My 2016 CX5 GS. RTX Mini Baja 17x8.5 35 mm offset on 235/65/17 Nokian Rotiiva all weather all terrain tires.
I just got Frank the Tank 2.0 yesterday from the dealership and had them transfer the wheels from my 2011 CX7 over to the CX5.
Got so many compliments from the manager, salesman and the service guys. They fill out the well really nice, and give it a good stance.

2016.5 CX5 Touring AWD
BC Racing Extreme Lows with Swift springs and camber arms in the rear. It was too low for those tires and wheels. But had almost no rubbing with the Mazda 6 wheels I had before.

I just got mine today - RTX Wheels 19 x 8.5 (Offset is mentioned as 38 on the Box that has the Wheel). Tires are 255/50R19 Firestone Destination LE3 (All Season). My OEMs are actually 17 x 7 with 225/65 R17 with Geolander g91 All season
I didn't go for longer drives yet, but I definitely feel some heaviness (I just switched from my Winter tires Continental VikingContact 7s, they're lighter, just 29lbs vs these LE3s 32lbs.
For around 4 years I was actually using KO2s 225/65R17 and I regret because they're 37lbs each! and added lot of road noise although they performed superior in mud, slush, heavy snow (and worst in Ice and super light snow).
For these new 19 inch wheels, I didn't make any changes or adjustments, just removed those Continental 235/60R17s with these 255/50R19s.
RTX wheels: RTX® (R-Spec) • 083125 • RS01 • Satin Bronze • 19x8.5 5x114.3 ET38 CB67.1

How have these RPF01’s worked out? They are soooo light that are they to the point you notice the performance gains accelerating and braking? I would think that even MPG’s would be improved by 2-3 MPG is that realistic?
Any performance gain from the wheel and tire switch?
Did the wheel and tire combo have noticeable performance improvement?
there is a noticeable improvement. the wider, firmer sidewalled, ultra high performance all season has much more grip and less tread squirm than the toyo A36. it feels like stiffer ARB's, especially at the rear is needed for more roll control. the Falken is a decent mid-tier UHPA/S. I'll definitely something more top-tier next time around.
I went with CX9 20" rims to get smaller sidewall and wider Michelin 255 tires and it is so m
uch better than stock 19" rims and Toyo tires.
They are heavier but they fill out nicely towards the bodyline.

I do really like this look, I just wish they weren't 40+ lbs each sans tires.
Where/how did you end up buying them.
Found them on eBay and then just had them refinished to the gunmetal color

Yeah I was very surprised when I found out each rim weighs 39.5 lbs.
It is surprising for sure but they are sturdy enough for my northeast winter & potholes!
Would look great dropped a bit. Can’t get over the weight… 60+ lbs per corner with tires is crazy for this chassis.
Funny enough it is getting lowering springs (-1.2" drop) and Bilstein's in the near future, have the parts just need to be installed.
Not too worried about weight at this point since I'm not racing it.

Sounds like where I've been at the past 8 months... Collecting parts.
