Why would you purchase rims and not even have a ballpark idea of what offset you want?


Anywho, the stock offset is +53mm. Try working from that.

You want an offset no lower than 45 mm if you want to be safe. If its a decent wheel - not a counterfeit - the offset will be stamped on the back of the hub or spokes somewhere as well as manufacured date.
And almost as important the center bore needs to something like 64 mm and the bolt circle 4x100mm. The rim width doesn't need to exceed 7 inches either. Did the guy even know if they fit a FiT?
Check them for cracks and straightness, too.
