Corola rims and winter tires on my 3?

[KLUTZ]

Good evening all. Quick question which I haven't seen asked, but may have been at some point.
My Wife just called and told me her Father has a brand new set of Hankook's on a set of winter wheels from his now sold 2003 Corola. The tires are 185 65 15's and the bolt patern he says, looked the same as on my Mazda. I am not up at Wasaga Beach to check myself so I need to ask here. The 3 now has the regular All Season 195 65 15's on it. He never used these tires and wheels.
Will the tires work and will the bolt patern and wheel work with my 2008.5 Mazda3?

Thanks

Paul

I think the toyota's use a 5X100. The mazda's are 5X114.3

Mazda has 114.3x5-pattern 67.1 – central hole 52.5-offset.
Look on new wheels, there must be stamped size.
If pattern and hole the same offset must be no less 45-42.
Hankook is normal tire ,but if you will intending to buy new disks
It seems to me 185 is for 5,5J. Mazda’s minimal size disk is 6j.

2003 corolla rims will not fit on teh mazda 3 period.

Thanks for the information everyone. Something free is always nice, but I guess they "Have" to fit to be worthwhile.

Hey Paul,

Let me know if you want to trade them in for some Mazda wheels? Are yours in good shape?
