Pic Request: Aggressive 16" or tucked 19" wheels on GE

Anyone?

As my air ride is pretty much complete, and I'm looking to get some ideas for diameter. I'm thinking either poking on some 16s super dumped laying frame, or tucking some nice 19s (laying frame on 19s would be a feat in itself). Problem with the 19s is tucking is going to suck because I'd have to run a narrow wheel with a high offset..meaning no concave or lip. Problem with 16s is that I'd easily get all the way down, but my rolling height would be super low still. If anyone has some pictures of either that would be great. I'm not so concerned with the type of wheel, whether is Sportmax or HRE, Rota or work. I'm mainly looking for diameter.

Yes, I know a bunch of you are going to say "too big" or "i hate aggressive fitment". Let's try not turn this into a wheel debate pls.

TIA

Thanks for those pics 515. That last one you posted is NUTS! I see flared fenders right?

The 19s actually don't look that bad. If they were tucked and dumped and i think they'd be awesome.

But holy shit that car is bad ass.

19's look cool, but the 18's look much better IMO.

danielg - are you sure you can get the Fit that low w/ 19's? I'm doubtful, but it WOULD look tight.

Dude 18's or 19's would be the way to go! I have yet to see a GE that looks good with 16's or smaller.

All in all I can not wait to see the finished look.

Air'd out right now I'm tucking maybe a 1/3 of the tire, and I'm sitting on the tire itself. Figure the front bumper is 4" away from the ground. 4" is enough for me to tuck some of the wheel if I want. A 19" wheel will be .5" bigger at the top than an 18".

It would probably be most like that last pic i did, with the multispoke wheels.

Fender flared out another 1.5"+, looks supeerrr FAT in real car.
19" is not bad, but it just to big for a Fit. I still prefer an 18" with big fat lip & have it dumped to the max.
