15" steel wheel on Mazda 6? - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

Hi all,

New here, and I searched to see if 15" wheel (steel) will fit on my Mazda 6 station but wasn't able to find anything. I already have the wheel and the bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3 and would like to use them.

Will they fit? Will they clear the caliper?

Thanks,

Canuck.

There is one easy way to tell if they fit or not if you already have... I know there are some 15's that do clear our brakes easily enough.

Why 15s....winter tires assumption was correct!!

I did finally try them last night when my wife came back from work and sure enough they clear the calipers just fine.

Winters make a huge difference on this car, the traction control doesn't come on on half as much.

Although I'm a firm believer in snow tires, I though these the 17" M&S would be better seems how they are brand new. (We picked up the car on New Year's eve.)

Thanks,

Stephane.

Your stock tires are crap.
