Anyone here ran FD wheels on their 3rd gen protege? I've got a '03 ES and am looking for a lighter and wider factory looking wheel. I've had a couple of sets of FD wheels for my RXs but never was able to fit them on the protege. From what I can tell it can be easily pulled off with a 205 streched on them. Anyone know if you need a spacer?

Thanks. You will have to enlarge the centerbore of the FD rims. The Protege's centerbore is slightly larger than the FD's. I've never tried to fit these on stock struts as I had coilovers already on the car before I ever got the FD rims. Let me know if you have any questions about it.
