Hey Azi, Thanks for the tip, I'm looking to get a set of 205/45/16 Motegi's that are 16x7, with a 45 offset. Looks like a good deal, rims and tires w/ 75% tread left. Anyone know how deep a penny goes if a low profile tire has 75% tread left??? For the price, even 50% would be ok though.

So I guess no one would disagree that 205/45/16's with a 38 to 45 offset will fit all proteges then. I am buying used very soon and don't want to get screwed.

Thanks only1, thats one thing down. Just looking on tirerack.com for the ProLX, and the 16's they show have offsets from 38 - 45. I'm not trying to disagree, I have no idea what would fit, I'm not sure if tirerack can be trusted 100% or not, but they seem to have a good reputation. Thanks

And lastly, found another set ALT's, 205/50/16 for a great price, and the larger sidewall might be a softer ride, but the 4 bolt pattern is 114.3. From what I've found I need 100, but many rims are listed as either 100/114??? I'm a little confused why that is, can I therefore use the 114's...

Found another set of ALT's, same tire size - 205/45/16, but she doesn't know the offset of the rim. By the looks of things, it could be from 38-45. Anyone know if that would make a difference for mounting on the Protege?

The car is also stock, but you probably figured that out!

Hi all, new here but had a quick question about rims/tires. I tried to find the answers I need through searching this forum but am still left with one question. I need new tires and rims so am trying to buy used via Craigslist, and am looking at a set of Advanti 16inch rims, with 205/45/16...

It looks like other people frequently use a 16inch/205/45/16 rim/tire package on their proteges on this forum. Does that mean its safe to try this on the LX model, with the rear drum brakes? I'm assuming it is but am buying used so I don't want to find out things the hard way. D

Hi all, I'm brand new here so I tried in vain to find the answer to my question by searching this forum and using the net first. I'm trying to buy used rims/tires on Craiglist, but am having trouble figuring out what would fit. If I had the 5 bolt P5 it would be easy to get the OEM rims, but...
