TireRack OZ Wheels

[AZ R3]

Any idea why I can't select Ultraleggeras for my '10 i Touring Mazda3? Can they not sell me 8" wheels for a car with 6.5" stockers?

Give TR a call and talk to one of their reps. They carry 18x8 +48 Ultraleggeras which I believe would fit, but it just doesn't show up because it isn't "guaranteed" or whatever. FWIW they cost $357 per wheel.

Thanks Will, I kinda figured that was the case but what a PITA to shop wheels!

pain in the ass for someone who knows wheels and fitment, sure. the tire rack is geared toward the consumer who wants new wheels based on looks, and not much else. they would get bad feedback if they sold new wheels that didn't quite fit right. their typical consumer wants to buy a new wheel set, have them delivered, bolt them right on, and drive around.

 

[WillD]

Yeah I agree with njaremka. I do wish they had a way to search wheels by offset, or at least display the full specs of wheels that they carry instead of just the diameter.

You can see the full specs. There are two views: on the car and off the car. If you view them off the car, the specs of each wheel are listed with it.

 

[WillD]

Yeah I know that. What I meant was if I just go to TR and want to look at Ultraleggeras, I can't view all of the available sizes and offsets that they offer for that particular wheel. In other words you can only view the full specs of wheels when you search by vehicle.
