What is the lowest set of steel wheels I can use on a Mazda 3 mk2 mps. I'm sticking sum winter tyres on but taking alloys off. Will 16" rub on my calipers etc.

yep he did and they were downright dangerous - hence he borrowed my winters!

Technically mx5 16s just clear the calipers, but Id recommend 17s.
