are you lowered?

What is it you want to do with the car and have you lowered it? Since the 2001 Protege MP3 used 7x17 wheels and 205/45-17 Dunlop SP9000 tires, I think at least that size should fit. If your car is a sedan and not the a P5 you can probably use 215/45-17 tires as well since the 2003 and 2003.5 MSP used this size. The MSP is lowered slightly. As for larger sizes, some brands of 225/45-17 tires will fit. Other brands will rub in this size.

If you have 48+ offset or higher, 215/45 will definitely fit and 225/45 might fit, but you may need to roll your fenders (very easy, I did it in like 12 minutes)

My wifes car had 195/55R15 and I put a set of 215/40R17 on the car its a perfect match to factory, speedo is exact. and you dont have to worry about brake fade. the factory wheel circumference is 73.63 in, new is 74.67in, thats a difference of 1.39%. the becasue its still set with near stock diameter you still can lower the car. I'm lowering her car this spring 1.4" front, 1.8" in rear, and there shouldn't be a problem
