Will these fit my Mazda 3???

[Vgandoza]

Will this size 225/40/18 5 x 114.3 fit my Mazda 3 I'm buying them of a friend it came out an rsx just wanna make sure

[Default User]

The tire size is right for 18" rims on Mazda fitment
however, The RSX has a smaller centre bore.

So if they are OEM Rims - then no.
If it is aftermarket rims - then maybe (provided the rims have a universal centre bore of 70-73mm)

[Vgandoza]

They are aftermarket I don't wanna buy it and then it doesn't fit but according to that spec will it fit the 2010 Mazda 3

There's more to it than just bolt patterns.

Mazda 3 requires
5x 114.3 bolt pattern
38-48 offset
67.1mm center bore

Tire size also requires no more than a 3% variance in overall diameter compared to OEM

195-55-16

215-45-17
225-40-18


I'd be concerned with the centre bore. But can be easily fixed with a 3mm spacer

[Vgandoza]

Thanks a lot bro I appreciate the help any good places to get the spacers. Do I gotta get it all around?

Question for you! Is Mazda 6 same as Mazda 3? Need to know this before I purchase rims from a broken down Mazda 6.

Thanks,

Reymando

[PR3Y11]

^ same, but you have a little more clearance compared to the 3, which means you can fit up to 18x10 ;)

1) where can i buy cheap spacers?
-tony at gofortires or kes at exclusive wheel and tire carry universal 5mm spacers for $10 if i recall correctly

2) will mazda6 rims fit mazda3?
-all mazda rims, with the exception of b2000, fc rx7 and older, fb miata and older, as well as 01 proteges and older, are interchangeable

[schmat66]

they sell 5mm spacers for 10 each at exclusive :)

[PR3Y11]

i run 6 rims for winter =]

[Vgandoza]

Btw can I run 215/40/18? And will it affect my speedo?

[mazdageorge]

215 on a 40 profile tire is too narrow IMO.

[Vgandoza]

Any other opinions?

I am just worried about the width of the tire.

[Reymando]

LOL, I just got the specs for my Mazda 3. I'm all good now.

[PR3Y11]

You can run 205 on a 40 if you really wanted to. Depends in the width of your rims. I believe 205 can be stretched as wide as a 9" rim but you'll probably want a 45 profile to do that.

[Reymando]

Well, so much for the rims and tires. Drove from Mississauga and half way towards Pickering got a rude text saying sorry he sold it. He even knew that I was coming to pick it up after work. That really hurts man, time to go shopping around again. If you guys find any deals, I'm willing to drive to pick it up and hopefully someone is kind enough to hold it.

What an f***head.

Sorry to hear that.

[Reymando]

Well what can you do, people are hungry for money. It just hurts to see the rims and tires that you wanted and driving halfway, ouchhhh! skipping from family time and making excuse just to pick it up hurts. Oh well:bang

[PR3Y11]

That sucks bro. What rims are you looking for and what's the price range? I'll let u know if I come across anything.

TM3 or kijiji seller?

TM3 or kijiji seller?

Ya I found it on kijiji, he had a blue mazda 6 but he sold it. He was selling it for 650 with tires and all. I figure that I would save some money since I'm the only person that brings bread and butter home for my 2 kids and wife. Anyways time to shop around again!

If you like it - get it. Don't listen to what everyone else thinks

[mazdaagain]

Get it if you like it. Rims are all about personal preference. Just make sure you get the right size tires. For 17" it's 205/50/17 .... and I just happen to be selling a set of amazing tires in that size - Yokahoma Avid Envigors !!

nice. if you decide to resell them in the future, you won't take too much of a loss in depreciation!

talk to tires23 (sponsor). they are at matheson and dixie. i think it will be about $80 for mount/balance but i don't remember. just tell them you are a tm3 member and want cash price :)

Well zzz3,

If I'm going to sell anything it will come all together, mazda 3 and everything... That will be in a few years but my son will have it for his first car. New upcoming generation past down to the next level.

[Reymando]

no worries friend! where are you going for powder coating?

Well somewhere around Mississauga or an hour away, somewhere is pretty well suggested.

my only advice would be to do your research carefully; particularly if you decide to go to metal coaters as their preparation, particularly stripping isn't very good.

quy's would be number one choice (but very expensive). another alternative is stripping technologies (good preparation).

[bunchi]

If it was really +60 offset and 18x8, you more at risk of rubbing on the inside/fender liner than on the fender when you turn. So roll your fenders? No. Spacers, maybe. Put the rims on the car and do a full turn to test the fitting.

coz i'm looking forward with the same setup too!!!
i just bought the mags out off a 2010 mazda6 18x8 +60 offset & planning to mount them with 225/40/18 for my 2012 hatch skyactiv.

any comments and suggestions would greatly appreciated!
let me know what you think, because i'm not interested on doing mod just to make them fit.

[mugfordd]

I have a 2008 Mazda 3. Everything is stock. I have been looking for some steel wheels for the winter. I came across some Volvo wheels that look like they'd fit, but I can't say for sure. They are part # 1387534. It says 6Jx15x25 on them. The tires are 185/65R15. They are 5 lug. How do I know if they will fit my Mazda 3? They only want $20 for all 4 wheels and tires, so it's a great deal, but only if they fit of course. Can someone please comment? Thanks.

No they will not fit. On your profile it says you drive a 2008 Mazda 3 GT... The lowest rim size on a GT you can go is 16".

Would 18x8 48off set fit 2012 mazda 3 sedan gx?
seems like all the website don't have that rim choice with this model. The website http://www.rimsntires.com says maximum is 19x7.5
But I called and talked to a wheel shop, he said it will fit.

sorry for no edit option.. he has called OZ racing and they said it'll fit. if worse comes to worst, it'll rub, is there any spacer/mod that can fix that?

Thanks

The rims will no doubt fit. The size of tire you choose to run may cause rubbing.

Are you lowered at all?

not lowered, the shop recommended me to go 215/45/18, he said if i go 225, he will not guarantee it will not rub.
Is the recommended tire size for 8'' wide rims 225? if i get 215, will the rim kinda stick out more than the tire?

[zzz3]

you will not rub with 225/40, lowered or not. you can even go up to 235/40 if you want with no issues.

zzz3 is accurate with the information in his post. 225/40/18 & 205/50/17 have almost the same overall dimensions therefore you will not rub with 225/40s lowered or not. I'm not sure what shop you are visiting but you may want to find a new place to take your car to.

talk to alphamotorsports. i bet they can beat braidan tires price (and or order from the states). mo has access to great shipping rates. then have it installed by one of the many tire shop sponsors on this forum. you want to save as much as you can when it comes to buying new rims/tires (for down the road) because the depreciation on them is high.
