So im looking to get some rims and the rims im looking to get are 17x9 with a +62 offset im pretty sure im going to need spacers but im not sure they'll evan fit? Can someone plz help me with this!!!!!
 
Going from a 16x6 +50 to a 17x9 +62 will add 50mm to the inside (roughly 2 inches) and add 26mm to the outside (roughly 1 inch). Not sure how it will look. I highly doubt you have the 2 inches of room on the inside. You would need spacers to keep from rubbing the strut, but then you will have a lot of wheel/tire on the outside.

Here is a 17x9 on a P5 and the specs to make it work. Notice the low offset and the negative camber on the rear

17X9 +35 front, 0* camber. 205/40/17
17X9 +10 Rear (25mm Spacer added), -3.0* camber 205/40/17
2" stretch, 1" each side
AAC Rear Lateral Links
BC Racing Coilovers
SPC Camber Bolts

Also, shoutout from NC. I live off highway 67, so I'm not too far from you. I'm on the other side of East Bend in Tobaccoville

A friend in Charlotte has this setup. It looks like the wheels you want and here is proof you can make them work on a protege. I think they are Rotas
