So let me be sure this is correct...both 1st gen and 2nd gen jdm headrests will for our 19 touring, but the 1st gen are lower profile. Right? Great thread...had no idea these existed. Nothing wrong with better visibility...

255 is too narrow for a 10 wheel Proper tire size (if it fits with the offsets) would be 245/45 front and 275/40 rear

How do u like the weather grips when not in snow? Was debating between those and the conti truecontact tour, and went with the contis on our cx5.

Whatever u do, dont lift if the tail is starting to move and youre trying to reign it back in

Thanks guys...I like the looks as well. Not so easy these days to find a clean 5-spoke wheel that doesnt weigh a ton.

Excessive cold idling leads to fuel dilution, especially in DI motors. Can also lead to premature catalyst demise over time.

Lets try that again

Factory rx8 18*s powder coated black with 235/60 continentals

Rx8 18s on our 19 cx5 Hopefully the pic works... Factory rx8 18 wheels (18x8 et50) powder-coated black with 235/60/18 continental truecontact tours. Wheels only weigh 21.5 lbs, so with 26 lb contis was able to keep weight similar to stock 17s, if not a pound or two lighter. Will take more...

Agree...lateral movement is caused by roll stiffness, so stiffer/bigger sway bars will only exacerbate the problem. Can disconnect sway bar as mentioned above and itll help, at the expense of increased body roll. Id be wary of disconnecting only the front and not the rear, unless you like...

I absolutely loathe stop/start and would any day take cylinder deactivation over it if given a choice. My folks have a fully loaded glc300 (15k in options over base) and its a lot nicer to drive than I would have expected, but the stop/start is infuriating. Wish there was a way to permanently...

Agreed, except there was one person who had the recall done after going into limp mode one time, and later on it was discovered that a rocker arm fell off and necessitated an engine replacement. Havent yet heard of the problem manifesting after completion of the recall/software update. We have...

Change in plans...waiting for rx8 wheels to come back from powder coater, then mounting a set of 235/60/18 continental truecontact tours for year-round use. Took the fam up to Pinecrest this morning to play in the snow, and the stock Yokos were underwhelming, even in light snow & slush. Was bad...

What year cx5? Cant help much other than Id start with fresh brake fluid that can handle higher temps, and maybe some higher temp street pads

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV... Or the aforementioned r888s if u can find in your size haha

When my wife saw the wheels, she frowned and asked why they werent darker like the stock 17s...so guess Im going to have them powder coated now before mounting 🤦🏽*♂️

Any pics of rx-8 wheels on a 2nd gen cx5? Just picked up a set (18x8, 50mm offset, 67.1 centerbore) and gonna give them a try with some new 235/60/18 tires to replace the stock touring 17s. So hard to find a clean 5-spoke wheel these days, and unfortunately my previous Ferrari wheel experiment...

Great info...thanks guys. Yes live in CA and not really going to use enough to justify snow tires, but was thinking of upgrading to better all seasons prematurely if needed. Everything I had read stated that g91s were suicide in snow, and now that does not appear to be the case. Ive driven in...

How bad are the stock Yoko g91s in snow? Got about 17k miles on our 19 with stock 225/65/17 Yokohama Geolander g91a tires. Most everything Ive read about these tires online states how incredibly terrible they are in various conditions. We bought our cx5 awd new in June so havent had a chance...
