2008 Mazda CX9 GT

[wadouse]

Hey Guys,

As the Title says I have a 2008 Mazda CX9 GT,

I live in Canada so I'm starting to get ready for next winter already.

Just wondering if there is anybody on here that has a CX9 GT that is using 17 inch wheels as winter wheels and if you know the exact size and offset I need

I found this at crappy tire

Sorry. My Blizzaks are 18"

Thanks,

Do you have the specs for your 18 inch Rims

Went with 18" rims for my Toyos. Brake caliper clearance on the 17's might be an issue depending on what rim you choose I have been told by tire dealers.

Memember Rawyzf has a good sticky in this forum. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123802450-CX-7-amp-CX-9-Wheel-Info!

Not sure what the specs were. I just called TireRack and told them that I wanted Bizzaks on rims. The 18" tires were about $100 less per tire than the 20". They're the specialists so they gave me some matching aluminum rims for the 18" tires that matched the diameter of my 20" to keep the odometer reading as accurate as possible.

Last year I bought 17" alloy wheels (Sport Edition K7 silver) and Blizzak DMV1 tires (245/65R17) with TPMS sensors from Tires23 in Mississauga.

They seem to work well, no pics, as they are sitting in storage. I think the front wheels are close enough to the brakes that the heat from the brakes has discolored the rim a bit, but this is only cosmetic.

The attached screenshots from TireRack show the same package, with the same wheels (including specs). TireRack recommends this package.
