My new treasures
BBS RG II Wiser's for the S5 TurboVert. Pages of Google searching, but Wiser's seem not very common. They actually came off a '90 RHD 2nd Gen.
I'll be swapping out the BBS center cap centers for Mazda centers to get the "I didn't know Mazda offered those" Stock look.
For front - 17 x 8 +38ET
For rear - 18 x 9 +38ET
Tire size recommendations (no spacers and no fender rolling)?

Thanks Jaime.
The Victoria Secret model problem was an unexpected side effect. But my loving wife is very understanding.
I was thinking 225 45's on the front and 255 40's on the rear so long as spacers aren't required. Remind, all four are 17's, just the rears are 1 inch wider than the fronts.
To go 35's and stay near stock diameter, I'd have to go up to 285's.

I'm too lazy to double check this on a tire calc. for total wheel/tire diameter between fr/rr but this looks about right. Nice rims Hozzy! Unless you have major power I might recommend stepping down to 255 or 245 in the rear to avoid getting unseersteer w/ 225's up front.

I miss typed. They're 17's all around, just one pair 8's and other pair 9's.
And does 250 HP, 236 torque to the wheels fall into the major power world?
