The bolt pattern is the same as the series 4, four lug wheels, but I am not sure about the offset. You would want a 35-40 ET/mm offset

Yeah, they are only 4 bolt though- so it obviously wouldn't fit any 5 bolt FC's.

Nope. Not even close.

The FC's 4 bolt pattern is 4x114.3

The Miata's bolt pattern is 4x100

You must do a 5-bolt conversion.

Some came in a 4 lug, some came in a 5. Depends on what trim level/options you got. Mine for example is a sport which came with power nothing except steering, no sunroof, no rear wiper, but does have the 5 lug 15" rims and 4 piston brakes up front.
