North American Mazda 3's do they alll use the exact same fittings(metric/imperial)?

Just wanting to know if all Mazda 3's use the exact same bolt,srews fasteners(metric/imperial) wether it be one sold in the USA or in Canada ?

i.e: the lugnuts?? /brake caliper bolts??


Thanks in advanced

I would think that economies of scale would encourage them to use the same screws, bolts/nuts and fasteners world wide. But then they also use different engines in different countries for the exact same make and model year, too, so...
(dunno)

It's all ...er...Metric

 

[coolrahool]

It's all imperial

GOFAST how are u certain not one bolt or screw is metric? seems odd anyone else confirm this?,im particularly curious about the lugnuts and brake components

Sorry about that, I meant metric...every bolt and nut is metric...

I can tell you that the brakes and lug nuts especially are not imperial...

Have I taken every bolt off of my car? No. However, every single nut and bolt I have taken off of it, have all been metric.
