Will a 45mm offset do the trick???

[Brookzee]

Hey, sorry if this is a noob question....

I have a 2007 Mazda 3, and i know that the stock offset is +50 or 53mm or something around there and im rocking 16" stock wheels currently, and my question is, will a wheel with a 45mm and/or 48mm offset fit. (looking to get some chrome 18" with low profile tires)

Thanks guys

Depends on the width of the rim/tires you choose...

There are TONNES of threads on "will it fit" around here. Search will find them for you.....

FWIW, I am running 225/45R17 in 17"x8" et45 rims on my sedan with no issues. Keeping in mind that my car is not lowered,

i think you should be fine, and stock offset is +52.5

im running volk re30 replica's that are 18x8 with a +45 offset, lowered on prokits and i have no rubbing

ok thanks im thinking that im going to get some fast wheels tarantula's and they are 18x7.5 and 5x114.3mm with a 48mm offset, now b/c they are a 7.5 width does that mean that my tires should be 215 or 225 wide?? thx.

Either should work. Check the tire manufacturer's web site for fitment recommendations. Or just have a chat with one of the sponsors like SimplyTire, Tires23 or Exclusive....
