Max wheel size

I just bought an `07 mazda6 touring edition 2.3, and I'd like the dealer to upgrade me to 18" RX-8 magsinstead of 17", will this cause any problems?

Thanks,

The only issue I had, but keep in mind my 6 was lowered, was I had to trim my fender wells back to avoid hitting the tire. Once that was taken care of I had no problems!

45 offset usualy fits but it depends on the tires you choose some are slightly different size.. but if you want it to definately not be an issue go with 48+ offset

largest possible size is 19', but that'll require rolling the rear fenders
IMO id go with 18's largest.

if ur going with 18's, it should be a 7.5' wheel with 235/40/18 tires.

All depends on the width of the wheel, the offset, and the size of the tire.

My wife's 6 Sportwagon with RX-8 18x8 wheels and 225/45R18 tires don't rub at all.
