Replacing a Wheel

When replacing a wheel, make sure the 
new one is the same as the original factory 
wheel in diameter, rim width, and offset.

Proper tire balancing provides the best 
riding comfort and helps reduce tread 
wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause 
vibration and uneven wear, such as 
cupping and flat spots.

Using a Wrong-Sized Wheel:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is 
dangerous. Braking and handling 
could be affected, leading to loss of 
control and an accident. Always use 
wheels of the correct size on your 
vehicle.

A wrong-sized wheel may 
adversely affect:

Tire fit

Wheel and bearing life

Ground clearance

Snow-chain clearance

Speedometer calibration

Headlight aim

Bumper height

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Limited-Slip Differential System

(With Tire Pressure Monitoring 
System)

 

When replacing/repairing the 
tires or wheels or both, have the 
work done by an Authorized 
Mazda Dealer, or the tire 
pressure sensors may be 
damaged.

The wheels equipped on your 
Mazda are specially designed for 
installation the tire pressure 
sensors. Do not use non-genuine 
wheels, otherwise it may not be 
possible to install the tire 
pressure sensors.

WARNING

CAUTION

NOTE

Be sure to install the tire pressure 
sensors whenever tires or wheels are 
replaced.(page 5-27)
