5x114.3 bolt pattern, +45 to +55 offset wheels will fit on 2007+ Mazdaspeed3's. 16" will barely clear calipers, 17" is perfect.
There, that took literally 1/8th the length of your post and literally straight to the point. Now...stop over-analyzing and order a pair of damn wheels and tires already!!! You'll be lucky to find any at this point.
I spent $800 on my 17" MB Wheel "drag" wheels and 215/50/17 Dunlop Wintersport M3's.

Thread Title: Is there any theoretical way to disable TPMS dash light?
Guys, I totally forgot about my TPMS since i've bought my 2nd set of wheels and tires for my car. In the past, with my Corvette, it'd normally sit, because you know, obviously, it's a Corvette. Those things don't do too well in the winter, har har har. Anyways, after rigorous research, I bought my wheels and tires from Tire Rack. Frank was a great help and always has taken care of me. In the past when i'd order tires for the Vette, he'd always make sure they'd be exactly what I ordered, not a nick or scratch on the tires.
Frank gets everything priced up and shipped directly to my house. I lift the MS3 up, take off the stock wheels, install the new winter tires and wheels and go for a spin. Until I realized, oh NOES! I can't believe I have to stare at this TPMS all winter.
Is there any way you can disable this light in the ECU? In the past, I had seen other cars that were able to manipulate the flux capacitor in order to boost the blinker performance. There's just GOTTA be a way to turn this light off. Otherwise, i'm going to have to find another set of TPMS to install and go through this again.
Performance seems to be great and I think the MS3 has hardly missed a step, although I can definitely feel some more wheel spin and slightly softer sidewalls, at the exception of fantastic snow and ice traction!
