I have a 2010 5 Touring with OEM 17" rims. I believe they are 6.5" wide. I am running slightly larger tires at 215/50R17. I have a bent rim and am thinking about buying a set of OEM wheels off of craigslist to replace mine. Right now I have my eye on a set of 10-spoke CX-7 or MX-5 wheels...
I am due for new tires on my 2010 5. I plan to replace the stock size tires (205/50/17) with 215/50/17 to hopefully give a smoother ride and more protection for the rims. I see other people here have done it without issue and Costco and Discount Tire has no problem selling me the larger tires...
