Needing some guidance on wheel and tire size
 

Greetings

I own a 2018 Mazda CX-5. The stock wheels are a 17” and the tires currently my wheels are 225/65R17 (currently my winter tires). I am interested in getting another set of wheels, so I don’t need to keep swapping my summer and winter tires on the same wheels (my summer tires are needing to be replaced soon BTW). When I review www.wheel-size.com, my stock rims are the following:

• Center bore - 67.1 mm
• Bolt Pattern - 5x114.3
• Offset Range - 43 – 47

For the wheel width, OEM appears to be 7”, however there appears to be a 7.5” option for a OEM 19”

I am considering moving up a wheel size, going up to an 18”. The one issue I am finding is that most aftermarket wheels are not available in a 7 or 7.5 inch. Most are 8 or 8.5 (especially the flow formed rims). I am interested if I can get away with an 8” wheel. This is the one I am specifically interested in - Fast Wheels Impression Gloss Black - F265U-1880-65BN+45F671 (canadawheels.ca)

I am hoping someone can confirm if the wheel I have linked to would work on my CX-5. Can my CX-5 accept a 8" width wheel? If it does, what would be the ideal size tire that would have the same diameter as my 225/65R17 so that my speedometer isn’t out of whack.

After looking at tire prices, it appears that 19" tires are actually cheaper that 18". Possibly 19" is a more common size tire. If this is the case, could I still get a 19" rim that is 8" wide on a 2018-CX5?

I have the GT version, same model year as yours. It has the stock 19" rims. I like how it rides and handles. I think you would like them.

You can use rim sizes 17"-18"- 19" and 7" & 7.5" width tires.
8" width tires will not fit without modification.
