Exclamation Konig Feather 38+ Offset Question!

Hi i want to purchase som konig feather rims 15x6.5 38+ offset for my 08 fit sport but the ppl at discount tire say that these rims do not fit based upon their fitment guide. I saw a guy on this forum who has them on his fit. Does anyone have any input as to whether or not these rims will work for me?

also im fixing to drop it 1.5 inch not sure how this will affect application of those wheels either.

thanks for any help

john

what size tires? what drop? You should be okay based on your tire size.

I'm currently rocking 15x8 +15 wheels with 185/55/15 tires (and a camber kit in the front to give me some negative camber) and i only have rubbing in the rear occasionally.

Are you referring to the feathers or the heliums?

No worries. In future, you can use this guide to help spec and compare wheels/tires : Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com
