I hate to belabor the point... but...

Even though the MX6/626/Probe all share the same engines and chassis's
(slightly different trannies), an MX6/626 isn't a hatchback like the Probe
so probably doesn't use the same hatch struts.

>From an autox standpoint, the MX6 is lighter and probably has a slightly
tighter rear end since it isn't a hatchback.

But, the Probe GT has 16x7 wheels stock.
