Show me your CX-5 wheels

You’re golden.

That tire is going to be a bit of a waste on the wider wheels, so if they’re your winter fitment and you have OE 19” wheels, I’d put the Pirellis on those and save the Enkeis for a summer fitment.

Our 14 cx5 ran Raijin 19x8 et 45 with 235/55/19 all weather vreds and I dug the look. I’m looking for a bit more aggressive et this time but like the ‘thin’ 235s. I dislike the 20x9” 40 series look on a non lowered car and can’t store summer/winter set up for the wifes car. I have 3 sets of wheels for my G87 hanging all over the garage (winter/track/daily) and I’m out of room.
I bought a pair of 15mm spacers and test fit them on the front with the oem 19/7s. It looked perfect to me. Raijin 19/8/45s would be a few mm inboard, 19/8/40s a few out and Konig 8.5 45 et Ampliforms would be almost 5mm outboard. These 19/8.5/50s are 1 mm inboard from the test fit spacers.
I really want the Ampliforms (20lbs) but you gotta promise me they won’t poke.

I guess I have to look at all the pics in this thread for a 3rd time. Let me go pour another bourbon and get on it.

I measured 25mm from the stock 19" wheel face to the fender trim. That is what I based my decision for 245/45/20 +45 with a 10" section width tire on. I wanted the look of the roundest part of the tire being flush, while the area as it curves into the tread to be under the fender.

Note: the rear will only be flush after you zero the camber with adjustable camber arms. Otherwise you'll think you need spacers; you do not.

ON POINT! but I’m not lowering the car.
