    I think I might have asked this before, but can't find the thread and can't remember the answer. Do miata wheels fit on an E30? I know they have the same bolt pattern, but haven't seen any on the web with miata wheels.

    The Miata wheels have a very small centerbore (54.?mm) and the E30 centerbore is likely larger (I don't know for certain) so you will probably have to bore the center out a bit for it to fit.

    EDIT: Just read the E30 wheels have a 57.1mm centerbore so it wouldn't take much to bore it out a bit.

    Here is a thread that I started a long time ago about it: http://archive.grassrootsmotorsports.com/board/viewtopic.php?id=29750

    Does the E30 use a stud and lug nut combo, or a lug bolt? That may be something to consider.

    It's bolts. Or it are bolts. Or they are bolts. Oh, berkeley, you get the idea...

    lug bolts on the E30 and most BMWs (not sure on the newest models)
