They are TY-5s right? Looks great! What width and offset did you get?
Yea they're the ty5, they're 8" and 45 offset, they sit very flush now.

Gorgeous! How does the ride compare with the OEM wheels/tires?
SndChsr, do the new wheels/tires weigh more or less than the OEM setup? I'm looking at upgrading my wheels/tires in the Spring, as I don't really like the look of the OEM wheels. Moving up to a 20 inch is the obvious next step up, but I've also been thinking about going to a 22 inch, which would probably mean a 30 or 35-series tire. Would you venture to guess if the ride on a 22 inch setup would be way too harsh? I love the way the car rides now, but wouldn't mind a slightly stiffer setup, but I'm left wondering if a 22 inch setup would result in a simply awful ride.

Hi SndChsr, great looking car, I have one looks just like it minus the wheels I'm currently trying to decide on. Do the wheels and tires look a lot wider than stock? I'm not necessarily looking for larger wheels but I just think the stock tires are way too narrow and don't look aggressive. I'm wondering how big of a tire will work without rubbing. Do your tires poke out any?
Can't seem to find not only an answer but even the question of what are pros and cons of for example on the 2017 cx5 the stock tires are 225/55r19, downsizing tire for 275/40r19. 1in smaller diameter and almost 2in wider with an aftermarket rim to fit. Just wondering if you can go smaller and wider without rubbing and what else it may do to the vehicle besides speedometer and odometer error.
You're not exactly downsizing, since you're staying with 19 inch wheels same as stock. I understand what you mean though since you are going to a smaller diameter tire.Can't seem to find not only an answer but even the question of what are pros and cons of for example on the 2017 cx5 the stock tires are 225/55r19, downsizing tire for 275/40r19. 1in smaller diameter and almost 2in wider with an aftermarket rim to fit.

On a lowered car that comes into play but your better off putting a set of lowering springs if that's your goal.
You're not exactly downsizing,
- Possibly softer ride, but since you are losing 1 inch in diameter, probably not...
Going to a wider tire and keeping the sidewall height the same will result in softer suspension when cornering. It is something I read before from a MotoIQ article but I could not find it anymore. I may be wrong on this though.How do you expect a softer ride from less tire sidewall?
