I am fairly new to this site but have already been helped by spark plug and flashing air bag light problems. I noticed on another thread that people were suggesting using 215/40/17 tires for Mazda3 17 x 6.5 rims on a P5. Every tire I checked on Tire Rack for 215/40/17 has a 7 inch minimum rim width requirement. For the 17 x 6.5 rim 205/45/17 is suggested. I just bought a set of near perfect 17 x 6.5 rims off a 2006 Mazda3 and after much research was leaning toward the General Exclaim UHP tire. Any thoughts on size or tire? Thanks
New wheels TSW 18x8 40 offset, 215/35/18
what mods did you have to do to get them to fit. did you have to shave anything on the inside for clearance. i was told tsw's would not fit the p5. maybe it was just the one i was interested in.

He probably hasn't done anything. I'd imagine it's just because he isn't lowered and/or hasn't really carried anything with any substantial weight in the back.x2 and what mods have you done to your rear fenders? I ask given the width and low offset of the wheels.
Yeah, but I think the RX-8 wheels hit the suspension if you don't use a spacer (I could be wrong). I think their issue is with being a 8" wide wheel with like a +50 mm offset.That said, he will have rubbing issues with weight in the back end right? IIRC the RX-8 wheels rub at stock height.
