Work VS-XX Wheels

Im in the market for some Work VS-XX wheels in gold on a 2009 Tafetta White Fit.

Has anyone put these wheels on their fit yet? If so, are you lowered and what size wheels and tires are you using?

Was thinking of going 17x7.5 +41 with 37mm lip or 17x7.5 +38 50mm lip?
I'll probably be lowering with a set of coilovers and using 205/40 tires.

Any thoughts???

the fit was barely released this week, and dont think many people have wheels on them yet. Im not familiar what will and wont rub on the new model when lowered. If this is anything like the previous gen then you may want to stick to the higher offset.

with the 7.5 front with the 41et you`ll be pushing it ...... More than likely it will be poking out unless you add a $hit load of camber ..and now on the rear you`ll be flush .. But what most of the guys here in Japan are doing is running a 7~7.5 up fron and a 7.5~8 inch wheel in the rear....

I`ll see if I can find some pix

So 17x7 +45 for the front and then 17x7.5 +41 for the rear?

Doing a staggered setup for a FWD car isnt that just wrong? Excuse my dumbness.. lol

But at the end of the day 17x7 +45 all around should be ok, right? and just do the staggered setup if i really want that flush look.

i would just do 17x7 all around and if you want a more flush look in the back just run a small spacer.

i was planning on getting these awhile ago but decided it might be too heavy for daily driving.

these have already been put on a fit

I don`t know if they have been done on an 09/GE fit yet ... but the spacer in the rear is a good option... I would not go more than 8mm if you don`t have to

no not on the 09 it has not or atleast there arent any pics.

you can get them on EBAY for cheap.

id say you can do that since you can change out the spacers and put it to the FLUSHNESS you like

you could easily run a 17x7.5 41et in the front without a shit load of camber.

the only reason id say not to go too wide is cause the car is still new. No need to ruin the fenders yet by pulling them out.


17x7 with 41ET perfect
