Motegi MR125 Question

[ScorpioGTX1]

Hello everyone, I'm new to these forums and will soon be the proud owner of a Mazda 2. I'm sorry to add another "will these wheels fit?" thread to these forums, but I'm really a noob when it comes to wheels and could use some help from those who are more knowledgable.

This is what I'm thinking of getting for my future 2:

Wheels: Motegi Racing MR125, 16x7 +40mm
Tires: Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec, 205/50R16

Should these work well without rubbing or offset problems? I don't plan on slamming it, perhaps only H&R springs to lower it a bit. And will I need hub centric spacers?


Thanks in advance!

Spacers? No. Unless you're trying to "flush" it out a little more, although as it stands, I'm assuming you're probably going to stick out somewhere like 5-10 mm further out than stock.
You're looking at a very safe, FWD friendly size/offset.

I should add that hubcentric rings are up to personal preference. Some people swear by them, some don't. Assuming you're getting them installed by a shop, go ahead and grab them, should only add a few bucks to the total, and you get piece of mind knowing it's on there squarely.

Thanks for your help, greatly appreciated.

First of all, your car will handle fantastic with those tires.

Instead of 5-10mm further out, it's more like 15-20mm - With that being said, you still should not have rubbing issues.

Cool wheels, that should work great it has a curved in spoke wich gives the illusion of a deep dish. Safest offset range on 7" wide is 35-45mm just depends how far in or out you like and 40 is dead nuts. I've sold a lot of Motegi in the past this one was popular. Allways do hub rings and you won't have to second guess 73-64.1. By the way if you want the wheel to (look) bigger than it is, get one that has spokes that finish at rim of wheel.
