Look what you've done. Made me want to go out and spend more money! Thanks for the picture, you have some serious skills with the photoshopping.

Thanks Distinct. If you want to drop it like that, buy Eibach Pro-Kit. This what i have for the moment and i love it, wouldnt trade them for anything else.
PS: This is a very easy photoshop, i can do way much better and tougher than this

In the original post there is a pic of a Red 5 running RX-7 rims (16x8-50mm offset) with 205-55-16. Does anyone know if I can just throw these on as is, or is there a special setup? I know I have to switch the TPMS.
Thinking about doing this on our 5. Just put a brand new set of Kumho Ecsta ASX and up-sized them to try and get a smoother ride, but the wife still complains they are still not smooth enough...she is the primary driver of our 5.

I was cetain I wanted to get 20's...the ones I was looking at were 20 x 8.5 with a 45mm offset....now I'm kinda scared to spend the money and then get tire rubbing....but I see he's got wheel spacers...about how much is a 5mm spacer...The RX-8 wheels dont rub at all...maybe I'll just get the 225/40 tires so my speedo isnt off(argh) I really wanted them(sadbanana)

I think those wheels look Super Clean on this 5
I tried putting a custom laser cut 6mm aluminum spacer on my rear wheels but decided not to push through with it. I already got after market wheels on it, ADR sokudo10 17x8 +48 and has only about a little over 1/2 inch of usable thread that goes to the wheel nuts. using the spacers will definitely reduce the remaining usable threads.
Maybe if I change the studs to longer ones...

Since the notion of not being sure is killing me...I ordered one wheel(no tire) to try it on and see what my clearance is and if I see that it wont work I'll return the wheel and pay the restocking fee and I'll be at peace with myself and I wont have paid the $1500 to get them to regret it...I'm ok with losing up to $100 to be sure instead of $1500 and selling the wheels I like and know dont rub and have plenty of clearance. They just look small to me...I had 22" on my Rodeo...I guess that would probably be my problem. Here is the wheel I'm looking at.

I did the same thing with Tirerack and ordered one Moda R6 19x8 +45 back in 2006 to test fit it on my Mazda6. I knew it would stick out a bit, but it was more than I wanted. I would've had to roll and pull the fenders. So I test fitted it, didn't like the outcome, sent it back, paid restocking fee, received my refund all in a period of two weeks.
I don't remember how much the wheel or restocking fee was, they just took the fee out of the refund they owed me and charged it back to my card. I was happy with that. I'm glad I didn't do it because I traded in the car for a Mazda5, and that fitment definitely wouldn't have gone on the 5.
I actually looked into getting that particular wheel for the 5. It's a nice looking wheel. A classic. I just don't like the screws at the tips of the spokes.

Its funny you say the tire rack because that is where I'm getting it from...they are 20 x 8.5 with a 45mm offset...I just need to see with my own eyes to believe it...I dont like to take someones word that never tried it but wants to be a nay sayer. We'll see. Hey I wanted to thank you for all the 5's you've posted with different size wheels and looks...Awesome to see them hooked up. Good Finds..and keep em coming.
I understand what you mean when taking someone else word about something without trying it yourself, I've been there plenty of times. I might have never done that fitment before, but I've done enough research and looking at other peoples trial and error to know it won't fit. 20x8 with that offset is pushing it, but 8.5 is a definite no go without them sticking way out or seriously modding the fenders. I don't claim to know it all, but I'm pretty sure about this one.
Good luck and please post pics of your experience so that the forum can benefit by using them for reference. Thanks.

Ok....I got the wheel today with out the tire and I tried it.....I only tried it on the front because I had a feeling it would be flush out back but would stick out in the front...well my fear was realized...only wish I would have had a tire on to sit it down to see exactly where it sat after it was down all the way. Anyways here are the pics(stooges)
