M3 wheels on P5

[skibum]

Does anyone know if the M3 wheels (17\") will fit on an MProtege5?
The service rep at mazda said that the M3 is a 114 w. a 50 offset and the MProtege5 is a 114.3 w. a 55 offset and as a result the setup will not work. However, i\'ve seen this setup on the road and am wondering if anyone has any oppinion on this.
Thanks.

M3\'s bolt pattern is 5x120 so it won\'t fit..

I think he is thinking Mazda 3 not Bimmer M3 but I could be wrong...

If it is Mazda 3 rims there are guys who have the rims on there Pro 5 but might want to check www.toprotege.net for better results.

Yah they fit but not with the stock 205/50/17 tires. I am quite sure you need to downsize.

Yea, sorry, i meant the mazda 3 not the BMW. I checked out the site you gave me and it was interesting one of the links said the 17\'s will fit - i guess we\'ll see.
thanks
