The Miata came out in as a 1990 model, if you bought that car when it was 9 yrs old the Miata had been out for 7 yrs.

Your wheels should be 15" stock. Check the 2nd gen section, they have a scan of all the brochures as a sticky.

90-05 Miatas are only 4 lug, not sure about the '06.

Something for all of you guys to think about, Dealerships will mix and match parts on car just to put together something uneek, I've been there, seen it, and done it. More info, on my RX4, I put on front and rear 4 lug supension from a 86, then got the parts from a 88 with 5 lug. 3hours later I have changed over replacing the complet spindle and brake assy on all four corners. So the point is how fare will a dealer go, keep in mind this may or not be the case

I am posting a picture from the book rx-7 by brian long.Look close it is a turbo convertable. It has been called by some " the must have book for rx-7 owners" that want to know as much about there cars as possible. I bought this book in search of the facts of second generation rx7 cars. I have also contacted mazda concerning some questions... If you look in this book you will find one statment ( page 116 under the subheading european update) that the uk or europe sold turbo soft tops, targa or cabriolets. Somthing I was told by a raceing beat sales repersenitive when purchasing products for a convertable rx7 is that the owner drives a japan model turbo convertable rx7. Viset racing beat and click on hte picture gallery you will see the car it is white. It has been my understanding that it was only the usa that did not sell turbo convertable models...
I admit I do not know everything... I even screwed up by posting the 5 lug thing. I learn from my mistakes thanks to you guys but I am not totaly wrong. One purpose of this site is to help othersto learn and have fun with there cars. I hope to contribute to that. I will be looking at this thread however, I am finished with the lug issue. I am humble in that I posted a picture of the five lug tire. Hopfully it was rewarding to the person who asked for it. I ask why didnt you bet on it? Oh well. later


Quick Reply: My car went through the assembly line with the wrong spare tire. Its a 5 lug
