17×7 Wheels on a 2014 Mazda Mazda3

Evidence summary

• Documented builds: 6
• Observed range in our build database: ET35 to ET55
• Most frequently documented tire: 215/50R17 (2 builds)
• Axle context: In our build database: 4 documented as square (same size all around); 2 as part of a staggered setup; 5 front-only for this size; 1 rear-only for this size. Rear-only or front-only counts are not treated as square.

Compared with OEM

OEM baseline used for geometry: 16×6.5 ET50

Width vs OEM: +0.5 in

Outer edge 11.3 mm farther toward fender (more outward poke)

Inner edge 1.3 mm closer to suspension (less inner clearance)

Geometry uses the most frequently documented offset when available. It does not mean the wheel “fits” or “will clear.”

Documented offsets

• ET45 — 2 builds (evidence only — no dedicated page)
• ET35 — 1 build (evidence only — no dedicated page)
• ET42 — 1 build (evidence only — no dedicated page)
• ET55 — 1 build (evidence only — no dedicated page)
• Unknown — 1 build

Counts include only builds where offset is actually recorded. Missing offsets are not treated as ET0. Linked offsets meet the size+offset evidence threshold.
