Do you want to do fender modifications for the wheels to fit without rubbing? Do you care about the tires rubbing on the rear fenders/front fenders?

I had 15x7 +13 and I rarely rubbed with 195/45 Toyo Proxes Tires.

Rubbing don't bother me nor does tire wear I'm pretty good at rolling my fenders.. Just looking in the fender wells there isn't much room for bigger rims if slammed I'm lookingnfor a aggressive look don't care about ride quality

The only colors that I consider "girly" on the 2007 Fit are White and Tidewater Blue. If your Fit has tinted windows, it usually makes it more manly looking. I suggest a rim that has enough metal on it to be quite strong, yet stylish at the same time. The last thing you need is a rim that is stylish but not strong enough to take a bit of punishment while commuting long distances. I've seen some rims that got destroyed by hitting a dip at a moderate speed because they didn't have enough metal to take the shock. Tires with an extremely low profile will also cost you more in gas as well, so a balance with size and style is the key. If your 2007 has a TPMS unit, you'll need to transfer the sensors from your current wheels to the new rims. If not, there are some metal stems that will add style and make it safer at the same time.

Yea..... I bought the car with the windows already tinted. And as for tires im really staying stock rim size just going wider and more aggressive look stock tire size just streached a little.. And im not buying cheap china wheels..
