Winter Tire and Wheel set

Hi Guys,

My first post to the forum. I just replaced my 06 Mazdaspeed 6 with an O6 G35X.
I have a set of winter tires and rim that I used with my speed6.
Wheel: Kazera 17x7. I am not sure but I believe the offset is + 50.
Tires: Dunlop Graspics DS2's 215/50 R17.

Do you guys think they will work on this car? I am concerned about the offset and the difference in overall diameter due to the lower profile especially since this is an AWD vehicle. The tires have just seen 2 Michigan winters and have a lot of life in them and don't want to loose money.

Thanks,

The tire size and offsets are all wrong. You'll just have to sell those wheels and buy another set of OEM wheels and some winter tires

What is the lug pattern, if it is the same just toss them on? I think if all 4 tires are the same size you will be fine.

I don't think that they will look very good though.

Tires of that size will throw off the speedo by 3.2% but I suppose you could use them. Bolt pattern is 5x114.3 for both cars. The offset is too high but that would probably work too, as long as it doesn't rub on the inside. You might have to put on 5mm or 10mm spacers.
