Thanks for the positive feedback guys! Also not a bad idea 555, although I'm dead-set on spending money on more suspension bits and better tires before ANYTHING lol.

You just inspired me to buy them konigs which I did, I'm currently running 16x8 w 20 offset for my dd but I think 15x6.5 heliums w your tire set up would be best

Honestly I think the 15's look best with a 55 series tire, but I happened to have the 50's around before I even had the FIT. My next set of rubber will most likely be 205/55's. Glad I inspired you though...the GE8 just looks too tall with anything above 15 inch wheels IMO, I'm sure others will disagree. Where did you buy the wheels from if I may ask?

Hey I'm running 16x8 xxr 521 on a 205/45 tire, I got it from. Nextlevelmotoring.com, I just got the heliums from jhpusa.com it was only 93 bucks per wheel.
How come u want to go 205/55 are 50s to bumpy?
My current set up with the slightly stretched look has a really lumpy ride which me and my wife is really getting tired of lol

Yea its alittle rough, but the main thing is these wheels aren't the strongest as they are cast. The extra sidewall protects them a bunch. Plus I'm a small wheel/meaty tire guy...fills the fender wells nicely.

Yeah I heard, do you have messed up roads aroun your area? I was lookin at 205/55s they don't look that bad. It's kinda crazy how you had 2 bent with your 205/50s maybe you need better tires?

I think more sidewall would have solved it but yes the roads around here are absolutely atrocious for the most part. I'm like 15 minutes outside the city so I have some decent back roads and twisties but driving through the city where I work its terrible. I'm literally swerving left and right like I'm drunk just trying to preserve my car and dodge all the potholes. It sucks but as soon as I find a nice fun road its all worth it.

If you're going to a 15" wheel on a GE sport then 205/55 is the best tire size to run if you want to keep the gearing, speedo, and odometer readings as close to stock and as correct as possible. The 205/55/15 is only 0.5% shorter than the stock 185/55/16. That's what I'd run if I went 15s.

Haven't done much to it recently...waiting on some Ingalls camber bolts from mike410b and saving alittle cash for new rubber for the fall/winter. Also coming up on my list is a Progress RSB...hopefully I'll be able to grab that soon as all I've heard are good things. It'll soon be raised a bit and also will be getting a more aggressive alignment now that I'll be able to...I should really feel the difference.
