I've never seen a complete list of the vehicles that have the same bolt pattern as the Honda 600 but I'll bet it is a very short list.  I do not believe there are any that will fit from newer Hondas  Some people have used the RX-7 13" factory aluminum wheels with 50 series tires so the tires will be the same height as the original 10' ones.  The Honda 600 bolt pattern is 4 x 110mm so there are not many options out there.  There are some 10" mags around but they are usually hard to find.  You will hear people say that using anything other than the original 10" tires will put too much stress on the wheel bearings and this could result in a lot of expensive damage.  I have to leave that discussion to the experts.  10" tires are available in several levels of quality, it just depends how much you are willing to pay.

I have been wondering the same thing because I'm not finding a huge selection of 10" tires. Tire Rack has 10" Kumho's for $46 a piece + shipping. Discount Tire (America's Tire) can get the 10" and install them for $66 a piece.

You might take a look at Mini Mania online. They have a few 10" tires listed.
Here is the link:

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html I found this one, but it doesn't have 10" if you want at the bottom type in the sizes to compare - it will give you the % increase or decrease...
Hope this helps,  If nothing else - maybe contact these guys and ask them if they would include 10"  in their tire size...

I used to have a set of mags that were 12" that fit Honda 600. I sold them to a friend who has a Toyota s800 2 cylinder car, same bolt pattern. Same bolt pattern as Mazda and if you get Mazda 13" wheels and use low profile tires you will be about the same height as the n600 tire.
If you search the archived messages you will see the bigger wheel question about once a month.
It might be the Mazda R100 that had 12" wheels.
