Post pics of your Mazda5

Our Mazda5 2006 GT.

Once they come out of the car wash, the thought of buying a replacement
suddenly disappears.

I gave her a good wash after a particularly muddy ski trip. I'm featuring my new Inno with Thule ski attachment and winter rims. Took these with the new camera in the interest of bandwidth, I posted the rest here: http://www1.snapfish.com/snapfish/t...otsc=SHR/otsi=SALBlink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/

Hi

Has anyone any pics of a 5 with 19" alloys?

I have just bought an 06 Madza 5 sport and upgraded the wheels to 19", wondering if they will be too big!! Everyone seems to go max 18".

Thanks everyone.

Just my $.02, I think people just tend to get a size that is practical. 19" would look awesome but the ride would be rough and 40 series sidewalls would not be pothole friendly. Since most people bought their car for family and daily use, I think you found your reason for 18" max.

If it floats your boat. You need to drop it first though. 19's at stock height will look funky, even with skinny tires.

I hadn't planned to drop it but will wait and see what it's like. Just thought the current 17" wheels look very small at minute. Roads here in Northern Ireland quite pot hole free and bought my Mazda for the space in back to carry some equipment rather than people so hopefully the ride will be ok!!

Is it expensive to drop it down if it does look strange?

Here's a link to my cardomain page if you want to see a 5 on 19"s

and you'll need a 225/35 tire to keep your speedometer correct and a 215/35 for a little stretch

Thank you, looks extremely sexy!! Not too big at all!

The dealer mentioned 40's instead of 35's, I don't know too much about tyres, will this make much of a difference? Is it a bumpy ride with your 19"'s?

 

[1WICKED6]

actually I dont have the 5 anymore...

But it was a nice ride...not too choppy for being lowered 1.8". Depending on the offset of the wheel I wouldnt recommend a 40 series tire. What is the offset and width of the wheels you are getting?

 

[DKaz]

Hey Kid5, did it come without blacked out window frames?? It actually looks pretty decent.

 

[1WICKED6]

Actually you are the second person to point that out....I never noticed that they came blacked out. I kinda like it blacked out better but since it's different...I'll leave it alone

Im not sure. I asked dealer I am buying the car from to put a set of 19" wheels on it. I am getting 19" 'rs innox' wheels. I am not really a car buff so I don't know much about offsets etc! He definately mentioned 40's though. Why would these not do the trick? What makes the size of wheels/tyres affect the speedo?

This is one of the easiest and simplest tools for tire size I've come across. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

My 2010 Mazda5 Sport

Just got the rear windows tinted. I like the white color. It makes the car look like it sits low, because of the color contrast to the pavement.
