    Complete CX-5 Wheel Specs

    I saw the first post but visually the offsets do not always make sense to me. I have some 19" wheels that are 8.5" / +30 and tires that are 245/35/19. I know the bolt pattern is the same but wheel these fit? with those offsets, they are kind of a low profile tire. Volk SF Winning. Thanks,
