Fitment & Compatibility
Confirm the MX-5 Miata production year and trim, including the separate 2015 entries. Compare the original hub register and lug pattern with the hats before installing the conversion brackets. Follow the instructions to establish rotor position and caliper centering. The wheel must clear the full template at its barrel and spokes; a nominal 17-inch diameter alone is insufficient. Route the included hoses without strain through steering travel and verify balance with the rear brake system.
Match the individual year, model, submodel and equipment conditions in the fitment table below.
