I have a set of 14" steelies from my 626 that I was going to put on . I know the bolt pattern is the same , but I wondered if anyone else had gone down to a 14" set up .

yes, my friend rolls on 14's as his winter setup for the p5.

perfectly fine, just get a tire with a 65 profile...

The 65 profile will bring it as close as possible to the original tire diameter, so that your speedometer and odometer are accurate.
