I am in Seattle / Shoreline and just purchased a 2016.5 Touring with the exact wheels (17") and tires that you are negotiating to buy with the dealer. If you would like to swap the wheels and tires I would pay to have the Mazda dealer do the swap and reset the TPS at my expense plus give you a few bucks. My CX-5 is so new the nubs on the tires are still in tact. I have driven less that 300 miles. Let me know if you are interested. I just bought my CX-5 at Mazda of Everett, got a better deal than anywhere else.
I may be interested in this, BlackBear depending on how my negs. go. How would a swap like this impact the wheel/tire warranty? I am buying my car within the next few days.

Which mazda model has genuine 18" on?
Most likely the Mazda3s. The Mazda6s come with 17 and 19 inch wheels.
Also, some CX-3's had 18's on some trim levels.
Some wheels are wider. I found 18x7 wheels from 2017 and 2018 Mazda 3 and put General Altimax rt43 on them in size 225/60R18 and I am very happy. I think it's perfect how they should have came stock. Dunno if General tires are sold down under. They are originally a US brand now owned by Continental.
Did you enjoy driving on your GT with 17s?
The OEM 17 tires wear out too fast. If you are somewhere where you can buy the General Altimax rt43 I suspect they would be just fine. I hope that helps.
I can't get this tyre here. The cheapest I can get thru the wholesale trade account is $240 per tyre.
