@ gen1mike
Call your local Mazda dealership or Mazda specialist shop near you ,or find someone on this forum with a GSLSE the offset is stamped on the rim it will be a low number like 20 or something.

OR look for a rim specialist in your area tell them you have a 85 GSLSE and you want to know the offset if your looking for rims youwill also need to know the hud bore size.
This matter with some cars/rims.

No? Really? Ask Manntis. I think he has wheels (it might be someone else) with like 38mm for a FWD car on his -SE right now I almost positive its 40mm stock, either + or - I cant remember, but I know theres a 40 in there somewhere.

EDIT: Definatly +40mm

yup... +40.

you can go with 38 or even 35 probably, but any higher than 40 ain't gonna work up front.

Kinda nice that the same wheels for a prelude fit our cars ain't it?

40mm is stock, 38mm with my Enkeis fits just fine...

(for you non-metric types, 40mm is [very] roughly 1 3/4")

should add that I'm talking about 16x7... Offset is dependant on the width of the tire.

well in this case it means the mounting face of the rims is 40mm outward from the center line of the rim
