    Watanabe Lug Nut Choice

    Actually, the Watanabe nuts have a sort of floating seat. They are more beneficial if you have magnesium wheels.

    The only other similar lugnuts I found in Miata thread and pitch were Toyota TRD lugnuts.

    I had those same wheels. Why do you need a 5mm spacer?

    The previous owner had an NA6 and so the inner lip isn't machined for the NA8 brakes so have spacers to clear the brakes

    Doesn’t matter. The caliper are the same, the brackets rotors and pads are different. I had 1.8 brakes on my NA6, no issues.
