Will RX7 Alloys fit my Mazda 5?

Hi,

I am looking to upgrade the standard wheels on my 2008 Mazda 5 with alloys and want to know whether Mazda RX7 alloys will fit. Can anyone help?

The specific alloys have the following details:

16 X 8 JJ

Are all Mazda five stud wheels interchangeable?

Thanks

James

The first gens had a different bolt circle, but the second/third gen wheels might fit.
Also, pay special attention to the wheel's offset. Remember an RX7 is a RWD car and usually have less of a negative offset than FWD cars do.
Your wheels should have a bolt circle of 5x114.3 (4.5") and an offset of +52.5mm. though you can get away with +45mm pretty safely. The latter will be imporessed in the back of the wheel, usually w/ET next to it somewhere (e.g. 52.5 et, or et 52.5.)

Here is the picture of the alloys - can you tell if they are 2nd or 3rd gen? Sorry I don't know much about wheels and would not know how to measure the offset etc.

Those are 3rd gen wheels. See if you can test fit them before buying if it is a local sale.

They look right? Even seem to have a deep negative offset.
Again I say, check the back of the wheel for its offset specs. And as Sheldon recommends, test fit them first if possible.
