Will Mazda 3 wheels fit on the Protege5?

[deejayspinz]

I have a 2002 P5 and was wondering if the stock wheels on the 04 Mazda 3 will fit it. (The 17's specificically).

- is the bolt pattern the same?
- how about size? width?

Anybody try this?

If they fit, I will be looking to buy a set (if anyone is selling) - will post to For Sale.

Yeah theyll fit.. Search the forums, there are a few threads on this subject already. I have the Mazda 3 wheels on my 03 P5 with 205/45/17's. Another guy put them on and was rubbing with a 50 series tire. But, his car was lowered 2". My ride is stock... Illl be putting in MP3 springs as soon as i get the chance, hopefully a 3/4" drop wont matter...

Here are some pics of my ride with Mazda3 wheels and 205/45/17 tires on MP3 springs.
