I am looking to upgrade my wheels and was wondering if ill have to do anything to the car to get them to fit without rubbing?
Konsei K1 TS (17x7)
Offset: 50mm Backspacing: 5.98" Bolt Pattern: 5-114
Rec. Tire Size: 215/50-17
Weight: 13.7lbs.
My car is 2004 Mazda6s
Full Version: Kosei K1 TS will they rub?
Mazda6 / Atenza > Technical / Performance / Model > Mazda6 1st Generation (2002-2008) > Wheels / Tires
They won't rub.
Funny enough, these are the same wheels I'm looking at getting for next season.
I think the stock OEM offset on our 17's is 52mm. The K1's you're looking at is 50mm. They won't rub at all.
Post some pics when you have them installed. I want to get a good idea what these wheels look like.

Actually, the OEM 17" wheels are +60mm offset. You are correct that the +50mm offset wheels should be fine with 215/50R17 tires.
Ummm, I seriously doubt the stock wheel has an offset of 60mm. I'm more than postive it's 52mm. I looked around for wheels alot, and in doing so I researched all the stock offsets for a variety of wheels Mazda offers.
I know my Miata wheels have an offset of 55mm. But the 6 is definitely 52mm.
Regardless, 50mm offset on the Kosei's will be imperceptible when you put them on.
I ran around with RX-8 rims this past season and they have an offset of 50mm. I ran the stock tire size for the RX-8. Never truely appreciated light weight wheels until I went back to the stock OEM wheel for the 6 for this upcoming winter season.
The car behaves a whole lot better. I took a chance on the RX-8 rims because they're a very nice looking OEM rim.
But I would definitely stick with OEM dimensions for the foreseeable future. And definitely a lighter wheel.
I can't wait for the new spring season!

Where are you getting the 52mm number? I've never seen any 1st gen Mazda 6 wheel with that offset.
The 16" and MS6 18" wheels are +55mm, and the 17" has always been +60mm:

The set of 17" Mazda 6 wheels I used for winter a few years ago definitely had greater offset than the factory rims from my car.
I stand corrected.
I must've been hanging out on the 3 forum too long.
Ok, I still want to see some pics of the car with those wheels.
