    OP, as these two members mentioned, unfortunately you will not be able to re-use those wheels on your Mazda3. The minimum size you need for the rims are 16", and the bolt pattern for the car is 5x114.3, not 5x100. You'll also need to keep in mind that the center bore for our cars is 67.1mm, so make sure the wheels you put on are bigger than that.

    lol I'm quite curious to the reasoning behind posting this in not only someone else's thread, but a thread based on a tire problem..
