Default Miata rims on Civic,does it fit?

Does the mazda miata rims 4x100 hub match the civic/integra hubs? came across some 15x9 +38 offset Konig wide opens for a great deal in hawaii which is rare to buy rim and tire package brand new for $900, shipping alone is almost $200.Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Mahalo(thank you) for reading this.

I bought some miata rims after researching and listening to fools saying they would fit, but guess what they did not. They were stock oem ones.

Well that's what I have read. Stock will NOT fit. Aftermarket 4x100 are something else totally. But 9" wide rims? Really?

Which Civic? Some EX's, Si's, and the Del Sol VTEC had larger front brakes. The back or the spokes could scrape also though. I don't know where I'm going with this.

I just called a buddy of mine who had pre 2000 miata rims on his crx for years....he says they fit, however you have to bore out the center just a tad to get them on the hub...

Not really a huge deal, and usually miata rims you can get cheap. Just grab a dremel or whatever and shave off a little inside.

Before getting HX wheels I was looking into some Miata wheels, this site may contain some info on size/backspace of miata wheels and things that will fit miatas : http://www.miata.net/faq/wheel_weights.html

Make sure you know what backspacing your civic needs first, can do that here:

They DO fit, however, as the poster above me said, you have to bore out the center hole.
The hole in the Miata wheels are a bit smaller.

I would stick with a Honda wheel, something you know will fit without any work.

I don't know why they wouldn't, my VX rims fit with a rear disc swap

Something about spending money on wheels then haveing to hack them up to fit doest sound to appealing. Found this out when i was looking t=into the 14x7 rpf-1's that are intended for Miatas.

^ those Rpf-1's should of fit....aftermarket wheels (in 4x100) from miatas tend to work.
