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)?

Thumbs up RB Cat Back treasure

That VERY SPECIAL treasure is already mounted/displayed on my DD AutoVert.

Since installing, Victoria Secret models keep checking out the Vert.

Tire sizes you should run:

225/45/17, or 235/40/17 F (If you use a spacer you can squeeze a 245/40/17)

265/35/18 R

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 would run in the front 235/40/17 in the front and 265/40/17 in the rear. You are going to need a hubcentric spacer to fit those rims properly.
Thanks Robert

Ops I just noticed that they were 18's in the rear. You are going to need a 35 series in the rear. Your setup is like mine. I ran a 255/35/18 .
Thanks Robert

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?
