It it a 5 bolt ? It's kinda small and the offset might be a little too high.

55mm means its less sticking out.. Im guessing the calipers wont clear the rims.

heres a tire rack site
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/offset.htm

"The offset of a wheel is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel." I dont think offset actually has anything to do with spoke clearance though?? plus its only 5mm...?? i think im just going to have to test fit one on.....im trying to find some that are for sale on a local protege forum.

thanks for the help, anyone that has any otehr guesses let me know.
