Will they fit on a ms6 - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

picked up a set of platinum attitude wheels with a +38 offset. I was wanting to put 225/40/18 winter tires on them, with the fenders rolled do you guys think they will fit. If not they will be for sale or trade. thanks

Good luck, you need to fold the fenders under!

I think they would fit, but there might be a little rubbing.

I am not sure if the MS3 have more space in the fender than MS6 but this guy mount R18x8,5 Offset 40mm with Hankook K104 245/35 without problem. 3 person in the back and nothing (according the guy).

Just don't. That's crazy low. Just find a wheel with a greater offset (and width) and widen your tires. No offense, but wider contact patch is better than putting on ugly wheels anyhow.

The offset is huge. You may even have to pull the fenders out a little. I would go with something smaller in offset, but if you like these then go for it, just be aware of the consequenses. Make sure you get the proper bolt pattern too. Just because they are 5 lug rims doesn't mean they are the proper meaured bolt pattern for the 6. Make sure you get a 5X114.3 bolt pattern.

well he said hes putting on winter tires so wider is not always better.

to OP: youll have to roll your fenders but someone just posted +30 18x8 225/40/18 wheels and tires on his ms6.

90% sure you will get rubbing the back on bumps, 99% sure with passengers in the back. If you roll completley, almost need to get it flat, you may have a chance to escape the rubbing, but with passengers, maybe a lowered car, you are almost done.

Comon you dont think those wheels look that good to put them on do you?

yea, their not the best looking rims but for the price I got them for I couldn't pass them up for winter wheels, right now its a dam blizzard out there. man this is crazy ass weather, but any way back to wheels. they do fit the bolt pattern 5x114.3 but sounds like to much of a hassle for them to work. I also want to lower the car. so I will look for some stock wheels or stick with a 48 or 50 offset and sell these. thanks everyone for all the info.
