Mazda Miata Wheel Lugs

Many people who drive the Mazda MX-5 Miata roadster enjoy customizing their car. One easy option is to replace the factory rims of the convertible with something that expresses the owner’s taste. If youre thinking about new rims for your Mazda vehicle, you may want to pick up a matching set of wheel lugs, too.

Mazda uses lug nuts and wheel studs to mount the wheels onto the vehicle. The studs are long bolts that are connected to the hub of the axle. The wheel is positioned over the studs, and the lug nuts are threaded onto the studs to securely attach the wheel.

• Thread size and pitch: The lug nuts and the wheel studs on your Miata must have the same thread characteristics or they aren’t compatible. All Mazda Miata model years have lugs with 12x1.5 threads. The first number, 12, is the thread size. This is the diameter of the wheel stud in millimeters. The second number tells you that the threads are 1.5 millimeters apart.
• Seat type: The factory lug nuts on the Mazda MX-5 Miata have a conical acorn seat. The seat is the surface of the nut that meets the rim. The seat and the rim are engineered to fit together in a way that allows a secure wheel attachment. If you switch out your factory rims for an aftermarket option, the factory lugs may not be right for the new rims. Be sure to check the wheel specs.
• Length: If you want to use a hubcap that covers the lug nuts, you may want the short, “under-hub” style of lug. On the other hand, some rims have a design that makes extended lugs a good choice. You may need this longer length to be able to get a grip on the lug nuts to tighten or remove them.
• Wheel locks: If youre worried about your Mazda convertible rims being stolen, you can use locking lug nuts. Wheel locks can only be removed with a key that is specific to that set of locks. Since you only need one lock per wheel, these lug nuts are usually sold in packs of four with a matching key.
• Color and finish: You can find lug nuts for the Mazda MX-5 Miata in colors and finishes that match the factory parts or coordinate with your stylish new rims. Black, chrome, gunmetal, and bright colors are all available.

A bolt pattern is an expression of the number of lug nuts per wheel and how far apart the nuts are from each other. The Mazda MX-5 Miata has either four or five lug nuts on each wheel, depending on the model year. When they’re installed on the rim, the lug nuts form a circle with a diameter of either 100 or 114.3 millimeters. The bolt patterns for the Mazda Miata model years are the following:

• 1990 - 2004: 4x100.
• 2005: 4x100 or 5x114.3.
• 2006 - 2014: 5x114.3.
• 2015: 4x100 or 5x114.3.
• 2016 and forward: 4x100.
