Maybe the center bore is different?

if it was, the wheels wouldnt fit all the way on. self-centering lug nuts are a must though if there is no hubcentric ring.

For the person wondering about the offset, IIRC, my factory offset was around 40 or 45mm.

Dave is correct.

Grimace and I swapped wheels and my Miata wheels did the same thing for him. The wheel would not sit on the hub properly.

I'm quite sure they're not fitting all the way on. The bolts get tight and the installer gets the illusion of a wheel that is installed properly.

your right i found out the center bore is different so i just went to home depot and put some spacers on there and it rides fine now. and personally i like it better with the miata rims rather than the integra. i'll post pics up.

Whoa. Old school Miata wheels. I figured you'd have some new ones. Not bad looking.

Way lighter.

I still like it though.
