Anybody running Mazdaspeed Protege wheels on their 2nd gen?

I have an 87 Turbo (5 lug of course) and I am getting a set of Mazdaspeed Protege wheels. I was wondering if there will be any fitment issues. Does the lug pattern match up? Would I need spacers? Are they 16s or 17s? are they wider or narrower than TII wheels? Any help on any of these questions would be nice. Thanks.

as far as i know you need spacers cause the offset i believe . plus the hubs i think are a lil bigger on the 7 cause it rear wheel and the speed is front. there was a member that tried though but i think he sold the wheels . it would look good though if you can get them to fit right and they are 17 inch racingharts by the way

They are 5x114.3, but the offset is +55, you'll need longer studs and 15mm spacers.
