Show me your CX-5 wheels

New shoes came in. TSW Bathurst 21x9 35 offset. Hankook V12 EVO2 tires 245/35/21. Will be putting them on in a couple weeks just waiting for the hub centric rings to come in from TSW. Will be selling my Rays Gram Lights 57Transcend in the near future.

Should look great. When you get them installed, please show pics from the rear and along the sides. I’ve been considering a 20x9 +35 and would like to see how flush or how much poke there is from the front fender. Also, can you show how much concave the Bathurst has? Much appreciated.

Got them on today, it's been raining constantly over here so the car is filthy. Tried to take a lot of different angles to show how they sit. I went with a mild stretch and the tires are perfectly flush. The 9" Bathurst has a decent concave the pictures don't do it justice. Also running Eibach springs but might need to switch to coil overs now.

Looks super nice!
 
Anyone have pics of bronze 17s on machine gray? I think this would look good but the Tirerack mockup doesn’t give me a great idea what it would actually look like.
 
Looks great. How do you like it now that you've lived with it? Would you do it again?

I am going more for a rally look (17s, mud flaps, racks all over the car, etc.)

Love it. Wife doesn't seem to notice the difference in ride quality, which is surprising considering how often she complained about my lowered IS250 on 18" wheels. I would definitely do it again, but I would probably do a gloss finish instead of a matte finish (easier to keep clean).

I actually am planning to put some Rallyarmor mudflaps on mine because there is a very tiny amount of poke that causes the sides and rear of the car to get dirty a little faster than usual.

Looking at their site, I don't see the CX-5 listed, so I'm guessing perhaps a universal style or what?

I drive a CX-9, but yes, a universal version. I've mocked them up and marked them so I know where to drill, I just have to find the time to do it.

Based on @sig-cx5's pictures right above your post, if you have a gen 2 CX-5, 35-40 offset would be the look you're after. Choose 40 if you want the wheels to sit 5mm more inboard.

This assumes that you'll be retaining the stock height. If you lower the car, you'll get a little bit of negative camber and they won't look perfectly flush until you get the camber corrected.
