yeah... we have similar offset requirements and sizes. so if theyre 17's and they fit on your 3 theyll fit on the 6.

where you located?

Then people on the 3 forums are wrong...many of us have seen pictures of said 3 wheels mounted and working just fine on a 6. Just search and ye shall find.

How many times must this thread happen?

The Mazda3 uses pretty skinny wheels. You'd be better served putting something wider on the '6. They will, however, fit.

Read carefully. He has AFTERMARKET wheels that he used on his 3. Wants to know if they'll fit the 6.

Good point toyoguy.

Well I guess offset is what's really going to be important then, do you know what the offset of those aftermarket rims are?
