I am a Miata owner shopping for winter wheels. I found some 1995 Escort GT wheels on craigslist. Can anyone tell me what the offset is? Picture is attached.

My current 16-inch Miata wheels are 4x100 with a 40mm offset.

The Escort wheels are 15-inch, 4x100... but I don't know the offset.

I think they're a 45 offset. Depending on tire size, you'll be a little close to your struts, but it should fit.

According to this site the both have a "High" offset but they don't get more specific

yeah, I found that site too. I'd like to know for sure before I buy them. I have the Miata people working on it too...

Thanks for any info you can provide!

they will fit perfectly...

i run 16" miata 5 spoke wheels on my 95 EGT and they fit 100%.

yeah, there is a local Miata owner with EGT wheels. I saw the car in a parking lot, and did not see spacers on it, so I believe you should be just fine.

i run 205 50 15 on my EGT wheels, 205 45 16 on the miata wheels, and they have essentially the same clearance all around.

Are those Miata rims on the EGT in your sig? (RIms on the back of the car on the right picture)

Still looking for some 15" Escort wheels. If anyone in the Twin Cities has some, please get hold of me.

Thanks! I am looking to buy right away. Three-spoke not preferred.

to answer defiler a few months late - yes, that is correct.
