the Miata wheels will not fit the Saturn. Found this out when trying to use my spare on my wife's Saturn. 14" wheels should not be a problem as that is the size of the Saturn's spare tire.
