wheel help

i have a 2008 mazda 3 sedan.. i was looking at wheel and i dont know about the offset... what will fit on my car? does anyone know if 18's will fit as well?

18" will fit. Keep you offset below +40, unless you add negative camber.

Okay thanks!

He means above +40. Lower offsets push the wheel out toward the fender more.

Will a 225/40/18 tire work on a MS (2008) wheel for an 08 sedan?

 

[hat1018]

So does thet mean +38 is above +40? That is a bit confusing eh.

Stock tire size for speed3 is 215/45/18. So it would be close, speedo will be off a bit. Google *tire size conversion*

 

[Chefsp0t]

Yes, that is the right tire size for ms3 wheels on a sedan.

Stock sized tires on the speed3 are not the correct size for the regular hatch or sedan. You want 225/40/18 to keep the speedometer correct.

+38 sticks out toward the fender 2mm more than +40. Lowering the wheel offset pushes the wheel out. Raising it pulls it in.
