Sure, you can put 20's the new Motegi models are 45mm offset. 235/30R-20 should fit, or if you go 19 try 235/35R-17. 20's are the limit.

How does 20'' wheels fit, if my 18's "supposedly" don't fit according to motegi.
18x7.5 with a 45mm offset.

 

your only going with 20"s? shit...I got 22" spinners wrapped with rubber bands

 

Did you raise your mazda 6 to stuff 22s? I got some I'm trying to do ,there not bands but small tight low profile. Just wondering cant find anything yet to help. Thanks Squeaky

 

Do you have pics posted? I'd love to see them.

 

Straight from Pimp My Ride and with more ground clearance than a Hummer H2...

 

hahaha.

But 20's do fit. Easily actually.

This guy does it all the time:

Please realize that not only will 20" rims destroy any feeling of handling your car has, but it will alos put undue stress on the brakes, giving you fade after prolonged use or cracked rotors. Not to mention lower gas mileage and rob your car of acceleration.

 

Yeah I would hope that everyone knows that to put 20's on this car is purely for show and to not hope to have any performance at all really. haha

This was what I was getting at....

 

 

Go bigger! Maybe you could get your car featured in an episode of "The Flinstones!"

Hey man, pay cash for the car. Finance the rims. That's what I always say.

LOL! But only with the cutouts in the floor for the driver and passenger. I heard that alone will get you an extra 20 HP. If you have some for the backseat passengers, it's another 10HP!! And all natural!!!

235/30R20 may be available in Australia, but no one offers it in the US (it's too big, anyway). 225/30R20 is available only from BFGoodrich in the g-Force T/A KDW and is the proper 25.5 inches tall, BUT the load index is only 85 (too low for the 6, you need a 91). They are $332 each from Discount Direct or $265 from Tire Rack.

Seriously, I'd rethink putting 20's on a 6 unless it's a show car that's never driven on the street.

 

If you like to see what some 20's look like on the 6. Check out this......... http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/426228/2

 

Do realize you will also void the suspension and brake warranty on the car...possibily the axles, and the transaxle.

Technically dealers can even do this with 19's if they want to be aholes, but for damned sure they'll going to try and suck you dry if you've got 20's on. Thats a whole crapload of addtiional unsprung mass and rotational inertia.
