Winter Rims for a 2010 Speed 3

[Kinn]

I'm thinking of grabbing a set of 17" Mazda 3 OEM rims to use in the winter on my 2010 MS3. Can I just bolt them on or do I need to worry about sizing at all? Are the they the same regardless of year or are they different in offset and such?

Advice is very appreciated

Merci!

I believe they'll bolt right on.

The 17" GT rims from the 3, 5 and 6 will all clear the calliper on the ms3

Thanks! what about 16" - i know it will look awful...but they are for winter dammit!

16" won't clear the calipers

16" won't clear the calipers

That's true. I know on a stock 04-09 GT 15's for winter won't clear the rear calipers.

I'm assuming with MS3's with bigger brakes would only be able to fit 17s at the very least

Ok...thanks guys!!!....well, now to find some 17"s for the winter!

I run 16 inch steelies in the winter on my MS3. Not all 16's fit mind you. I've read that the ones that do not fit have a bead around the inner edge of the rim that comes in contact with the caliper. My 16s fit, but barely :D

Assuming that the 2010 MS3 has the same rotors and calipers as the 2007-09 MS3, 16" OEM Mazda3 rims will fit

I've had 16" steelies on the MS3 before...NOT ALL 16" wheels will fit tho. Some steelies, depending on the shape of the actual wheel, will not clear the brakes. So before you commit, I'd do a test fit. I only found out after they were installed that I had about 1/4 of inch of clearance, if even that much.

I have the 16" oem rims along with winter rubbers (mint condition) for sale. Will these fit on his 2010 ms3 can anyone confirm this?

Check bolt pattern. Varies from car and model.

Check bolt pattern. Varies from car and model.

bolt pattern is the same across all Mazda3's (1st gen and 2nd gen) - 5x114.3

At the risk of being totally annoying...will as MZ6 wheels fit the 3's?
