hi all. so I just got my 2008 mazda 6s VE. my boyfriend is getting tint done for me for my birthday this weekend. next on my list is wheels (rims.) I have a set picked out that I like. but here is my dilemna - I'm not made of money here. the wheels I want are $400 and are 17". stock tires on a mazda are 17'. so, can I keep my stock tires on with the new rims and save a lot of money? I've been told that even though the wheels are 17", they may have different width and other factors than stock tires. does anybody know? help! here is a link to the wheels that I want to get for my mazda:

P125/50R17/XL93V

your OEM tires will fit fine on those wheels... and, the tire size is 215/50-17, not 125/50-17

I'm guessing that was just a typo...

You'll be fine.

Those wheels are 17x7 which is the exact same size as the OE wheels. Your tires will fit the same.

You still might hit your rear finders. My first set of rims had a offset of 45 on they hit on bumps or if there was to much weight in the car. OE offset is 60 so you need rims with a 50 offset. Good Luck
