Does anyone have Mazda3 Rims on there P5 ?

[mazdaspeedwagon]

Are they still for sale?

 

[Matt V]

Yes they are. I'm asking for $500 shipped for wheels and tires.

got mine for $250 IIRC... pretty decent condition... needed tires though... i would say you could score a set between $250-$400.. you'll probably wanna put 10mm-20mm spacers also depending on how much fender clearance you have... they do sit kinda far in

Matt V, nice looking ride, but how come you're missing a lug nut??

I fixed the broken stud a long time ago.

So I'm confused. It seems that the original question was never answered because I'm on stock suspension as well, and woud like to put Mazda3 wheels on the P5 too. It seems from what I read that 215/45/17 is the correct dimensions to go with for a stock P5 suspension, yet, at the same time it doesn't? Any help is greatly appreciated, pls!

It is...

205/45-17 for a P5

I thought the stock setup on the P5 was 195/50/16... 205/45/17 or 215/45/17 will both work, tho.

 

[nate0123]

Correct - stock P5 is 195/50-16 on a 6" wide wheel
205/45 is great for a 6.5" wide wheel (such as stock mz3 wheel)
215/45 is a little wide for a 6.5" wide wheel, but will work; it is more likely to rub, and is a more appropriate size for a 7" wide wheel (such as stock MSP)
215/40 is another option for a 7" wide wheel

Or 225/45 (rockon)

205/45 FTW. I loved that setup.

 

[CTt3P5]

I did...kinda sorta. haha

 

[nate0123]

Lol, need to work on that wheel gap (hah)

 

[CTt3P5]

Nah....it's just right..... lol

Took those at your request from my f/s thread. Of course a much better visual could be had if the wheel had some rubber and the car wasn't jacked up but you work with what you got. haha

Ok, and this is the for the 5 spoke (baby RX-8) wheels on stock suspension, correct?

Matt V do you still have the MSP springs? I heard they rub with people sitting in the back!?

 

[Matt V]

I don't have the MSP springs anymore but it wasn't an issue when I had them. It is an issue if you use the factory P5 struts with them but if you use the full MSP assembly (struts + springs) it's not an issue.

Good to go 205/40 on stock springs and struts of a P5, right? I wanna order the tires today!

Are you talking about the Mazda3 17" wheels? If so 205/40 is gonna be really small, ScratchNSniff had that size and HATED it.
