15x7 +41 RPF1 are a GREAT affordable setup for a GD3.

 

But then again we are back to a offset of +41 when I need +55mm on the RPF1.

I did find the Honda 16" Alloy Wheels HFP I believe that are for the FIT +55 offset. That is the only wheel I could find with the +55 offset 15x6.5. I contacted TireRack through email. Asking all the questions i had. Hopefully they can point me to the right direction or figure out a way to get the offset to match. My Shaving the wheel or spacing it, whatever needs to be done to do it right.

 

Your offset doesn't need to be exactly the same as stock.

 

Please explain why, and what wheels will work? What offsets are safe? If +55mm is what's on the OEM wheel why would +41mm offset be ok? I understand lots of wheels are made differently and on one wheel a offset may work, then on another wheel with the same offset it will rub. Its crazy more wheel manufacturers don't have offsets to match the Honda Fit. Jesus it a HONDA. Of course I've read many other fit owners have used different offsets. I've also read an equal amount of threads that have rubbing issues now. On Monday I'm going to the Honda dealership, and to Les Shwab to get some answers. If I'm going to spend over 1k on wheels and tires I don't want problems. Just to look or handle a little better.

If I go with the Enkei RPF1's I am doing it for handling(lightest wheels), and will probably go with Racing Coil-overs in the near future.

I'm also 2nd guessing pimping a 2007 1st gen fit. I bought the car 4-5 months ago(45,000 original miles), I had the windows tinted immediately and installed Android Auto(Pioneer 4100nex). Now I was thinking Wheel/suspension. CAI, Exhaust, Performance chip, maybe headers. And thats it. DONE Maybe a K20 swap. LOL just kidding

 

For the last few months I thought GD1, GD2, GD3, all those had to do with generations of fits. Today I found out they are DriveTrain Layouts. LOL
It's the different types of Fit/Jazz available:

GD1 = 1.3L FF
GD2 = 1.3L 4WD
GD3 = 1.5L FF
GD4 = 1.5L 4WD
GD5 = 1.2L FF
GD6 = 1.3L FF (seden)
GD7 = 1.3L 4WD (seden)
GD8 = 1.5L FF (seden)
GD9 = 1.5L 4WD (seden)

So my 2007 Honda Fit Sport is a GD3. As are most FITS for all years, except the GD9 sedan. Interesting

 

I've installed 16s and even 17s before. Don't wander to far from the offset. About the width 6.5 to 7jj is alright.

Here's a neat tip to decide what kind of tyres to get. Just use a diameter calculator, clock in the size and just see how different the the overall diameter.

The bigger it gets, the taller your car gets. You may need lowering springs if you go real big so your car won't look awkwardly tall. Try to keep it lower than 24 inches in total diameter and it won't look too dorky on stock suspensions. Of course wider, and low profile tires do contribute to better handling.

Recently i dropped my 17s (205/140/17) Enkei. Needs lowering springs to look neater.

I finally found a nice piece of Japan Mugen NR 15s (6.5j) and use 195/55/15 now. Working like charm.

When you change offset it affect bump steer and Ackerman angles.. Small offsets, +- say a half inch don't matter much on the street.

I have used 1 offset wheel to fix handling problems on road race cars before.. Not my favorite way but it can work.

 

i would just stick with the original offset and just adjust the profile

 

FWIW my stock 07 wheels are stamped 55 offset on the exterior side between the spokes.

as long as the overall height, overall tire width, and offset is the same handling will only change as far as having a lower profile tire affects it.

To understand why changing the offset can affect handling, look up bump steer and Ackerman angle.
