Upgrading to 19 inch OEM Rims

[cjas22]

I have a few questions about this:

1. I have the 17 inch OEM wheels/tires on at the moment. I would need to replace the tires as well correct?

2. Would upgrading to 19 inch OEM rims be a problem with the lease I have?

Thanks,

1. Yes

2. If the lease is already underway, you'd probably have to buy the wheel/tire combo seperately for the duration of the lease, then reinstall the old 17" kit when you give the CX-5 back. You can then sell the 19" wheels in the forum or on Craigslist.

You can always check with your dealer if he can include them, but IMO, it'll be expensive...

At least where I am, buying the OEM 19s from Mazda was going to be ~$100 more expensive per wheel than lots of nice after-market rims.. If you really want that wheel, used is probably the way to go.
