14 Inch Steel Rims... Will they fit?

Hello All,

I am looking for a second set of tires and wheels to use on my 02 JCW for SCCA type events, I would like a smaller set than standard (17") and I found a set of 14" steelies from a miata/civic/integra I was curious if they would fit over the brakes and rotors on the JCW?

Or I would be interested in knowing what the minimum permissible size is..

Thanks!

So do you have the JCW brakes?

Smallest size is 16" for the JCW brakes.....a FEW 15's fit, but not all.
