Ugh another newbie... lol I just bought the 07'mazda 3 i touring yesterday.. i previously had a 04 altima. I put rims on the altima... does anyone know if this will be a clean switch to my mazda or is the pattern different? if not i have a set of rims for sale haha ... also I need to get a dash kit because I have a stereo i need installed ... i saw the dash kit for the 6 was about $230 - at circuit city.. they told me they were pretty sure the kit for the 3s were about the same price... can i get the kit cheaper anywhere else? thanks in advance for any info!

 

after reading the forums over and over again. It is engraved into my head. Your pattern needs to be 5x114. Forgot the offset, think the max is +52

 

5x114.3 to be exact mate.
and the offset seems about right... max +52
(i think my rims are +48 or 45, and they look great

 

5X114.3 (4.5") OEM ET +52.5mm.

 

Stock Mazda3 wheel width is 6.5"

 

Are all of them 6.5", or only the 17"er's?
He's got a 3i and probablyhas 15'er's, or if the power/sport package, the 16"er's.

 

The dash kit you can get on ebay pretty darn cheap and in my personal opinion if you don't have 19in rims on your 3 then your rims look small. So if your altima didn't have 19in rims then sell 'em lol my opinion again. There was a guy that had 20in rims on his 3 but it looked ghetto has hell and the ride qualityhad to have been terrible.

 

I believe both the 16 & 17" rims are 6.5" wide (I know the 17 are 6.5" wide, I went to Mazda6 17's to go to a 7" wide wheel.) I didn't measure them yet, but I believe my stock 15" wheels were 6" wide with a 195 width tire.

 

this is what I put on my 3i it came with the 15" wheels. pulled them off the 1st week I got the car and dumped them in the trash. my next tire setup will be one size wider.
