Miata Wheels and LSD can the be put on a FC3S

If you find a Miata that is junked out and has a lsd and has nice 4 Lug wheels will those parts fit on a FC3S. I am trying to find a LSD for a NA RX-7 and i can't seem to find a GXL LSD that is cheap and i really don't want to buy some nice after market wheels for a big amount of money i would rather get some miata owners nice wheels and LSD so i can get drifting.

Miata wheels are 4 x 100mm bolt pattern - same for most Hondas.
They will NOT fit an FC; the FC 4-bolt pattern is 4 x 114.3mm.

How about the LSD in a S5? Does it work?

Someone who knows for sure please.

From what ive read from SEARCHING you can take the actually miata lsd and install it in the n/a fc's diff housing like so:

all fc diffs are interchangeable , but n/a and tii diffs cant be swapped into each others housings cause theyre different sizes(but there is no reason to do this anyway)

ALso before you ask, im pretty sure a fd diff can be swappe dinto a tii diff housing as well.

not quite as simple as you make it sound but the short answer is, yes it can be done.
