Spatty what are you doing for winter tires?

Tell you what- let's trade cars this winter. I'll buy some 16" winter wheels and tires for your car and report back to you in April! [img]http://coloradomazdaclub.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/338567b8.gif[/img]

[img]http://coloradomazdaclub.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] that would be great!! [img]http://coloradomazdaclub.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

And for you Speed 3/6 guys wanting to know if 16" wheels will clear your brakes (even though Tire Rack says they will), I have the factory 16" wheels in my garage that can be used for a test fit. Finding a set of used 16" wheels on the forums is pretty easy to do and usually they are pretty cheap.

Let me know if anyone wants to do a test fit.

Sure you can test fit them- and my car is 5x114.3. The wheels actually have 2 bolt patterns. I'm not sure what the other one is off hand.

so if you are putting on your snows, then I can "borrow" the RSV's for the winter right? see how they hold up? [img]http://coloradomazdaclub.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

seriously tho, I would love to see how they look on my car make sure they clear the brakes, no rubbing and where the offset is.

Nice try. But no. The wheels have been through one snow storm when I got caught out in a snow storm in an early spring in Kansas. And the tires I have on there now, Tire Rack doesn't recommend using them in cold dry weather, let alone snow.

I'd perfer to do the test fit after I put on the winter wheels. We can put on all 4 so you can get a good idea before you buy.

That is fine no rush, I would probably only need to do one wheel tho.....otherwize I might be tempted to drive
two houses down and park it in my garage [img]http://coloradomazdaclub.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] actually I am not quite that close...

Oh you just gotta bite the bullet and do it,, if you sit there and say your gonna buy them over and over and never do,, then you never will.. just gotta make yourself do it.. I did, and I did it when my wife was 7mths prego.. she bout killed me,, but I dont regret it at all, I love having rims and wouldnt have it any other way..

Nice choice of Tires for the winter.
