    You might want to specify what year your car is.

    while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

      18's might be a bit big on a pro...dave rubs on 15's

        I've seen a few Proteges/323's with 18's. Don't know if they had to roll the fenders in order for the wheels not to rub. I've had 2 sets of 17's on my car and have never had any problems (with a 1" drop). As long as the offset of the wheels and tire size are correct, 17's are doable. Anything above that is way too big IMO. ... unless it's a show car...

            They will, just remember to get the correct offset.
