Running General Altimax Arctic on my 323. Work great. Get good reviews too.

Doesn't anyone here own a Mazda 3 (which is Mazda's most popular car at this time) and changed the wheels on it? (hand)

Just wondering about wheels and tire combos for a 2004-up Mazda 3 GT. Am I correct 16" is the smallest rim size you can put on a GT with the 2.3L engine? And for summers if I went 19" wheels, what is the max tire size one can put on the car? I was looking at a set of 245/30/19 tires, but not...

Well I decided to go with the 16" BFG KDW2 tires. But I also got a set of 14" winters to put on my car with a set of Honda rims. See pics. I got the General Altimax Arctic tires put on. I drive a small Mazda and its amazing how much more effort the 195 series I had on was to steer then the 175s...

What exactly is a coil over in the suspension parts?

Im wanting more summer tires then all season, but if the handling performance is up to par- I can live with all seasons. Anyway Im looking at the BF Goodrich KDW, Yokohama H4S, and the Toyo PRX4 tires. All are around the same pricing. Im putting them on a 1989 Mazda 323 with 16"x7" wheels...

Ok. I got the wheels today- since 16" are being discontinued and this was remaining stock. However come spring I'll be looking for tires. Im wanting summer treads. I've narrowed it down to 3 tires. The Nexen N3000, the BF Goodrich Geforce Sport, and the Federal 595. All are close in price. Both...

Well I went to the tire shop and we checked the sizing the hard way. They had a set of 16" wheels there (Sacchi S2 16x7 40mm offset) and the mounted them on my 89 Mazda 323. They were close to the suspension parts, but still room for movement. They mounted a Nexen N3000 summer tire in a...

I'd like to know the same thing. I'd like to put 16" on my 89, but Im finding there isn't a lot of room in the rear to do so. What size are those wheels with what offset, and the tires- what size are they?

Im finding there are almost no options for 17" tires for this size. Im rethinking to 16" now, but Im wondering if the 89 323 can even go bigger then 15"? I checked my 15s and they are very close to the shock in the back. Anything wider will rub. But I have no idea what offset my current rims...

I have a 4 door 1989 323 LX. Im wondering if this set of tires will fit without rubbing on the inner part. Im looking at a set of 215/35/17 tires. The wheel offset I believe is 40. Any ideas? Finding info on a car this old is hard to come by today. Im currently running 195/50/15 tires with no...
