15's on MSP

[mazdaowner123]

Will 15" wheels fit on an MSP? I'm looking to get some 15" steelies w/ blizzaks for this winter (I know, I'm a little late.) Thanks.

i got 15" steelies and winter tires from tire rack... they are supposed to fit, everything i've read doesnt say otherwise. From personal experience i cant tell you. My engine blew three months ago and my car has been sitting in a warehouse for all of this winter.

but yea, they should work.

i have them from tirerack, they fit.

(mswerd) thanks guys.

no prob. i got the dunlap graspic ds2's and they work great. I cant imagine how well the blizzaks work since theyre better (so im told).

The Blizzaks are awesome, I've got 'em on 16in steelies. Funny thing is that my MSP still handles better than most "normal" cars even with my winter rig. Not anywhere near summer, but still not bad.

Can you guys suggest what offset I should be looking at in 15'st? I'm looking at the Konig Traffik (http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?wd=15&pc=65015&rw=6.5&bp=5-114.3) and Continental Vikings in 205/60-15...
Thanks!

Bump. 15 inch rims, 40mm offset, with 205/60 or 195/60 - will it work on an MSP?

thanks...

You neglect to mention the wheel width. if it is a 6"rim then you are going to sit 2mm out further on the outter edge than the stock rim.

I am going to mount 195/60/15's on 15x6 rims with 40mm offset tomorrow morning. I will let you know how it works out.

Sorry. I am looking at two different rims: a Konig Traffik in 15x6.5 with 40 mm offset, or a TSW VX1 in 15x7 with 35mm offset. Discount Tire Online has both at decent prices, but I don't want to be stuck with a tire/wheel package that doesn't fit.

I got mine on this morning and have no issues.

I am positive that the 7 inch rim with 35mm offset will NOT work.
The 6.5 with 40 might be close to rubbing as it is 9mm further out than the stock rim.
I am using an offset calculator. http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html

I was originally going to go alloys but I ended up doing steelies from tirerack.
All 4 with lugnuts were $180 including shipping. Can't beat that when they are just going to get salty and beaten up.
Good luck!
