Hey gang,
[New member here. I hope I'm respecting the rule correctly. If no, plz let me know.]
I'm trying to get a set of summer wheels for my 2015 Mazda 3 GS and I'm looking at a set of 18 inch wheels out of a 2020 model.
I did some research and I think I'm going from:
205/60 R16, 16x6.5 ET45 5x114.3
to:
215/45 R18, 18x7 ET45 5x114.3
Am I missing anything? Can I expect this to work easy?
Any help is appreciated.

 

Yes, they'll fit perfectly. No issues at all.

 

Welcome to the forum

Always do as much research as possible and don't rely on a blanket statement like quote: "Yes, they'll fit perfectly. No issues at all." without a member giving some information to support the answer. Mainly becuase you did not state what wheels you are running. So unless the specification can be obtained the sizing you gave is part of the information that needs to be added to other wheel information. Tire size and brand name and style you are contemplating to use may also be helpful to qualify for better answers as well.
You may also try using the Tire Rack to get some information as well?

You may also get lucky and find a member reading this that did exactly to their MAZDA that you are wanting to do to yours. Just make sure they are the same year or at least body type as yours.

 

Mine is a 2017 Mazda 3 Grand Touring.
Like I said, they'll fit.
Just don't cheap out by using Riken or Ling Long tires.
Enjoy!

 

. No one knows who you are as a member yet because you have not posted much yet on this forum to simply trust what you say is good information. I wont comment what I think so far! But This response you posted from you is at least good qualifying information to answer the OPs question .


BTW I am running 18's on my 2018 MAZDA (factory was 19's) but because the OP is a 2015 MAZDA I would not have given an absolute definitive answer.

 

Thanks for the blessing!
