My brother has some steelies back from when he had a BMW 318 and I'm wondering whether these will fit the Mazda 3. They are 15" so I know they won't fit the GT, but will they fit the GS or GX?

I need to free up some space in the garage before I can get my winter tires.

Tnx

do a test fit... if they clear the break calipers they should be fine.

i think the the bmw is a 120mm bolt center and our mazdas are 114.3. a quick measurement on that first would be a good place to start.

Thanks guys. Keep the tips coming.

I have a GT so I know it won't fit. I will try measuring the bolts.

Yup all BMW's have the 5 x 120 bolt pattern so it won't fit.
