Thanks

It can be done yes, but you need to spend some good money and fabing it up to do so. Would there be a advantage to the 5 lug conversion for the time it would cost to make it work? Who knows, but there is no bolt on solution.

incorrect, the protege5 spindles/hubs will swap over, and they are 5 lug

I cant confirm it but when I replaced the CV joints on my car (passenger side had protege parts) it still clicked like the CV was going bad. I swapped over a MX-3 hub to replace the protege parts and it went away.
