Wheel by wheel: offset and tyres

Each original wheel from Mazda MX-5 is compared with the one from Mazda 929 of the same diameter: how much closer the wheel gets to the shock absorber or how far it sticks out of the wheel arch, and whether the tyre keeps the same overall diameter.

  • ≈6Jx16 ET45 · 195/50R16

    Mazda 929 has no 16-inch original wheel in our data: check the approved fitments and caliper clearance.

  • ≈6.5Jx16 ET50 · 205/50R16

    Mazda 929 has no 16-inch original wheel in our data: check the approved fitments and caliper clearance.

Before fitting the wheels

An identical hub is not enough: offset, width and diameter change the position of the wheel, and larger calipers can touch a smaller wheel. Original wheels often use bolts or nuts with a specific seat: keep the fixings intended for the wheel, with the thread of Mazda 929 (Ecrous - 12x1.50), tightened to the torque shown on its vehicle page. Finally, check that the size is among the approved fitments for your vehicle. This comparison is for guidance only: have the fitting approved by a professional.
