New Fit Owner - Looking for Fitment Advice

I've read pretty much every Aggressive Fitment thread I could find through google and the search feature here, but I'd still like some more input before I decide on a wheel and tire size.

I have an 08 lowered on ksports, tucking the the top of the 185/60/15 tires with the fenders rolled and the inner rear bumper cut.

I see lots of people saying that 16x8 +25 and below will rub, some saying they don't, but pretty much everyone doesn't say how low they are, or if their fenders are rolled/pulled or their bumpers are cut. So the information is kind of confusing to interpret.

I want to run 16x8 +20 or +25 with a 195/45 tire.

From what I've erad I think this will be ok as far as rubbing goes with my fenders rolled and bumpers cut, will it? And will the back side of the rim be rubbing on anything, am I going to have to run spacers?

From what I read 16x8+25 will fit with a roll. 195/40 will be an easier fit. I am in the same boat as you. I have seen 17x7.5 with a 15mm spacer and that is solid, but not perfect.

Using a spacer will add offset to your rims (+40 wheel with a 15mm spacer= now a +25 offset) Their are some people running aggressive wheels and are pretty low, if you want to tuck you will need a less aggressive wheel or a good roll and pull( prob a 195/40 16 as well). To give you an idea, I am running a 17x7 +42 on 205?40 17 with Tien coilovers with a perch removed front and rear. I rarely rub with this set up (scrape often but not rub). With 17x7 +40 205/40 17 on lowering springs I rubbed often. No roll just a light pull on the front with the fender liners tucked. any reason for the x8? you could do a 16x7 +35 with a 195/40 16 and have a great stance.
