So I was looking for some 5zigen FN01R-C wheels and I noticed that tires.com has them in the 15" and 17" versions for the protege, but not a 16" version - even though they have it in stock. Why is that? Evereything between all three wheels is the same - offset, width, lug spacing. The only thing I can think of would be center bore.

Also, I searched here and found that 4 lug miata wheels will fit our Dx/Lx cars, so I did a search on tires.com and sure enough the 16" FN01R-C's came up for the miata - 4x100 42mm offset and everything. So again, why wouldn't they come up for our dx/lx?

Here's the link with all the sizes

So my question is, is it ok to run these? I ask because I'm thinking of buying some from an '03 civic that are 16x7", 4x100, and +42mm - everything our wheels need to be for an Lx - Right?

They have 215/50/15 tires on them and I plan to run them with a pro-kit. I referenced this post http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=67282&highlight=16X7+sedan
and figured it would work, if I did my math right the wheel/tire assembly should be about 20.2" total for both.

I searched and referenced Rishie's Recipe too, lots of good info but I didn't see the issue with the 5zigen's covered in it so that's why I figured I'd post up this thread.

So any help is greatly appreciated!
