323 Factory Alloy Change

[PsykoMotor]

Hi All,

Wondered if anyone could offer any advice. Im looking to fit wheel : MCAF994 (http://www.mazda.cz/NR/rdonlyres/65C01A ... Wheels.pdf (http://www.mazda.cz/NR/rdonlyres/65C01ABC-A775-4BED-8223-2C6A80A8943A/0/Accessories_Alloy_Wheels.pdf)) to a 323 (BJ).

This wheel is not listed as compatible with the 323, however comparing the wheel/tyre combination with the Wheel and Tyre size calculator (http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp) seems to indicate everything would be ok.

I do not know the offset of the MCAF994 wheel, so its a tough call really.

Checking over the car a few times with a tape measure leads me to feel perhaps the wheel/tyre might be too close to the suspension strut/leg at the rear of the car.

Anyone have any thoughts ? Thanks in advance.

Even if the Wheel is to close at the Suspesion, you can solve that problem with Spacers.

The Offset isn't that problem.

As long as you don't have the 2.0 Sportve you can use those Wheels.

you can fix a lot of things, but it's important that the rim can carry enough weight...

just go to your mazda dealer and ask if they fit... i think they would fit because the mazda oem (aftermarket rims) for the NB, 323 etc. (4 stud) have all offsets between 35-40... i had the design 2 on my 323 BA... and the BA was also not listed but they fit.
