You’re correct. I overlooked the CX9 portion of the post. Many people on this thread that immediately associate larger diameter wheels with greater weight, and believe it’s silly to upsize. Weight depends on design, materials, and manufacturing process. I’m not a small wheel guy but I’m not...

MTL, Don’t believe the weight deficit BS. It doesn’t take a whole lot of research to see that most people running 20” setups actually saved weight over the stock 19” setup. Do what you like.

I know you did a TON of research to get to this and it seems to have been well worth it. The car looks amazing. The upsized, wider wheel combo and not-to-extreme drop make the CX5 look much more premium to my eye. It should have come from the factory like this but I wonder how much more the...

Does look good. PlusarKF, you're probably right, I hadn't considered the suspension being unweighted. I read every post on this thread at least three times trying to find someone running this setup and showing the flushness like you have. Couldn't find it and I ended up going conservative with...

My concerns mirror yours as wet performance is high on my list. I don't have any experience with the Scorpion but run Continental DWS on all my vehicles including a 2019 CX5. I also put these on my daughter's 2015 CX5.

Wheel choice and color look very good to my eye but yours is what matters. Note that the small brakes on the CX5 will not fill the wheel like image. As for your original question, many people will tell you how terrible it is to increase wheel size (fuel economy, ride comfort, etc.) but my...

Great look, love the deep concave with flares so there’s no poke. I wish I could have found nice flairs for my ’20 model when I was searching for wheels.

+1!! Mazda clearly chose to hold price points down (along with getting a bit better mileage) with the wheel/tire setup. It’s the skinniest in the segment and brings down a beautifully designed package. It’s smart though. The better quality interior was a huge selling point for me and I assume...

@masterofnone Looks sweet! I only see one photo though. Are you posting more? Specs?

I love the tire choice as I run those on all three of my vehicles. My main concern is wet weather performance and the Contis are great. The +45 offset is not going to be flush if that matters to you. I run 20x8.5 +40 (which is very common) and it still sits in just a bit. There are examples in...

This thread is full of cars running 255/45/20 on 8.5“ wheels. None have reported any rubbing or interference issues. I recently upgraded to the same as it is a conservative fitment.

After much consideration and reviewing this thread dozens (and dozens) of times, I've finally put some new shoes on my 2018GT. I've never seen this generation with aftermarket wheels in person so this thread was my only resource. Thanks to you all who post and keep this thread going. Although...
