Will Miata OEM wheels fit my '83 GS?
I am selling my FB and a friend with a Miata wants to switch wheels before I sell it. I was wondering if the early OEM Miata wheels will fit my FB without any rubbing or clearance issues. Thanks!

They are correct offset but they are the wrong bolt pattern. Just tryin to be a little more specific than the above said "no".

Try some Panasports.
While not as cheap as the Miata wheels,they look similar and are readily availible for the odd 110MM 1st gen lug pattern.

Hondas and Miatas have 4x100mm
GSL-SE and many many other cars use 4x4.5"

The 79-85 non-GSL-SE cars had 4x110mm

Never found another car with that bolt pattern, don't think I ever will.

LOL, might work in the back, on a drum brake setup. Never clear the front calipers though.
