Question Stock Mazda 6 17" Rims???

I found a deal on a set of stock 17" mazda 6 rims with nearly new 215/50/17. $400 I can't give it up.

I have a 94 ES300 and was wondering if anyone knows if this will fit. I know the bolt patterns are 5x114 and I read on another website that the offset for the mazda is 50mm.

Let me know your thoughts.

Depends on how wide the wheel is. I would imagine with a 215 tire it isn't more than 7", so with an offset of 50 you will be pushing it. I have 17x7" wheels with an offset of 45 and 225/45 tires, and only have a little room to spare in the back before touching the strut. Worst case you might need 3mm spacers.

The rims are 5 spoke. Here's picture and I think they'll look decent.

What's the offset on the stock 15X6 wheels for the 94 ES300?

Oh, yes the width is 7 on the mazda 6 5 spoke.

I just noticed this on the guy's for sale note: 17x7 5x100/114.3 ET42

If I'm not mistaking the ET is the offset and in this case 42?

5-star wheels look awesome on the ES. Good choice.

I got mine to fit with a 55 offset how wide are they you prob could get away with a spacer and possibly longer studs?

I didn't want to deal with spacers and longer studs it just means more work. I'm lazy........I meant I don't have the time to do extra work.

I just want something stock so that I don't have to take them out during the winters, etc.

The tires were practically brand new. Still had the rubber hair stubs on it, size is 215/50/17.

How much were you of by and how wide are they?. You may just be able to use a spacer and not longer studs and a spacer doesn't require any more work to put on.

Your best bet is to just stick with Toyota/Lexus OEM wheels. There are plenty different ones to choose from anywhere from 16" to 18" and you will have a lot less trouble with fitment. Try searching around for Camry/Avalon/Solara rims or even newer ES wheels.
