Too big?

The Mazda6 wheels I want for my Mazda5 with a set of 50K mile Goodyears with about 10K miles on them for $150. The offset is close (55 for the 5, 52.5 for the 6). The tires are a little too tall; the 17s on the 5 are nominally 215/45R17s but these are 215/50R17s, which means that they’re about 2.4% larger in diameter.

The only issue I have is that I’ll need to get some TPMS sensors and have them installed; thankfully I’ve got a cheap tire shop nearby that will probably do the labor at a reasonable price.

Just that you’ll be going a couple mph faster than indicated at 60. I can’t imagine that you’ll have any rubbing/clearance issues. Nice price though.

You’re looking at a 1cm difference in sidewall height.. nothing to worry aboot.

Dang. The TPMS deal cuts into that great price. $150 is sure I’ll try it territory!

Even if the tires were junk I would say nice price at 150.

One of the tires is new, the others have about 10K on them. The wheels appear to be in pretty good shape, unlike the set I saw at the junkyard last week that had tons of curb rash.

That’s not a big difference, I’d go for it.

With that percentage diameter distance, how far out will the speedo and odo now be?

I’ve heard within 3% for diameter is okay but I can’t remember where.

I’m almost certain the offset is no big deal.

My miatas stock size is 205/45/17 but I ran 215/50/17s no problem when I was broke and mine is even lowered a little. Only issue might be offset not sure about that but you could fit a small spacer I’m sure.
