Question - Will these FORD rims fit on a MazdaSpeed 3 ?

[tomcranems3]

So I recently got my MS3 and just realized that I have a set of perfect condition

17" ford five hundred wheels

I gotta double check the offset but i know for sure they are 17x7 with the same 5x114.3 bolt pattern as our MS3's .

I was thinking I could use these for winter...

does anyone happen to know if these will fit ? ...

the wheels look like this but with the centercaps

to followup .. looks like the offset for the wheels is a 52 offset which is the same as the stock MS3 18s ...i guess now i just need to figure out if the bore size is the same

Hub Bore on the 500 is 63.4

Hub Bore on the 500 is 63.4

I wonder how guys are running fusion rims on their cars then? Or are different fords have different bores?

thanks for the help

they actually do. The Fusion is 67.1 which is the same as ours.

I would say get some hub centric rings, but I don't know about getting them to make it smaller lol.

Also, the Fusion is derived from the Mazda6. I don't know for sure, but that might factor into it.

If it's worth it to you, you can have the wheels bored out from 63.4 to 67.1mm. My wheels were originally for Subaru fitment, which have smaller diameter hubs also. The guys I bought them from sent them to a machine shop, where it cost $25/wheel to increase the bore diameter.
