Has anyone run 235's yet? The maximum tire width I see seems to be a 225...

Are you running stock 17 x 6.5 Mazda5 rims? So, just to be sure (before I order the tires) and summarize, you're running Stock 17 Mazda5 rims and you're running with 225/45 R17 tires without any rubbing, bulging, scraping, etc.

Thanks for your help!
 
Found some sick mz5's off a japan site... enjoy.....

i like the dual outlet muffler on the black one. and the rx-8 wheels on the green one look great.
 
Hi everybody just want to ask what is the spec of the RX8 wheels that is can be used on a 07 Mazda 5.

Thanks and more power to mazda forum
 
18" RX-8 are 18x8 with a 50mm offset... they will stick out in the front just a bit... if you plan to go with them.. you could use a 3mm spacer for the rear to bring it flush with the fender...

I was also thinking of the RX-8 18"s. Sorry for belaboring the point, but... mounting as they are will result in the fronts sticking out a bit as in your photos and the rears set into the wheel well by 3mm? This wouldn't be too noticiable without the spacers right? Any other pics?

Has anyone mounted the '08 MX5 wheels on a Mazda5?
 
here you go...

Stop it all, I cannot handle it anymore, all the rides posted look sick!

Hey RODSCALIP5, I just noted that your location is Japan, Did you get the fronts and tails lights w/ reflectors after-market? That would be funny, many people in NA like them w/o the reflectors :D

Cool, brought memories of me sighting a Ford F150 pick-up truck... in Bamberg Germany once! :D

Do you have time to do after-market parts research? I'm sure there should be some awesome stuff around for your "Premacy"

Oh, and any issues driving on the other side of the road with a left side steering wheel? Dang, I'm seriously off-topic, luv your ride!...

The first week was real weird driving on the right side, but I am a Pro now...... My 5 isnt here with me, I drive a Toyota Starlet. On weekends I have time to go down to the local dealer and check out the JDM parts available..................When it's time for me to go back Ill be on a shopping spree for my 5 and MS3 :D
