Replacing a Wheel
Always use wheels of the correct size on your vehicle:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is dangerous. Braking and handling could be affected, leading to loss of control and an accident.
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely affect:
-
Tire fit
-
Wheel and bearing life
-
Ground clearance
-
Snow-chain clearance
-
Speedometer calibration
-
Headlight aim
-
Bumper height
-
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (Some Models)
-
When replacing a wheel, make sure the new one is the same as the original factory wheel in diameter, rim width, and offset (inset/outset).
-
For details, contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Proper tire balancing provides the best riding comfort and helps reduce tread wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause vibration and uneven wear, such as cupping and flat spots.
