I tried posting this in the wheel section and Vert suggested posting it in the speed section. I've been looking for a good set of rims for my speed6, and I was wondering if these would have any hope of fitting. there gramlights 57f's and there size is 18x8.5 5x114.3 +45 I can get a really good deal on them if they would fit some how.

yes they should fit. the rim is wider (7.5 stock) and offset is +50 stock, so you might rub if lowered, but i think it should fit fine

Sorry to butt in, but your info is incorrect IMHO.

Stock - 18x7J, +55 215-45-18

Ordering wheels tomorrow what size do i need for my speed 6 to use with stock tires????

To my knowledge, I've never seen anyone put wider than a 8" rim on a MS6... I'm not sure if that would work...

i've tried a 8.5 with a 45+ it's rubs

Will they allow a test fit? You may have to roll your fenders, but If you're spending 1500+ on rims, I imagine you don't mind paying another hundred or two to ensure proper fitment.

what is the exact size i would need to use my stock rubber? when going with aftermarket wheels? :laugh:

you can go up to 7.5" to be on the safe side.

 

[mazdaspeed210]

up to 7.5 only so a 7 would work??? and what is the offset

 

[awdterror]

i can fit a 8.0 wide with 38+ with rolled fenders a 8.0 45+ will fit without fenders rolled

Haha im trying to get answers without sounding noob...and I know there are probably unlimited options on this but what my question is . Im buying rims and want to use the stock tires. what is the size i need to get when ordering the wheels. basically what im asking is what are sizes of the stock rims. offsets and sizes.

 

[david097]

the stock wheels are 18's 7.0 wide with a +55mm offset, the stock tires are 215,45,18's

 

[mazdaspeed210]

of these sizes which ones will fit without rolling or any problems and with stock rubber ?

[david097]

I'm not sure if any of those would fit, think you need to have at least a +48 offset to fit without rubbing. but maybe someone can chime in and say for sure.

I think you will be OK with a 45 offset. That is what I was going to go with until I found a 5 spoke rim in 48 offset that I like better.

 

[mazdaspeed210]

yeah its because im getting them tomorrow and i dont want to end up with rims i cant even use

If you do a search you will see that several are running 45 offset. If your car is not lowered you should be fine with the stock 215/45/18 tires.
