protege 14'' alloys

[big_ty2003]

Do 14'' 7 spoke protege alloy wheels fit without spacers. Got a line on a cheap set and would like to know if possible. Thanks. I did a search and couldn't really find anything.

These would be going on after an aspire swap.

they are 5.5 inches wide and a +45 offset.

They probably need spacers, or aspire rear struts.

I am going to do adjustable coilovers with upgraded shocks/struts

[gorgonheimer]

Are you using the mirage struts on the rear?

[big_ty2003]

I have festiva kyb gr2's new in the box, but I was thinking about ditching them for the mirage agx's rear shocks and gr2 323 struts up front.

I would be worried that the offset might cause interferance with not only the strut but the control arm for the rear end itself. Are you able to try one one the car before buying them?

[big_ty2003]

isn't it the same width as the miata daisies and a similar offset? They are in Roseville, Ohio
so not exactly around the corner and I don't have the aspire swap yet

You are running 6" wide wheel right brian with +38 offset? I thought with the 1/2 inch narrower wheel that would give me an extra +12.7mm to play around with?
I don't know though I could be not thinking correctly.

I would have to echo Brian's thoughts about the clearance at the swing arms. With a 38mm offset on 5.5" wide rims and 175/70/13 tires, mine were VERY VERY close to the swing arms.
