Question about 16x7.5" wheels

I am wanting to buy a set of Kosei K1's that are for sale locally. I want to know if they will rub or not. The size on them is 16"x7.5". Offset is +32. I know this size rubbed with tires on my Integra, but not sure on the Fit. Its a 2010 Sport.

Also, if these won't rub, what size tire would you recommend?

Also I guess I will ask, what size wheels with offset would be the best bet. I would like to stick with 16's, maybe 17's.

Thanks so much guys.

As of right now I am stock height. I would like to just put some springs on at some point. I am more than likely going to buy them anyways. but wanted some input before hand to ease my mind.

at stock height...no problem. lowered...it depends how low you go and what tire size u run. the rears should no problem lowered. the fronts might be some concern when lowered. Here's my old set which is the exact same specs: 16x7.5" +32 offset. the tires are 205/40 in the front and 205/45 in the rear. I bought them used and these are the tires it came with.

^^^ Thanks for the great reply I needed, haha. I do want to go a little lower. I am thinking on going 2inches at the most lower. I haven't even started shopping around for springs or coilovers yet though.
