if you are asking if the Protege rims will fit, they should if they are a 5 lug which i think the P5 is.

if you are asking if the tires will fit, yes, but you will have a few issues:

- stock tire sizes for GXE/GLEs and 95-96 SEs are 205/65-15, 97-99 are 215/50-16 (i think)

doing the math, if you want a 50 series tire in a 15" rim then you will have to go with a wider tire like a 215 or 225. if you want to use a skinnier tire, you would want a 195/75-15.

using the 195/50 tires, you will have speedo error and odometer error as well as it will look funny since they will be so skinny

'97-'99 SE are 215/55/16 but most ppl here have put 225/50/16 on thier stock 16" SE rims and are happy w/ the result

I'd recommend sticking w/ at least the stock size
