sorry, didnt mean to come off like an ass.

I'm sure its possible but your going to have to:
1) make sure you have the right offset. (factory is +55mm)
2) roll the fenders or you might get rubbing from the fenders when you have people/stuff in the rear.
3) play around with sizing of the tires to get them to fit under there.


Just to give you some info on my Fit. we tried +42mm enkeis with the factory recommended 205/45R16's but I had rubbing when two people in the rear, but it was only on bumps when travelling. so i tried to shave the hubs but couldn't for safety reasons. So I just got in a 195/50R16 to see if I can get it to fit inside with out rubbing. If so then Fit owners can get get +42mm on and have no rubbing. but at the same time we loose tread by 10mm so performance might be compromised.

hope this helps.
