Would these rims fit?

It's a 17" gunmetal 5zigen typhoon

17x8
bolt pattern: 5x114
offset: 43

I'm looking to pick up a used set from a fellow rsx owner.
Hopefully it's okay with the 8 inches and the 43 offset.

Also, one rim hit the curb slightly. Is that bad enough to just walk away from the deal? Thanks

Also, these rims will come with a set of ziex 512 already mounted. The specs for the tires are: 215/45/r17

BTW, It's for a 2005 Mazda 3 GT Sport.

Would it rub at all?

Here's a pic of the rims:

Thank you

 
Nice looking rim, and if the price/deal is right it would be worth a try.
215's on an 8"?  The tire would only be <1/2" wider than the wheel width.  Could be a little narrow, but should work.  I had 215's on the OE 6.5" rims and they fit nicely.
Also the 45 aspect ratio will make your speedo read higher than your actual ground speed. A 15.66 rev/mile difference, or about 1.27 mph difference @ 65mph... more the faster you'd go.  Less the slower.
The 8" rim/+43mm offset (OE is +52.5mm, but w/a wider 8" wheel you might need the extra room behind) could pose a minor rubbing problem, imo.  'Might have to roll fender lips in order for them not too rub, especially w/weight in the car.
Would you be allowed to try them before you commit to the deal?

hmmm RSX rims for a mazda3... well tahts different.

Thanks for the replies. Yes I can try them on before I buy. How would I go about checking it if I put it on?

Well, 1. with the car on the ground and the suspension settled in, put your hand behind the wheel to feel how much space is between it and the strut and other suspension component. 
2.  Ask three or four friends to ride along w/you as you drive around bends and over bumps, etc...
Common sense stuff mostly, but basically whatever you can think of that might challenge the suspension w/the new wheel/tire combination on it.
 
. 

Here are the figures off of the Wheel offset Calculator
The clearance from strut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 10mm LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 28mm

You would want to check on the front from full lock to full lock to see if it is going to hit and on the front and rear to see if the fender is going to bottom out on the tires.

 
Nice link, Siber!!  I LOVE stuff like that.  Saved to favorites. 
 

nerd

I found it on the M3 forums from a Link that icspots gave me on the stereo, lot of cool stuff over there, BTW I saved it also

Jamie anything you can use once yourself and was tough to find is worth saving, someone down the road might need it and saving is a lot better than looking again.
So not a Nerd, informed is the correct word

Mine might say 07, but it is 12 days old

1. mine says uhmmmm 08 and i got it september 5th woot. so wait wouldnt that mean that your car would have been sitting there for a while... cuz now they are making the 08s and no longer the 07s? im nopt too sure what the issue is on that
   

Actually, by build date yours would be newer (02/07 on mine), but first titled date mine would be, so I guess it would be a push then.

hmmmm we could compare.. i have an idea ROCK PAPER SCISSORS LOL
