Prepping for Winter BBRRRR

I was wondering if anyone knew what size of rim could fit on a GT Axela? I know that with the bigger brake rotors proper sizing is important. I was hoping that a 15" steel wheel would fit. Anyone know for sure?

16 is the smallest you can go

There are 2 rotor sizes for the Mazda3. For N. American-spec, they packaged the rotor size along with engine size (which makes sense). So, in N. American-spec, the 2.0l has the smaller rotor size and the 2.3l has the larger rotor size. 15-inch cannot fit on the larger rotor size.

loriderroo's Canadian-spec GT would have the 2.3l, so mazdaspeedpower's right in that 15-inch won't fit.

Thanks! After I posted that I figured that was the case.
