Help getting Flush! :]

So I have a stock 2009 Fit Sport, and I'm deciding to get flush and I have no idea what I'm doing. What I'm looking for is the widest tire size I can get with the biggest offset, I'm hoping on getting some BBS RS and whatever else, also I'm open to getting springs and whatever else, wheel spacers etc... and keeping in mind I live in Minnesota we get alot of snow so I can't have it too low but then I might not know what I'm talking about, any help/suggestions is great thanks!

@DSM: I don't think you were trying to 'look flush'

That was this month actually. He (Scott) uses that to tune his car on the fly, and has the read out on the screen.

I'm trying to find some 16x10/9 or 17x10/9 25 offset :] Already on d2 coilovers. I'm just not sure if 25 offset in the front would be okay

If you have no idea what you're doing, then I highly suggest you look into what you're getting in to. Sitting low enough to sit properly on a flush setup also has negatives:
-Most people that sit low go through axles; so always be ready to have to change one.
-Taking a turn to fast and hitting a hole will buckle your fender; be careful.
-If you / the person who rolls your fenders doesn't do a good job, it'll wrinkle the fenders. Also, if the paint chips and it starts rusting, you need to treat it asap before it spreads.
-Of course running stretched tires is never recommended, so keep in mind the safety risk you have. Most people don't have issues, but it's always possible for something to go wrong.
-If you're not on the proper suspension setup you'll eat through shocks
-Mind that the camber on the rears can't be touched, so be sure to accommodate that factor when you're choosing your specs.

I'm just saying be sure you know everything you need to know before you go down this road, and definitely have the money to back it up just in case something does break. Going flush / hellaflush / whatever isn't just a matter of dumping the car, throwing crazy spec'd rims on it and cambering everything. Be smart before you screw up your pretty much new car.

im still trying to figure out how you guys are planing on running wide, low offset wheels on a fit. i love the flush look and tried many different applications (im a bit of a wheel whore, 20+ sets) in various widths and offsets. believe me, i wish i could run wider wheels, all my cool ones are wide . but my favorite wheel set up so far have been my zender sports which are 15x7 et+20. and to give you some perspective, i had to do quite a bit of fender work to get them to fit (but i am also very low). so in my opinion, dont try to go crazy, remember you can always use spacers if need be, but you cant make the offsets higher after buying. hope i was some sort of help. good luck

How to get flush:

1.) Do no actual research.
2.) Put money in toilet.
3.) Put head in toilet.
4.) Flush.

The first step is to move where the winters are less harsh... like
Texas or Florida.

The second step is to start researching this "flush" thing you speak
about, put together a plan, gather the necessary parts/tools, execute
the plan and then enjoy a job well flushed.

I will subscribe to the progress thread for this...
...but can offer no technical assistance with flushing.

I find psyllium powder of great assistance to achieve
consistent and regular flushing.
