Hey Tomas,
I bought them online from a company in Florida, WHEELMAX.COM, unfortunately they no longer carry OZ's..
Well to answer your question, i bought them last year for my Mazda Millenia.. the size of the tire they said should be 225/40/18...well i traded that car in for my new 6
...then before i installed them i called TIRERACK.COM and asked them if my size rim would fit..they said it would not fit...WRONG!!! It fit just fine and it drives perfectly without any problems...
the wheels that i have weight about 25lbs. you can go to OZWHEELS.COM to get more info on them...and yes i have a pic i took it 2 days ago..i gotta scan it..i wanna see what you guys think of my ride...i think the wheels look SWEET as hell!!!!
Well now i want to upgrade my tires to a size of 235/40/18....i'm PRAYING that they fit..because i find the 225's too narrow..i've seen some BMW's around and that makes me want WIDER tires...

Hi again eduartejr
The original size of your wheels in your 6 was 205/55 R16 or came with the 17?
Mine come with R16 205/55 but I dont see too much space to put a 225. Maybe a 215/17.
I visited tirerack and I saw the Anatres for Mazda 6 in Size 17 x 7 and 18x8.
Yours is 18x8?
Regards
TOMAS

Tomas,
My stock tires were 16, but i sold them back to the dealership...i didnt' need them. They're 18x8..and yes my tire size is 225/40/18, but like i said i'm hoping to upgrade to 235's :-d ...and TRUST me they do fit just perfectly no rubbing or any other problems for that matter.

I visited too many Web searching the Antares but only I saw in Tirerack.
Other Web offer a Free Shipping but not tirerack.

You know that the Konig and TSW are good brands? Are heavier or lighter than OZ
Thanks in advanced

To be honest with you i have no idea about Konig's wheel weight or TSW's. i just know that my rims are pretty heave when i pick them up 25lb per rim. but they're beautiful...and to me no other rims out there that i've seen can compare to the beauty of OZ Antares thats just my personal opinion..but whe i get my pic posted i'll let u know. Hope i answered all your questions.

Well the tires stick to the road like glue which is good. Nothing bad that I have found so far. About rolling the wheelwells up, I took the jack out for the car and raised the car up and stuck a 6" dia. peice of pvc in between the tire and the wheelwell. I lowered the jack just enough to put a little pressure on the pvc and then pried up on the pvc and rolled it over the tire at the same time. It worked great and did not damage the paint at all.

PVC is plastic tubing sometimes used in plumbing a house or for drainage tile. What I did was roll the rear fender up.No my car is not lowered. There are pics at www.mymazda6s.homestead.com

Hey Shawn....i saw your mazda6 page...FUCKING SWEET!! if you dont mind me saying..i had a question..
where did you get that cold air intake? how did you get the MAF of the stock, since it's attached to the "air box"...who makes this CAI?? how much is it? can i install it myself?
And most importantly have you noticed any gains in HP or performance since you installed it..damm dude..your car really looks nice..i have the same color: Steel gray with 18' OZ antares...im getting my springs next week from Durateperformance.com and then i wanted to get wider tires..but i dont understand how wider tires will rub on the top of the fender, unless you're referring to the side of fender since they would only be wider not taller in height?? you feel what im saying??
Well i hope you can answer a few of my q's.
thanks dude

eduartejr, I have found a good, interactive resource for comparing new tires to stock sizes:
http://www.secret-secret.com/turbo/DIY/tir.../turbotire.html
You can see how much bigger or smaller a tire and wheel combo will be and how your speedometer will be affected.

I am waiting to here from the car toy store where I purchased my stuff from and will let everyone know if they can make a DIY cai kit. The filter is from HKS.The cai was totally custom. As for the tires rubbing, you're right the tires are not taller but wider and when I hit a big bump the wheel comes up and scrapes against the top of the rear fender. Now since I rolled the fenders up the problem is almost gone.
