Any advice greatfully received [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o< [-o<

The wheels will slot on fine but the tyres (at least 2) will likely need changing.

The load rating on the Mazda 6 is 91. All four are likely to have these on.

Bongo tyres are rated at 92 front / 96 rear.

You can get away with 91s on the front but the back ones will split on the inner walls rather quickly if not replaced.

Expect to pay anything up from £100 for a pair of 17's on a 96+
