      3.5 gen Protege hubs? Just a thought, I don't actually know if they'll fit the 2nd gen. Research time!

          I think the P5 had 5-lug and pretty sure the MP3 did too. Try it out. You don't need to get all four, just get one and experiment. If it works, get the other three.

          Or you can just get and adapter, but hen you have to make sure the wheel offset is correct. I think the adapters are an inch or two thick.

            maybe over the winter when the car is down

            as for the adapter, i've already considered that but would end up with too much poke at the end.

            i searched somewhere and seen rx-8's to be 18x8 +50

                    for the front to get the 16x7 +25's to fit did you have to roll fender or anything? and what size tire are you running?

                      no work what so of, and doesn't rub either. a little too safe for my likings though. i'm either going to put 10mm spacers. of just get 16x8 + 0 for the front as well.

                            Oh, my bad.
                            Currently Running 205/50/16 all the way around.
                            I want to switch it up to 195/45 or 195/50.
                            Again, no rubbing issues but i'd like more slammage and more poke.

                              damn why'd i say 205/50
                              it's actually 205/45

                              just to show how much of a fender flare i have. this is the stock wheel.



                              and i also tried the 8" 0 offset wheel up front.
                              I believe with a 195/ 40 or 45 and a couple degrees camber i can make this work.
