New 3 Owner...

[valleycat]

Hi, new owner here. Love this car. Anyway, it has stock 196/65R-15 tires. I'd like to get some alloy rims for it, but can I use a 16" or 17" rim on it? It's a 2007 3 GS Sedan, btw.

Yes 205/55/16 or 215/45/17. Those sizes work with the mazda 3

Welcome, and I don't believe Mazda3 came with 15inch wheels only 16'' and 17''... Maybe the base 2L did, I'm not sure. Someone perhaps correct me?

Base model GX's came with 15" alloys

Actually stock size for 17" is 205/50/17

Base model GX's came with 15" alloys

Was that only in the 2L engine?

Thanks. There are some deals in my area on Mazda rims...but they are mostly 16" 17" and 18" rims. I don't see too many ads for the 15" rims. It's a GS Sedan, and the tires on it are 195/65R-15. I just wasn't sure if I could use the 16" or 17". Thanks all for the welcome.:cool
