will miata rims be a good fit for temp wheels?

i bought my car with some pos rage racing star 18" rims on it and for my first real mod im going to be doing suspension. if i buy a shocks/struts that drop my cars ride height any the rear end will be rubbing in the wheel well. i also do not like the size or look of my wheels any. i am planning on downsizing to some gram lights 17's which i think would work much better anyways.

so here is the question.
will stock mazda miata rims fit on my car for temporary wheels until i can afford the g-lights?

i would put stock fc rims back on the car but fc parts around here are fairly hard to find and i know how much it costs to ship wheels+tires.
i will be able to pawn the 18's>buy some new wheels>buy my suspension>buy the gram lights.

have you looked at the price of gram lights? pawning your rims now wont get you anywhere near what your wanting. unless you found a really good deal, youll only have enough for MAYBE two. BUT, thumbs up on the choice of rims
