The thread to end all "will this Manufacturer wheel fit my Mazda3" threads

[Default User]

Below is a reference guide showing other manufacturers that use the OEM 5x114.3 Bolt Pattern, with an offset matching 42-45

Keep in mind that the list was compiled when I was searching for 16"x7 winters rims to fit my 2005 Mazda 3

Also keep in mind that the center bores vary from each listed manufacturer wheel and may require the wheels to be bored out to 67.1 (or larger) or require the use of a hubcentric ring to fit our cars.

more info



Basic info on fitment
Your Mazda3 or Mazdaspeed3 (and any other late model Mazda, in fact) requires wheels with these basic specs:
- 5x114.3 bolt patten
- 67.1mm hub bore*
* larger hub bore wheels can also be used (e.g. 73mm, a very common hub bore), however hubcentric centering rings are recommended for fitting wheels with a larger hub bore to ensure correct centering.
- Wheel diameter between 16" and 20"*
* the 2.0L "i" Mazda3 can also fit 15" wheels, but 2.3L or Mazdaspeed3 models cannot. Also, 16" wheels are a very tight fit over the MS3 front brakes, it's possible that not ALL 16" wheels will work on an MS3. Wheel diameters larger than 20" may be possible, but the paper-thin tire sizes required for proper fitment would make the car very impractical and uncomfortable to drive.

The other two factors in wheel fitment are width and offset. OEM 17" wheels have an offset of 52.5mm and width of 6.5". In general, the wider you go, the lower the offset needs to be in order to clear the suspension components. These two factors, width and offset, are the most variable components of wheel fitment, compared to all the other variables which are pretty much set in stone.

"Safe" upgraded fitment -- these will work with any model, retain the correct speedometer readings etc just like OEM, and work in all conditions without any fender modification required.

17x7" wheels with an offset between +45 to +54
17x7.5" wheels with an offset between +47 to +50

The recommended tire size for these 17" common upgrades on a Mazda3 is 225/45/17. The recommended tire size for these 17" common upgrades on a Mazdaspeed3 is 235/45/17.

18x7" wheels with an offset between +45 to +54
18x7.5" wheels with an offset between +47 to +52
The recommended tire size for these 18" common upgrades on a Mazda3 is 225/40/18. The recommended tire size for these 18" common upgrades on a Mazdaspeed3 is 235/40/18. The 7.5" is strongly recommended over the 7" for an MS3.


Moderately aggressive fitment -- these are fitments that push the OEM fender envelope, so to speak. Depending on what suspension you're running and how much weight is in your car, you may or may not need to roll your rear fenders to make these work.

17x8" wheels with an offset between +40 to +50
17x8.5" wheels with an offset between +42 to +48

The recommended tire size for these 17" common upgrades on a Mazda3 is 225/45/17. The recommended tire size for these 17" common upgrades on a Mazdaspeed3 is 235/45/17.

18x8" wheels with an offset between +40 to +50
18x8.5" wheels with an offset between +42 to +48
The recommended tire size for these 18" common upgrades on a Mazda3 is 245/35/18. The recommended tire size for these 18" common upgrades on a Mazdaspeed3 is 255/35/18. The 8.5" is recommended over the 8" for an MS3; you could alternately stretch some 235/40/18 tires (the MS3 tire recommendation for narrower wheels) onto these wider wheels.

Truly aggressive fitment
Wider wheels (9" - 10") can also be fitted, with an offset in the +35 to +45 range, however a very good fender roll and perhaps a minor pull will DEFINITELY be required, and significant additional negative camber over OEM recommendations will also likely be required in order to avoid the wheels "poking" out of the fenders.

What about 17x7" wheels with an offset of 40? I only see 45+ as safe...

[skunk2]

i've ran 17x7 40 offset wheels with 205/50 and 215/45 tires with no problems.

[bukjoe]

bolt pattern is the same - but IIRC the center bore is smaller on the IS300
You can either have a shop bore it out. Boreing can run you between $100-200 for the set.
You can also get a set of 3-5mm spacers to make it fit You can get non-hubcentric spacers for about $5-10/pair (Hubvcentric is more expensive)

I think so, as long as you purchase hub rings. Bolt pattern on both is 5*114.3, but bore size on the 3 is 67 vs. 64.1 on the Acura.

[firstmazda]

Where do i get hub rings? Are they expensive?
or am I better off taking the rubber off the steels and putting them on the rims I have that already fit the TSX?
(I just didn't want to go thru the hassle)

[Default User]

Hub rings retail for about $20/set
Not required to make them fit - but you'll save yourself in the long run. They're used so that the stress does not sit on the lugs alone.

Most shops that sell aftermarket rims will have these hub rings in stock. I actually might have some sittin in my garage at home. Do you know if an RSX Ctr bore is the same?

[machx]

So 5 x 100 from a 2001 Chevy Cavalier won't work?

What is the difference from 5 X 100 and 5 x 114.3? I see rims with both those in the details.

[machx]

Sorry... also, I was going to do 15" wheels, with 195/65R15. The guy from Canadian Tire said it would work because the extra sidewall would compensate for the 17" and low profile sidewall. And would make it MUCH cheaper, about $500 cheaper.

But above, and somewhere else I read that it wouldn't fit the brakes?

Any rim smaller than a 16" will not clear the calipers on a 3 with the 2.3/2.5L engine, which unfortunately, is where your GT falls.

:( I was so excited when I found out about the so-called 15" with bigger sidewall option, SOOO much cheaper! Tires and rims... Guess back to the drawing board and looking at 16" with 205/55 ... about $20 more a tire looks like it.

Thanks for the clarification! Saved me time and money, was hunting Kijiji down for rims which if I bought wouldn't have been able to use!

the spacing between the bolts. 5x100 means 5 bolts spaced 100mm apart. Our Mazdas require 5 bolt pattern spaced 114.3mm apart

On some aftermarket allow rims, there are dual 5-bolt pattern which accomodate both 5x100 AND 5x114.3. They will have 10 holes
Often they are 70mm ctr bore and require a hubcentric ring to fit snugly on the hub (and not add all the stress on the lugs)

[gabbygenier]

Hey guys

Potentioally looking at these and wondering if they'll fit. I'm lowered on prokits. Pretty sure they'll fit but just want to make sure.

Steelies from an 09 sonata.

Hub Diameter 67.1mm
Offset +46
Tires are 215/60/16.

[Default User]

Steelies should fit.
Tires - not so much. Looks like the overall diameter will be too big

[Hyperion]

Hey guys,
the 3 is 67.1 bore right?
If the rim I want is 72.6, what will I need to do to make it work?
Just hub centric rings?

Edit: nvm, read mroe posts above.

[krimsalt]

How about the new 2012 ford focus? I like those rims a lot, they are 205/55/r17... I'm guessing they'd fit, not too sure about the rub in the sidewall would happen or not because of wider rims..

[Default User]

I haven't seen / don't know the specs of the '12 Focus.

But if IIRC - the bolt pattern is the same as the Taurus (5x108) and WILL NOT fit the Mazda3.

But I could be wrong

The tire size has a taller sidewall profile, but not by much

[Astig02]

Looking on some Fast Wheels on Kijiji and the info was these:

Size:17x8" bolt pattern: 5x120mm - Offset: 40

Not 100% true. But at stock height yes you should be fine with that.

I think 2010~present Kia Cerato OEM rims will fit also, that is if what I read was accurate.

I'm looking at a set of Work Emotion XT7 rims, 18x7.5, +42 offset. I know the first page stated +47 to +52, so is +42 pushing it? I'd love to pick these up if I can.

You'll be fine at pro-kit hight. Heck I managed to fit 18x9 +45 with 235/40/18 and there is not rubbing or issues (and I am dropped 1.75"). The 2nd gen wheel well is much bigger than first gen :D

It was 35 on a 17x8.25... you guessed it my plan was xxr... I spoke with a couple of guys, and they said there is camber plates to adjust stock struts on selective cars, but havent confirmed if Mazda3 is one of them.

I believe it's a +45 offset. I'll do some rescerch when I can. Would 18x8.5 +45 be fine? Or should I look for some 17's?

Sorry about the previous posts...i am new at this.
So the car is not lowered. The rims are 5X114.3, which is fine, and hub bore size of 73, hubcentric centering rings were recommended for this hub bore.
I was concerned about the 35 offset as i saw the recommendations were 40 to 50 offset for 17X8 wheels.

Yes the bolt pattern is fine, and yes hubcentric rings will be needed. The offset is aggressive, but will fit. I would recommend changing the tires to a uniform size all around.

The tires are fine, but you kind of need to know the bolt pattern and the offset. 5 bolt means nothing without a diameter. Does it say what vehicle the wheels came off of?

I am looking to get some winter tires on my wife's 2014 Mazda3 GT. I wonder if my OEM alloy wheels from my 2005 Mazda3, 16 inch will fit my wife's 2014 Mazda3 GT that come with 18 inch OEM alloy wheels. OEM size is 215/45R18 Tire rack shows the OEM specs for the 2005/ 16 inch wheels as 16x6.5 (OEM diameter). Finding the US equivalent for the 2014 3 isn't that easy. The models don't quite jive. The closest is the 2014 sGrand Touring and the wheel spec is 16x6.5 (-2 diameter) when I use the auto select for winter tires and wheel combo. The dealer also confirmed they sell 16 inch packages for the 2014 models that come equipped with 18 inch wheels.

Will my 2005 OEM wheels fit the wife's 2014 car without any issue?

[S.F.W.]

Yes they will fit without issue.

I've been shopping around for some used rims, and I found a good offer for a set of Ford rims, part number x40827. I found out that they were used on Crown Vic's up until 2001, but the other wheel fitting thread only says from 2002 onwards. They are 16x7 rims with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern, so they seem like they should fit.

Also, would these rims fit 205/55/16 tires? 7in is a little wide, but apparently it isn't that horrible of an issue.

Depends on the center bore. If it's 67.1mm or larger, it will fit.

As for tires, yes they should fit.

Crown Vic wheels can have low offset numbers, so check that too or they may poke out too much.

FD22 - They have have 70mm borehole, so I would have to buy some rings to make up for the gap.

Aitch - I did some research, and they are a 12mm offset. How bad will this be, and is it even practical?

12mm offset is not practical...you want an offset between 40-50

[midnightfxgt]

Dont buy the 12mm offset. They are likely Macpek steel wheels. Thats what the part number looks like anyways. Macpek make a quality steelie, but you will want one that fits.

Also - No hub rings on steel wheels.
