Buying new rims

[MAZ3]

Hey mazdude's:

Im MAZ3 newbie in this forum from the island of Puerto Rico:

I have question, im planning on buying new set of 18 inch wheels for my 3 im running on white kosei 17 inch on 215/45/17 kumho tires.(stock suspension)
But the deal is that a friend of my sells Rota wheels here and i wanna get a set of 18 x 8.5 SVN (hyper black or flat black with red lip), but i wanna know if they will fit my M3? Any details on this. Also i know my car is 5x114.3 but not sure if a wheel 18 x 8.5 , bolt pattern 5 x 114.3 , offset+48 really gonna fit.

Here is a link so you guys can check the wheels fitment and let me know.

I think yours is 18x7.5...

8.5 is too 1 inch too wide... The rims will definitely stick out even at +48.

8.5 is pushing it. 8 is doable though. Expect to have to roll your fenders.

Finally what do you guys will go for 18x8 for better ride with any issue??

I'm on 18x8 and besides the stiffer ride, there aren't any issues, no rubbing at all.
