Found the wheels I want, but will they fit?

1999 Protege LX
Hey guys, I want to get the Excel TZ-10s from Wheelmax, which you can see just short of halfway down the page here. Thing is, I don't know what my lug/bolt pattern is on my '99 LX w/ stock 14" hubcaps. In fact, I have no idea what that even means. These wheels come in 4x100 and 4x114.3. Will they work?

Also, will getting these wheels raise my car at all? I wasn't planning on dropping it, but if it goes any higher than it is now (stock), I may have to.

Thanks.

I appreciate the advice, but who else has such good prices? I haven't researched enough places, but I LOVE these wheels and the price is very friendly.
 
the wheelmax site ISN'T giving you a CRITICAL piece of information....the wheel offset. YOU MUST know what the offset is and ensure its proper before you order ANY wheels...or you just very well may end up with wheels that will bolt on....but the tire won't turn because the offset is wrong and it RUBS LIKE A b****.
 
You can get similar looking wheels at Whalentire.com They specify offsets and bolt patterns so you know you're getting the right fitment. Also they ship within a week if they are in stock. My new rims came from them in 2 days. Instead of 3 months, you choose.
 
With 4x100 you don't have the same issues you do with the P5. A +40 7" wide wheel will work. Also a 7.5" +45 will work. That's all I have to say about that. There's a reason their prices are so cheap. you always get what you pay for. All comes down to knowledge and service.

BTW, excel is their own wheel line. So you gotta buy from them. That sucks.
 
i got mine from whalentire -- the only down fall was i had to have them rebalanced -- but it was only 40 bucks to do so -- so not really a big deal -- great service and fast shipping :)

Whatever you do, DON'T order from Wheelmax. Price be damned, they will dick you around until you don't know which way is up.

Just do a search on wheelmax and read some of the horror stories that people have posted, then order from AutoRnD. Contact Rishie and he will hook you up.
