2nd gen 2011 Mazda 3 with speed rims

[hitable]

Hey guys, long story short, my stock tires are starting to go, I need new tires but because of tuition for university I am short on cash, my buddy gave me his 11 mzspeed stock rims, my other buddy has a set of Dunlop SP 600 from his 11 sti he said I could take. I have 2 separate questions.
1) Will the speed rim fit on my 3 (speed stock tire = 225/40) - and I know the bolt pattern fits what I mean to ask is will it cause rubbing anywhere
and
2) If I am able to get the 245/40 tires on the 18-7.5 speed rims, would that cause a lot of issues? Such as rubbing or what not

I know I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO do #2 but I only need them to last me through this summer, and trust me, I would not be asking about this if I had any other solution. My car is @ stock setting 2011 GT hatch. Any input would be appreciated! Thank you! :bang:bang:bang:bang:bang

1) you'll be fine
2) I don't even think that would physically/safely mount. Could be wrong, but I'd be surprised.

dont think its possible to put on 245s on a x7.5.
should not cause rubbing with the stock speed rims on stock height.

You might have rubbing on the your shocks with the 245.

Definitely will rub on the shocks.. I have 235 on my tires and its almost touching.

Could be wrong.. Im interested to hear who is running with 245

[jwoods_24]

245s are too wide. Run the MS3 wheels on 225s./ Should be noted tires of the same series also vary in width...

When I was really tight on cash, I went to the junk yard. Not the safest choice but, need to get by.
