Mazda 3 Sedan (BM) Tire Sizes and Rim Specifications by Year and Trim
The Mazda 3 Sedan (BM), produced between 2013 and 2019, features a variety of tire sizes depending on the model year and trim level. Standard trims often use 16-inch rims with tire sizes around 205/60R16, while higher trims and sport packages typically feature 18-inch rims with sizes like 215/45R18.\n\nRim widths generally range from 6.5 to 7 inches across different trims, ensuring proper tire fitment and performance. It’s important to verify your specific trim’s factory tire markings to maintain handling and safety standards.\n\nWhen comparing trims, consider that Mazda balances aesthetics and performance with rim diameter and tire width. Lower trims provide better ride comfort with modest tire sizes, while sportier trims emphasize grip and style with wider, lower-profile tires.\n\nFor practical purposes, always cross-check the tire sidewall markings (width, aspect ratio, and diameter) against the rim width to ensure compatibility. This prevents issues like uneven wear, reduced handling, or incorrect speedometer readings.
