I have seen it done, there are a few members here with 19's. Here's one: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49333
18" is the biggest I like on a Protege.
The wheels look good, but they're too big for the car, imo.
I have a friend w/an RSX Type S. He went from 18s to 19s and he could tell he lost a lot of power. Proteges don't have a lot of power anyway, so why would you want wheels that big to slow you down even more?

uh not everyone cares about speed...id get 18s though.
!9s on a pro would look good if you can find the right offset and some coilovers to tuck the wheel a little. But, you will feel ALL of the bumps, and you will gain about 40lbs of wheight. Im thinkin you will either need to find, or get a wheel shop to machine the wheels to at least a +50 offset but no more than +55. The reason being that most of the 19" rims out there are at least 8" wide, and if you go with more of a possitive offset you will rub on the strut.
My personal opinion, go with 18's, you will not have too much trouble finding a +45-+48 and most of them are 7.5" wide that will give you some room inside the wheel well.

yeah i am looking to get the rh j8s but they only come in 19in or so i am told that is why i was asking if they would fit i understand about the loss of hp but i will keep my 17s for the race nights and the 19s just to cruise on and the shows to just wanted to see if they where driveable or not its really tight down there lol ...

i know 19's have been done on P5s. A friend of mine works at a rim shop. He said that 19's are commonly done on P5s. I've heard some weird rumor that someone has attempted 22's on a P5; however, I really wonder about that one (scrape?) btw, u sure u want 2 do the 19's? our potholes r getting a lil out of hand here.
