No two wheel hubs are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
The MX-5 runs across four generations: NA (1989–1997), NB (1998–2005), NC (2005–2015), and ND (2015–present). Generation is the single most important factor for wheel hub fitment, as each generation uses a different platform with different hub carriers, bearing sizes, and bolt patterns. Always tell the breaker which generation you have, not just the year.
These sit either side of the NB-to-NC generation boundary: the NB ran from 1998–2005 and the NC from 2005–2015, so they use entirely different platforms. A 2004 hub is NB and a 2006 hub is NC, and these are not the same part. Confirm the exact fitment with the breaker against your registration before ordering.
The MX-5 was offered with different engine sizes across its life — for example the NC generation included both 1.8 and 2.0 litre engines — and larger-engined variants sometimes carry bigger brakes which can affect hub dimensions. It is worth telling the breaker your engine size as well as your generation, as this can influence which hub is correct for your car. Confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
Yes — NS (nearside, left) and OS (offside, right) wheel hubs are handed and are not interchangeable. Always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker, as supplying the wrong side is a common and easily avoided mistake.
For the MX-5, trim level does not affect wheel hub fitment — an SE, Sport, or Icon hub from the same generation and engine size will interchange. You may find minor cosmetic differences around the hub area depending on the brake setup, but the hub itself is not trim-specific. Focus on matching generation and engine size rather than trim name when speaking to a breaker.
The NC generation does run from 2005 to 2015, but there were updates during this period that could affect brake and hub specifications, particularly around mid-generation revisions. Whether a hub from an early NC crosses to a late NC without issue is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assume. Give the breaker your full reg so they can check the exact application.
