I couldn't run 215/45x17 on 40mm offset tires on any Fit here. You need 45mm offset and 195/45 or 40 x17 tires.

you might have to roll/pull/trim the fenders if you plan on going lower on the BCs but very sure they fit lol... anything can fit! even 18x9.5 +0

Same exact specs I ran on my Momo's. I was running -2.5 degrees of camber and had to pull the front fenders when I sat at this height:







(shameless plug - these are for sale)

Thats a pretty tight offset bro, it looks pretty darn flush.

I'm bagged and running 17x7 +42 wheels with no camber or modified fenders. All wheels tuck just fine when I fully dump the car. 2mm isn't too much of a difference so I'd say you can get away with it without any fender modifications. Hope this helps!

I'm in the process of buying wheels too. Work 17x7 +42, but I'm trying to make sure they're gunna sit flush with my fenders and no rolling needed. I've seen some say I should be fine, they some say major rolling necessary. Anyone? :\

I couldn't run 40mm offset on 17x7 wheels and 195/45 tires but just barely could with 195/40x17's. We had only one other who insisted on trying but couldn't either.
You're much safer wth 45mm offset.

A big part of this is that you are on coils. Since you will be able to control the amount of wheel travel (by setting more pre-load in the spring), you can set it up how you like. I would personally go with a 195/45 or 205/40 setup. On just springs, the wheels travel a bit further and rub a bit easier.
