Thread: Can I change the 17 inch wheels on my 2004 Mazda 6 to 15 inch wheels. ?

I was recently in Ohio and ran into someone who pulled the 17 inch rims off her car and put 15 inch rims on it. Since I am sick of paying 0 a set for 17 inch tires would this work on a Mazda 6 2004 hatchback - only thing I can see that would change is the clearance on the brake callipers might interfere. What else could happen here.

it should be alright because it isn't really that big of a difference.

as long as ur going smaller it should work, but your speedometer will be off and you will need new rims.

it will be fine it wont hit the brakes i would get a bigger tyre Profile so it wont sit lower down to the floor

Fouling brakes or suspension could be a problem. What will be a problem though is that downgrading the tires that much will drastically change how the car drives - how it stops, how it handles, how it rides. Remember, you bought the car because you liked how it drove.

It is possible to get a set of P215/50R17 93V tires for far less than $800+ if you do a little shopping.
