Is it just me or does the CX-5 look like it missed "leg day at the gym" with the skinny rims/tires that come on it? If I want a look more similar to the BMW X5 tire size/width, please advise what I would be looking for. I've never upgraded rims and tires before, so I'm familiar with some of the sizing, but not all the details. Tire size I would be looking for is the 275 wide on 20" rims, so please advise what size rims fit that width of tire?

20"x10" with 40mm offset with 275/40/20 is largest fitment on a CX-5 according to a forum member TampaMS3, found here- http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123817319-Show-me-your-wheels
Btw, I think some MPG must be lost due to more rolling resistance, I would imagine. I'm sure it's one reason Mazda fitted those skinny legs

Thank you all for the help, but if I was worried about MPG so much, I would trade my man card in for a Prius.

Thank you Skorpio, please tell me what is the offset? So 20" rims by 10" wide, got that part. Now to find some sick rims. I'm thinking in the mean time to plasti dip my rims, as it will take me a couple months to not only save up for the rims and tires but find the exact ones I like.

Yep, nothing says "I'm a man!" like overcompensation with fully sick automotive bling!
spare tire question
What causes 'air bubbles' around my 2014.5 Mazda cx-5 spare tire rim? Only had the car since January. Car is garage kept, only 600 miles on it. Is this another "no problem found" by Mazda?

Says someone in a forum full of people swapping out and upgrading their rims. Way to keep on topic bro.
Way to stereotype, guy.

I fail to see a stereotype, however it is clear (evident in some of your other posts as well) that you are an unnecessary douche bag.
