Mazda 6 rims will they work?
17 inch x 7 inch rim 60 mm offset 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern Hub Size 67mm with 235-45-17 tires. The lug nut specification for the mazda 6 rims are 21mm
12 x 1.5 thread. Will the svx lug nuts work or should I buy after market ones? Thanks for any and all help.

If you get like a +5 spacer then they would be perfect as for the lugs get ones that work on the SVX threads but are made for the wheel (acorn, flat, etc.)

To answer your second question, the Mazda 6 rims are 17x7" w/ +60mm offset, as opposed to the stock wheels which are 16x7.5" with a +55mm offset. Plug these values into the following wheel offset calculator: http://marksink.com/tire_wheel_offset/offset.html And you will get the following results: The clearance from strut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 1mm MORE; The outside edge of the wheel will RETRACT in towards the body by 11mm -Chike

Thanks, Chike. Will these wheels be safe to use without the spacers?

-Chike P.S. One more thing to think about. If the wheels retract in by an additional 11mm, there may not be enough clearance between the front brake calipers and the inside edge of your wheels!

not to mention it will look dumb. The wheels are only 7 inches wide... 7 in wheels are not really great of an SVX.. I have them now
