I*m sure lots of people are doing it. I was planning on doing it, until I found out the turbo models can*t take a 16* wheel.
Do you have any specific questions?
Do you have exact wheel and tire descriptions?Well since they stated that I found a set used locally in 16" and was considered if they would fit. Hoping someone new if the 16" would clear the brake calipers.

Sorry if I come across as not trusting you. It*s just that I*ve seen some people ask some REALLY stupid wheel and tire questions.
You should be golden with that setup on a non-turbo model.Bridgestone Blizzak 225/70R16 DM-V1 Snow tires. Set of 4 mounted on rims that fit Mazda CX-5.
Just purchased Blizzaks DM-V2 225/65R17 and Velocity 17" Alloy wheels for my 2019 Signature (OEM is 19"). Both the tire shop and local dealership said that the 70$ TPMS were not really necessary, if I didn't mind the low tire pressure light on the dashboard.

I just ordered these same tires mounted on basic black steel rims.

kdaug,
It's a very personal choice, nothing scientific. I relied on reviews, like I did before getting my cx-5. I looked on 1010tires, pmctires, protgez-vous, car and driver, and others. WS-90 is a new model for which there is no reviews yet. It's predecessor, WS-80, seemed to be a very good tire as well, although it's generaly reviewed as passenger cars tire, rather than suv's. On tire rack, reviewers gave a slight advantage to the DM-V2, namely for dry performance and noise level.
My question to you: which brand of tpms did you get? I think the Mazda ones are overpriced, but if I could find aftermarket sensors at a better price and that don't need special programming, I'd buy them.
Thanks.
I had aftermarket sensors previously installed by Mazda 5 years ago on my winter rims for my previous 2014 CX-5.
