Rolled and pulled the rears some more using my eastwood fender roller, hopefully it gets rid of the rubbing issues. More low and maybe more agressive wheels in the future??

Loved using my eastwood roller on the Fit. The rears were SO easy, the lip just folded in perfectly and super flat. Think I pulled mine as much as they would go. What spec wheel & tire combo you running?

The rear I'm currently running 16X8 +15 195/45/16 Yokohama S Drives. Had them rolled already, but recently went lower and I started hitting tire and burned the paint a little.

Does anyone rent these rollers? I have on my wishlist for 2014 concave wheels and wide stance. The rears always appear at least to have more flare for lower wheels. How does the et15 look on the fronts?

Looks good. I'm thinking of the same mod on my black '10. Did you need to re-aim the headlights? I know it's a direct swap. Just not sure if the lights need to be aligned as part of the installation.

I washed the top and front of my Fit and noticed a nick already out of the paint, and wow, you can really see what a thin layer of paint they put on these cars. What a shame!

Got some new tires-- 205/40's, ready to go lower

Pic of it freshly dropped about an inch more from what it already was. I'll probably go another inch or so but I'm gunna wait till they settle.

I got them from Woot last week for $99. I think they are nice.

They fitted almost perfectly on the grill that I didn't bother with the brackets. I just used outdoor cable ties
