Will Mazda MX-5 ND Wheels Fit a Mazda 3?

Side-by-side specs

From our Mazda MX-5 ND and Mazda 3 fitment guides. Bolt pattern and centre bore are checked against at least two independent references.

Will Mazda MX-5 ND wheels fit a Mazda 3?

No. Mazda MX-5 ND wheels are drilled 4x100 and the Mazda 3 hub is 5x114.3, so they do not bolt on. Re-drilling a wheel for a different pattern is not safe, and wobble bolts or adapters add width and load that the hub was not designed for.

Before you swap wheels

• Fit one wheel first and turn the steering lock to lock to check the inner edge against the suspension and the outer edge against the fender.
• Check that the spokes clear the brake caliper by at least 3 mm.
• Keep the overall tyre diameter within about 3% of factory so the speedometer and stability systems read correctly.
• Check that the load rating of the wheel covers the heavier car; wheels from a lighter model may be rated too low.
• Torque the lug nuts or bolts to the value for the car you are fitting them to.

Compare any two wheel sizes with our offset and backspacing calculator. If the swap does not work, we forge wheels to the exact bolt pattern, bore and offset of your car from $220 per wheel; ask for a quote.
