Yeah, I hear you on that, gotta rear sway bar to install while I'm at it too !Sounds like where I've been at the past 8 months... Collecting parts.

Extra weight puts extra wear on the car… longer to brake, more energy to get the car moving.. etcFunny 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.
The stock 19" rims weight 32lbs, these are 39lbs I don't think the extra 7lbs is gonna make that much difference in overall wear or performance on it...at least from going from one to the other I haven't noticed any significant degradation.Extra weight puts extra wear on the car… longer to brake, more energy to get the car moving.. etc
it's more than just 7lbs/wheel static/unsprung/rotating. the 255 are heavier, static/unsprung/rotating inertia farthest from center, which has the greatest affect. they also have more rolling resistance and slightly heightened(taller) gearing due to the slight increase in overall diameter. while slight, there's surely a decrease in performance, however if your butt dyno doesn't notice, it's all goodThe stock 19" rims weight 32lbs, these are 39lbs I don't think the extra 7lbs is gonna make that much difference in overall wear or performance on it...at least from going from one to the other I haven't noticed any significant degradation.
That is why I am aiming for 15+ less pounds per corner with lightweight Enkei’s and tires that are also lighter.it's more than just 7lbs/wheel static/unsprung/rotating. the 255 are heavier, static/unsprung/rotating inertia farthest from center, which has the greatest affect. they also have more rolling resistance and slightly heightened(taller) gearing due to the slight increase in overall diameter. while slight, there's surely a decrease in performance, however if your butt dyno doesn't notice, it's all good
My 18x9.5 Enkei rpf1’s are 13lbs lighter per wheel…. Makes a huge difference.That is why I am aiming for 15+ less pounds per corner with lightweight Enkei’s and tires that are also lighter.
Which lug nuts did you use?A 2022 Turbo in Black Mica with Flow One Race Spec F2 wheels (20x8.5 +45mm offset) and Continental DSW06+ tires (245/45ZR20).
SUV has been lowered 1.75" front and back.
Bottom pic shows the new slotted rotors with the wheels/tires.

Mine sits the same way. Part of it is the angle the car is sitting on. Part of it is the angle that the photo is taken.Gap in the rear is quite high
You only lowered the front?Don't mind the extra height in the back as on stock springs shocks it would sag when the trunk is loaded. I wasn't looking to lower it too low as still wanted to keep some height for when it snows or on a dirt road etc.
I just got them on last week, will see if they settle in further.
No used all 4 corksport Lowering springs, along with the bilstein b6 front and rear.You only lowered the front?
hello. your offset 25 or 35?
hello. i plan to buy wheels 20x9 et35, is there any issues with that spec for mazda cx5 model 2019?2nd gen CX-5 owners have installed the OEM 2nd gen CX-9 wheels (20x8.5 +45) on their cars with zero issues, so you'll be good with those rims. Tires on the other hand might be too wide for the wheels. Usually the recommended maximum width on an 8.5 wide wheel is 255, but if you really want to run 265s, contact the manufacturer of the tire you're planning on using to confirm that the tire model you want to run is safe to be installed on an 8.5" wide rim.
may i know your wheels size and et?
