dangerous. Braking and handling could
be a
ffected, leading to loss of control
and an accident.
CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely
a ff ect:
 Tire fit
 Wheel and bearing life
 Ground clearance
 Snow-chain clearance
 Speedometer calibration
 Headlight aim
 Bumper height
 Tire Pressure Monitoring System
NOTE
When replacing a wheel, make sure
the new one is the same as the
original factory wheel in diameter,
rim width, and o ffset (inset/outset).
For details, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

Proper tire balancing provides the best
