2010 Wheel Specs Help

[E-POTS]

I got a 2010 Mazda 3 Sport GT.

after alittle searching i learned that the bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3, but that's pretty much all i know.

I need help with the following:
rim size = 17 x ?? (stock 205/50R17 tires)
rim offset ??
rim weigh ??
tire weight ??

I want to know my stock values cuz i'm thinking about (not 100% sure yet) up-sizing to 225/40R18 (2010 speed size), that way it doesn't raise or lower my car, or screw up the speed.
what would the rim size (18 x ??) and offset be for these tires?

And i know for the winter season I'll need 205/55R16.
rim size and offset for these 16s?

Thanks in advance.

When you go shop for a winter tire.... 205/55/16 is all you need to know :) and you already know the bolt pattern 5x114.3
I don't know much either but I bought winter tires for last season and that's all I needed to know spec wise.

you'll have to know what the bore size of the hub is (where the wheel sits around the studs, for many aftermarket rims you'll have to use a centering hub to fill in the gap. As far as I know there is no difference in the sizing of the 04-09 wheels and 10 wheels they should all be interchangable except for the 15" gx wheels since they won't clear the calipers on other trim levels
