Some Spec Miata wheels are ET20. Stock Miata wheels are about the same as ours, 38-45. You'd have to make sure you knew exactly what you were buying to not have problems. The alternative would indeed be to do an xD swap, but there are still some unknowns up front with the axles. Someone on the forums recently put an xD trans in a Gen2 Yaris and had a hell of a time getting the right shafts to mate from the xD differential to the Yaris hubs.

Gotcha. Yeah I'm looking at this conversion because the aftermarket on 4 lug wheels is small compared to 5 lug wheels. I've seen plenty of wheel styles that I like that would fit my car just fine except for being 5 lug. I haven't seen many 4 lug wheels in a style I like (reasonable sizes and offsets) that's really it. I'm not looking for performance gains, just looking to open up the aftermarket selection a bit. Thanks everyone, I guess it's too much of a pain for what it's worth. I was hoping someone here has done it before, thinking I could do it for reasonable cost and effort. No worries guys, I'll just keep looking for 4 lug wheels that I'll like.
