Hello All,

I am the first time owner of a '05 Mazda 6i (Sport) with stock 17in. alloy wheels. I am looking at relacing the wheels with a compatible 17in. at a medium price. Are the Ford Fusion alloys offset OK? ... also any recommendations are welcome.

Thank you in advance,
George B

 

Hmmm.... Well, the 6 is a little difficult. The OE offset is +60mm (a lot!!) which is nearly impossible in an AM wheel.
You could probably go to +50mm but you may also experience some weird handling in extreme situations. You would be pushing the wheels out toward the fender a total of 1.27" (.635"x 2.)

 

Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if Fusion alloys fit perfectly...the two cars do share a chassis, after all.

 

hey VB i see that u r from ny .me and my friend just started a mazda club in ny we meet on thursdays at forest park lot or at 8:30 pm at the shell gas station on woodhaven and myrtle ave

 

Not to thread-jack...

Thought you meant Forest Ave. for a second...I'm out in SI, where there's a Myrtle Avenue as well. And, as you can see, I don't actually own a Mazda, nor am I a fan of the BQE tbh with you. However, since you're in Queens, you should try to get into contact with Speedy3 (Haroon), he lives in Queens somewhere and has a Speed 3.

 

Hello VB,

FYI. I am finding out that the Ford Fusion has a different offset than the Mazda6, at least on the 16 x 6.5 steel wheels (42mm for Fusion and 55mm for Mazda6). I'm assuming (?) there is a similar difference for the Fusion and Mazda6 17 x 7 alloys ?
