Lug pattern and size is right, but what about offset.
They are from a 91 rx-7.

Need some snow wheels...

you can slap snows on the stockers if you get another set of stockers?

Rx-7 is a RWD....Wrong offset for sure...I would assume

yeah, looking at it I think its going to be too much offset.

Its too bad, they would have looked nice with some paint.

i think the problem isn't the offset, but the centerbore. I thought someone here a LOOONG time ago went to put old RX-7 wheels on his Pro5 and he had to have the bore machined out. Other than that, they should fit fine.

no.. the problem is the offset for sure... i doubt the hub size is going to be smaller on the rx7 than the protege.

The offset is +40. I've owned the wheels for about a year now. And yes, the center bore is too small. I had to get it machined out to fit the P5 hubs. Otherwise they are fine wheels. Let me know if you might be interested in my set.

damn those RWD bastards. I saw awesome bronze deep dish wheels on a 240SX and it made me wish my p5 was rear wheel drive.. and mid engine :D
