1st Gen TSX wheels on Mazda Speed 6?

I have 215/50/17 snow tires mounted on steelies which I used on my first generation TSX. I have someone who currently drives a MazdaSpeed6 interested in purchasing my tires+steelie rims. Would he be able to use my wheels on his MazdaSpeed6? I think the stock spec for MazdaSpeed6 is 215/45/18 with 5x114.3 bolt pattern. I just want to double check before I have this guy come and pick them up. Thanks!

The only potential issue would be the wheels clearing the MS6 calipers since they're a lot larger than the TSX ones. The offset should be about the same though for both so it's likely they'll fit right on.

Thank you! Does Mazda 6 (not the speed 6) have calipers about the same size as the TSX?

I don't know for sure but I'm assuming they'd be about the same size.

I could swap my snow tires, on black steelies and on Motegi 7's, between my 06 TSX and an 05 Mazda 6, but I needed hubcentric rings for the TSX. So, what is the centre bore size of your rims? It looks like the Mazdaspeed6 has a 67.1mm, and the TSX a 64.1.

I had a regular mazda6 and a tsx, and they're both about the same size. Both have 17" wheels and weren't pushing it with the brake size, so I'd assume they'd fit
