Winter Tires and Wheels...

[JoSHMaN]

So, I've been looking online for a set of steel wheels and winter tires for my '04 Mazda3 5-Door with stock 17" wheels.
I've searched through the Mazda forums, I came to the following conclusion.

From http://www.discounttiredirect.com

I picked out the following:

TIRE:
HANKOOK W300 WINTR TIRE B
215/55R-16 97V XL B

WHEEL:
16X6.5 5-114.3 55B
OE STEEL 03-04 ACCORD V6

I called them to verify and they said it wouldnt work, and I really thought this setup would work from what I understand, unless I am mistaken.
So I'm asking for your opinions, will this, or will this not work??

Thanks.

They probably just looked up the stock tire/wheel size in their computer to see if your setup matched it...

Seems like it would work to me.

I researched this a little further and found out that they will not fit.
Someone found out that the the center bore is only 65mm and stock center bore is something like 67.1mm.
So I guess I'll have to look elsewhere.
