Ugh another newbie... lol I just bought the 07'mazda 3 i touring yesterday.. i previously had a 04 altima. I put rims on the altima... does anyone know if this will be a clean switch to my mazda or is the pattern different? if not i have a set of rims for sale haha ... also I need to get a dash kit because I have a stereo i need installed ... i saw the dash kit for the 6 was about $230 - at circuit city.. they told me they were pretty sure the kit for the 3s were about the same price... can i get the kit cheaper anywhere else? thanks in advance for any info!

5x114.3 to be exact mate.
and the offset seems about right... max +52
(i think my rims are +48 or 45, and they look great

Are all of them 6.5", or only the 17"er's?
He's got a 3i and probably has 15'er's, or if the power/sport package, the 16"er's.

The dash kit you can get on ebay pretty darn cheap and in my personal opinion if you don't have 19in rims on your 3 then your rims look small. So if your altima didn't have 19in rims then sell 'em lol my opinion again. There was a guy that had 20in rims on his 3 but it looked ghetto has hell and the ride quality had to have been terrible.

I believe both the 16 & 17" rims are 6.5" wide (I know the 17 are 6.5" wide, I went to Mazda6 17's to go to a 7" wide wheel.) I didn't measure them yet, but I believe my stock 15" wheels were 6" wide with a 195 width tire.
