sy11850, i'm running 205/50/16 all around, 16x7 40offset 4x100, with a 1.8"F/2.0"R drop on eibach sportline springs. i rub hardcore on tiny dips, uneven roads, and hard turns (which is everywhere i go in this city) in the rears especially. i rub so much that both sides of my back bumper are eventually going to come off lol.
if i were you, i'd go with the 205/45/16 or stick with the oem specs but in a 16" diameter all around just to be on the safe side. it's definite that you roll your fenders too.
you'll love 16" on the fit. it looks 10x better bc they're a little bit bigger.
Im not really good with wheel stuff, so i have a question about offsets. I went to look at some Rota Boost today and the shop had only 1 set left with +40 offset. Hes willing to give me a discount on it to get rid of it. My question is what is the difference between a +40 offset and a +45 offset. Does it really matter that much?

yes and no. you should be alright with the +40's. what size rims? 15" or 16"? are you lowered? if so, what springs?
Both of the applications you mention will work fine. Even with the car lowered you will still have the clearance you need. If I can help with the tires let me know.
Yikes. Reading through this thread makes changing suspension and wheels seem really complicated!! I'm getting my car dropped on GF210's, does anyone have a good guess as to whether I'll have issues when carrying several people with the stock rims/tires? The drop is quite small, about 1"-1.5"

you shouldn't have any issues with rubbing, but you might have
issues hitting the bumpstops over bumpy roads if your buddies are
a heavy set.
rubbing occurrs mostly when you run aftermarket wheels and tires
because most wheels will have approx 15mm of wider stance than
stock per side (15mm closer to the fender vs stock). plus people
use higher perf tires which have bold shoulders. a 205 width tire
could be more like 215mm width in actual due to the shoulder design.
car manufacturers typically run conservative offsets because there are
some mountainous areas where you must use chains. that 15mm or so
gives enough clearance so that the chain does not hit the fender liners.

damn, so if I'm looking for for 16by7 wheels with 50 series tires, whats the recomended offset for me not to rub on the fit?
please help, I am getting wheels most likely this saturday.
i'm looking at 15 x 7 with 40 offset and i'd like to run on stock tires and suspension (just want to change rims nothing else)...is this possible without any problems?
