    Default 19's on my "05 Maz3 SP23

    So these are the rims im looking to get:

    Tech 9 Tyres - Wheels: TENZO-R Tracer MB



    Ive told they will fit on the vehicle, but to be honest i dont believe them
    Especially after what the last workshop told me with the current wheels i have fitted

    Car is lowered approx 40mm on Teins
    WHat do you think, can i fit these as 19's or are they gonna be too fat ??

    Just found specs:

    19x8.5
    5x100/114.3
    Offset 45
    CB 73.1
    11.33kg

    Not enough info.
    If they are wider than 8" then I don't expect a good fit.
    If they are 8" wide, then offsets of +48 to +52 are good.
    If it was an MPS i'd tell you to run 235/35R19 or 225/40R19
    If it's a +45 offset, then it's a fit, but IMO it's not a great fit, it will need gaurds rolled etc. Any of 'em prob need gaurds rolled.

    I like the look of them Matt, will suit your new paint work nicely

    Nexus' input is valid, you'd need to get some more info on the offset which will in turn help you with tyre decisions. FWIW I've got 19x8 on the Golf with 235/35/19 bumps are more apparent with the 35 series rubber though not too harsh on our roads in Perth

    Agree with the above, the offset and width are going to be the kicker's on whether they will fit, with you car being lowered.

    If you run 235/35-19 tyres you will have the same diameter as stock. 225/40-19 will probably cause you grief though.

    The funny thing is, when I look at your car the last thing I think of is a "lazy owner" What sort of places will do callipers?
    Btw I saw a Holden statesman the other day with the plate "REDEVIL" (without the 3) His car just had rims though and was dirty and boring

    With great power comes great fuel consumption...

    Thanks Mate, there is a few combination's of the plate going around
    Ive had a few contacts to a few places, but am looking to find somewhere closer
    Its not a cheap exercise for a workshop to do either ...

    I can't remember the CB off hand, so can't confirm or otherwise on that.

    I would try to get it in 19x8, and higher offset if possible. 19x8+45 should be good and doable however you'll need gaurd clearance attended to.
    If you go the extra 0.5" @ 19x8.5, the clearance issues might be more than you bargained for. Wheel face will be flush with the panelwork @ 8" wide +45 offset.

    8.5" and they'll stick out another 0.25" - you can pull them in 7mm if you get +52 offset, and the 8.5" wide wheel face would be flush again. Not sure how you'd go for inner clearance then. Might start to rub strut bits.
    2007 Aurora Blue MPS 3 - 18x7.5+48 Enkei RPF1 shod with 225/45R18 - 3.5" ETS TMIC - 75Duro CPE mount - HKS/CPE BPV - 2XS turbo inlet - 2XS short shift plate - 2XS "compact" shortest equal length turbo manifold - 2XS Racepipe - Leather/Aluminium handbrake - Momo shifty knob - 7" touchscreen - JDM Mazda Navigation box - PC based GPS and instrumentation - 36AH reserve battery + isolator
