interesting wheel fitment information
this is a reply I got form Tire rack after asking them how they determine the fitment of the GE wheels on their site.
Width and offset can vary depending on wheel design. We scan the car in CAD drafting software, so we have the brakes and suspension at full travel and the caliper both with new or worn pads. So in CAD we have all our wheels, and we can overlay and design fitments. Short story - we test fit to see what works.

We guarantee our fitments 100%
If you have been shopping for wheels you will know that when you plug your car's info in they give you a list of wheels, many of them with a 40mm off, which from all Ive read is way too aggressive on the GE, and a 43 to 50mm off would be a safer bet...hope this helps everyone...

If that's an actual pic of the wheel then it won't fit on a Fit. 5 bolt pattern.

Both are fine on those wheels, but based on other threads here, only the 40 section has a chance of clearing the fenders without mods, and even that is supposedly VERY close.
40 series if your offset is less than 42mm, 45 series if your more than 45mm offset.... ( anything in between is gray area )
