Question about wheel offset

[benbike]

I want to change the wheels on my mazda 6 2007 sport 5 doors. The original offset is at 60mm, and on almost every wheel sites, they can't find a match with 19 inches wheels because of the offset. Is it possible to fit a wheel with an offset like 45 or 52 without any problems? Or would i have to change some stuff about the suspension or the fenders? That's the kind of questions i have in mind about this. Can anyone help me? Thank you

No one makes a wheel near 60 offset, welcome to the 6.

How wide are you going? That will make the decision easier for offset.

And, just out of curiosity, why 19's?

I posted the thread on another name cuz i wasnt registered at that time.
The offset is 55mm, i got this information from mazda so i'm now sure it's 55, still is very high tho :| . I wanted 19's, but it can stay at 18 too, already big.
I can;t go wider than 8 inches, the basic wheel is 18 by 7 with 55 offset.
The wheel i would want to fit on it is 18 by 8 with 42 offset..can't test it, so i'm trying to find someone who already tried this. If not, i'll continue searching for wheel with that bad offset...18 or 19 doesn't really matter

18x8 at 42 I do not think will fit. If the RX-8 wheels (18x8 w/50 offset) can rub easily on a stock suspension, you might be pushing it at 42.

So i'm kinda stuck with my wheels , till i find a nice wheel with over 48 offset.. Wheels with this offset are rare thing, and 1 out of 20 of those wheels looks nice.. i'll be damned
