How important is offset?

Can I just find a new set that's the same size as stock (15'' i think) and throw them on there?

Will i have to get them balanced?

Will my stock tires fit the new wheels?

any help will be appreciated

Try visiting Discounttiredirect.com and tirerack.com to view the wheels visually and 'on your car'.

Offset is key and 45 mm is best. discounttiredirect has listed offset for years so you can query 4x100 BC before checking if the dish clears. That you'll have to get info from seller or that wheel website for fitment.
tirerack has recently listed offset. And 7" rim width is a good choice for all Fit tires.

205/50x15, 205/45x16 and 195/40x17 are good choices for tires on matching wheels of course
