50 shades of silver
i would have the dealer put them on. would they? is it safe?
it is a 5 bolt, how do i get the guy to check if it is 114.3???
where are you buying these? use this, http://adaptitusa.com/boltpatternguide.aspx.
offset and caliper clearance is what you need to look at. but the way winter steelies are designed, its hard to say even with the offset.
just some guy selling his tires online....he says they were on a VW Jetta
looks like mine is 5X114.3 and his is 5X112....not sure though
they will not fit. VW jetta bolt pattern 5x112. we are 5x114.3
dang, how do i get him to check 100% does it say it on the tire?
ok....dang..it was a killer deal for those tires. thanks for the help!
you have to check on the rim. sometimes its stamped on and says 5x112. the fact this guy had it on his jetta, means it will not fit on your mazda.
so the tires would fit just need to get rims? i could handle that.
i would suggest 16x6 rims with 5x114.3 bolt pattern. look on the sponsor section on this forum for more help with offset and what not.
Tires will fit, you need new rims.
Bolt pattern is only one aspect apart from what is mentioned above. You also have to look at the hub size to ensure the wheel sits centered. Get hub centric wheels made for the Mazda and you are set.
