No..not easy.

Why would you want Mazda wheels anyway ( )

Because they are very similar to the 4x114.3, you'd need custom hubs which are expensive.

Put simply, forget it.

Best bet would be look to convert to 5x114.3, so you can fit many wheels from bigger cars, like 200SX, skyline, late model 180sx, Commodore, Falcon etc.

That also involves a lot of thought, and replacement hubs. The rear is easy to convert, but the front is quite a bit harder.

It's so hard, that I've never seen it done. It might work for mazdas, because their hubs use bolts not nuts. But the offsets will change some 10 mm at least. This is 20mm to the track, this changes the forces put on the hub and bearings, which can only adversely affect their load capacity.

Spacers are not specifically illegal, but if a cop doesn't like the look of them then he'll defect you for them.

Unless you can get the hubs drilled out, "Let it go", I know these wheels are probably nice, but they are no good to you.

maybe you're better off trying to find out if the wheels are made as "blanks". Performance for example make most of their classic wheels as blanks and only drill them to order.
