17" wheel on 2019 CX-5 GTR?
Has anyone installed 17" wheels on a 2019 CX-5 GTR? I want to be able to put some 17" snow tires on my wife's new GTR, but I haven't been able to determine whether a 17" wheel will fit over the brakes.

Have a look at your spare tyre and see what size that is, might be 17".

I had not thought about that and I did check. It is a space saver tire sized 145/90x16. So super narrow and tall and probably not enough wheel barrel to be a valid test. But thanks for the idea.

If a 16" rim fits, then that guarantees a 17" rim will also fit. Look for a cheap set of factory 17" Mazda alloys for sale. They will have similar or exact offset as well.

I am also curious about this. I reached out to my local dealer to see if they knew whether 17s would fit with the larger brakes on the CX-5 GTR, and they did not think that they would.

I have relied on TireRack in the past to tell me what will work. They do say that 17" wheels will work on the CX-5 GTR. They don't list any 16".
Are the brakes the same on all CX-5s? If so, I would be comfortable assuming a 17" will work on the GTR if it is standard on the lower trims. |

The front brakes on the Reserve and Signature are slightly larger.

That could explain why TireRack says you can downsize to 16 on the sport but only to 17 on the GTR.

When I had a 2007 RAV 4 V6 I bought steel wheels 1" smaller size than factory and put All Terrain tires on them for winter use. All Terrain tires look like winter tires but last a lot longer and do almost as well. I drive lot in the desert southwest, mostly on dry pavement, so need that extra wear.
Now when I buy my new 2019 CX 5 I'll do the same. Eric B. |
