I think I have decided on the Enkei FD-05 18x7.5 wheels with a 53+ offset from streetdreams.com in the Black Machined color. Has anyone dealt with them?



First of all, my tire question. What would you guys recommend?

215/45/18
225/45/18
225/40/18

I figured 222/45/18 would be the best, but then again I don't really know what I'm doing :). 225/40/18 definitely had the same type of tires for cheaper in a wheel/tire package, but I would pay more for a better fit.

Also, since the 08 Mazda 6 has a TPMS, how would that work? Can the TPMS be transferred from the OEM wheels? How much does that typically cost?

I would say that 225/45/18 is better than 225/40/18, but that's just personal preference. Either works fine and have their own advantages/disadvantages, but neither is ideal, 225/45 is too big and 225/40 is too small, but I personally would rather go a little bigger than a little smaller.

As for TPMS, you can transfer them over from your OEM wheels if you're willing to go somewhere and have your tires taken off of the rims. It's probably easier to just buy a new set from the dealer, but a set of 4 sensors are usually pretty expensive. I would transfer them over from the OEM rims if you don't plan on keeping them. But if you're keeping that set for winter and this new set for summer, then I'd either get a new set of sensors or just run without sensors and live with the light.
