XXR 522 fitment...

XXR 522


was curious if anyone here knows, what's the perfect fitment for these on the Fit? my ride is currently sitting on some Megan Racing Full coilovers. i'd like to get these in 16x7... or even 8 if possible. but im just wondering what offset to get these in... suggestions and comments are welcomed!


sooo.. if i get 16x8... what offset? and vice versa 16x7.

While I agree that these wheels are very stylish, the max offset listed is +25mm - nowhere near the 45mm recommended for use on a Fit. I predict massive rubbing...

Shame, really - when I first saw these some time ago I really liked the look.

you're going to need a lot of work to make those fit. With a max offset of only 25mm and lowered, you're going to rub for sure. So regardless of size and width, lots of work.

So either a wide body kit or pull and roll your fenders. If you do make it work, they're going to look sick.

so if i did the minimum of 16x7.. and then +25... there's gonna be rubbing? i just wanna tuck tire when lowered. right now, im lowered, but it just im not tucked on these megan coilovers, even though im all the way down.

anyway, back to the rubbing issue.. the tires i plan on using will be the Falken Ziex 512. 205/40/16. and as far as camber, i know im gonna have to at least do like 1.5 degree all around just so it may clear some of the rubbing. but like ya'll think it'll be bad?


here's some shots ive found...


16x8 +25



16x8 +0


what ya'll think?

25 would be the safe offset without killing your fenders. You will need to do the DIY camber trick in the rear. IMO I don't really like the rims. The new konigs look a lot nicer but good luck on your decision.

I'm on Megan coils and I know I can tuck a lil tire and im not even all the way down

The rims are sick...If you want the 0 offset then you will have to go rear camber and that stretch tire look with rolled/pulled fenders. I love 15's and meaty tires so I went with 15x7 +25 lowered to about 3 inches from the ground, skunk2 proC. Go with 16s for sure if you don't plan to go that low. Hope that helped your decision...
