51lb.
Very little, because the tire weight would increase.Was wondering what the weight savings is from going to 19 inch rims on a turbo Mazda CX 5 to 17 inch rims. What the weight difference is as well as the clearance. Anyone know?
Lot of factors to consider. Would you be using oem wheels? If so then you might save a good bit weight as the stock 19" setup runs around 60-62lbs per wheel. But the stock 17 wheel may not fit on a turbo model due to its larger rotor size. A 17" aftermarket might depending on spoke design but you wouldn't know until you got them. You can find light 19" wheels. In about 3-4 months I will be running a 19" wheel that is 1.5" wider than stock. My new tire/wheel setup will weigh about 46lbs vs the stock 60-62 lbs. Also remember if you go to a 17" wheel you will lose some cornering ability.Was wondering what the weight savings is from going to 19 inch rims on a turbo Mazda CX 5 to 17 inch rims.

Yes, they are heavy mofos.Do the factory wheels really weigh 31lbs? Dang. The Toyo A36 tires are 29 lbs.
What wheels did you end up ordering? Depending on the design, that sounds a little heavy for a 19x8. Many I looked at were 21-23 lb in 19x8.5. They must have a thick spoke design.I weighed a 19" wheel today from our 24 CX T.
62#s as mentioned. Yikes. It the tire weighs 29#' then the wheel weighs 33#s.
I'm going to order a set of 19 x 8 +45 flow formed wheels. They weigh 25# each. 32# of unsprung weight can only help.
The wheels are being shipped from Japan. 8 to 12 weeks.
My wife doesn't like the shape or color of the OEM 19". They will be FS soon...
We picked a flow formed wheel for strength and weight.What wheels did you end up ordering? Depending on the design, that sounds a little heavy for a 19x8. Many I looked at were 21-23 lb in 19x8.5. They must have a thick spoke design.
It looks like you have the same wheels as I do. I am also not a fan of them, whether it be their looks, their weight, or in how tedious they are to clean.
I don't think matching wheel design with body style has been Mazda's strong point with these cars. There are too many hard angles and straight lines, which don't match up with the car at all.
Thank you. There are SO MANY options. I'm happy to finally make a choice, right or wrong!That is going to be awesome. Enkei are legit. I just couldn't find any in my size and offset (19 or 20x8.5-9.0", +45). I'm sticking with 245 width tires for fitment and handling. When you go wider the tire sort of balloons on the wheel and handling gets mushier. Plus at 9 inches in width you need to watch out for rubbing on the suspension. I chose by picking a tire size that was at the upper end of the recommended rim width range per Tire Rack's videos on lap time testing. Also for speedometer accuracy 245/50/19 and 245/45/20 are spot on.
