What wheels and tires do you have?

Hey guys, I've got a clean 2010 Honda Fit Sport with less than 40k Miles and I'm ready to get some new wheels and tires without too much of a dramatic stance, and I'm curious what other wheels and tire combos you guys are using.

Thanks

I put Sumitomo 205/50R16 tires on my 2011 Honda Fit Sport original wheels and love them. It gave the car a slightly lower and wider profile tire without requiring new wheels. It is a subtle improvement in look and seems to handle better.

They probably don’t handle better. Looks are subjective, personally I think a 205 looks terrible on a 7” wide wheel, let alone a 6” wheel like OEM

I have 16x7 +38 Advan Kreutzer Xi with 195/50/16 General AS05. They look nice and stock height. They should look even better if I stop being lazy and lower the car.

I agree, looks are subjective and handling difference may be slight. Here is my logic for the 205's:

17x7.5 +42 TE37s, with 205/40 Hankook Evo 12 tires, lowered on Swift Springs. No rub, no fitment issues, no problems. The fitment isn't the most aggressive, but it definitely worked well.
