    My guess would be the same as the datsuns? 4 x 114.3 but not 1000% sure.

    yea 1000% wrong

    R100, RX-2, RX-3, RX-4, older 929s, RWD 323s, RWD 626s and Series 1/2 RX-7 use a 4x110 bolt pattern. so pretty much you can use wheels from those cars unless you want to go aftermarket. the closest thing is ford's 4x108 bolt pattern, like on foxbody mustangs. but its not even close enough to make work.

    I knew the 80's rx7's were 4 x 114 so I guess I figured those older ones were the same. Sorry for the bad info.

    I have 3 4X110 wheels you could come get for like $20, but the 4th one is my spare.

    Stock FB wheels, 13 by 5

    4x108 redrilled to 110 with shank style lug nuts (old cragers, etc. and toyota mag style lug nuts..) not saying its the safest route, but they have held up for me so far. only problem you will have is that the offset even on a foxbody is typically too positive for a mazda (atleast with mine, 15x7 35 offset, i still needed a small spacer up front.)
