Show me your CX-5 wheels

I liked the look of the Black and Machined Mazda M011 rims, so I added a set of those.
I decided to be go a bit wider on the tires at the same time, so I added PILOT SPORT A/S 3+ 245/50ZR19 as well.
Love them so far! (I also have Eibachs)

I like this.. looks almost like a hatchback lol. I really like what you did with the exterior, especially the front end. If I had a CX-5, this is the look I'd want to emulate.

It looks way better now, ride is surprisingly good and smoother. I’m waiting to get my H&R soon

wow this is one of the nicer set ups I've seen. Do you mind sharing the wheels and tire specs? Think my silver CX-5 would look good with this.

I'm real new to understanding all this so I appreciate you helping me out. I know sometimes if you get a tire too big it can rub. Is it safe to say if I buy all 4 of the same tire size of 245/45/20 (your fronts) I will have no problem? Also - I wouldn't have to lower or lift the car for them to fit right?

I lot of us have 255/45/20 with no problem on stock suspension. I think that size actually looks/rides better than 245/45/20.

It depends on how wide your wheels is

depends on the wide.

lowered with eibach, no rubbing issue
 
Damnnnn some amazing pics on this thread!
I know I'm late to the party on this one but I just got my 2014 GT rims Powder Coated Gloss Black. It honestly looks like a new set of rims. Should have done this a long time ago. Also got 4" exhaust tips which are a must for this ride.

this looks awesome mate, I like the black wheels on the white cx5. I’m in 2 minds to either get a 19” 8.5J rim on my existing Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres or keep the pizza GT wheels like yours in black and rather get a 255/50/19 tyres.

I can’t find nice rims locally that I like or it’s like out of price range.
Tyre I’m going for next is https://www.errolstyres.co.za/tyre/falken/azenis-fk510/12662/PCFA1725

It can take a rim from 7-9”

see page 22 and 24

 
These looks decent, but I don’t like the thin spikes. I like the style of the thicker GT rim better.
 
Hey guys - for those who have put on bigger wheels (20 inch) - I'm seeing some that almost look like a hatchback. Is that because they are also lowering the car? I want to put the bigger wheels on and I like the way the height looks but I'm trying to avoid that almost hatchback look. (Too each their own, all your cars look great I'm just going for a different look)

If you want to maintain the height, your best bet would be to measure the total wheel diameter (tire+rim) and ensure that your new setup is not smaller than your current setup. The ones that look like hatchbacks are almost always lowered, but the lower profile tires do contribute to the look.

Thank you Sm1ke - how would I know the height of the new wheels I'm ordering?

I currently have stock 17 inch rims with 225/65/17 - I'm looking at 225/45/20
