Rota K7, Have anyone tried this

I just bought a new 2013 Fit and planning on getting some rims.

Anybody tried this before?

15x9 offset 36.

Based on this thread it should be ok with minor fender roll

https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...-question.html.

Please advise.

With 205 tires stretching around 9" rims, what kind of fender are we talking about?

rolling the lip or need to pull fender big time?

again it is 36 offset

To not rub on a "standard" drop, the offset should be 45....

so yea, at 36 its going to rub without fender work.

Also, in the above link, the GD was on 195 45.

How much are you going to be dropped? Regardless though, your going to need camber in the front and at the least rolled fenders in the rear...

I really like the the big lip look. The drop is going to be about 1.5 inch to 2 inch
with tein coil. I am ok with 195 tires and rolling the rear wheel. Will that be suffcient?

Hmm... I think that might work. Honestly rolling the rears wont hurt any, and even adding only 1.5 camber to the fornt with some $30 camber bolts will only make the car handle better and free up some space. I say go for it and post the results!

Great. I really want to put 205 tire series on the 9"inch wheel. Will that be too stretch?

Honestly I'm not the guy to ask about stretch... I pulled the 190 45's off my 15x8's in favor of 225 45's for AutoX

I haven't seen it in person, but it should look good.
But make it 16" at least.. 15 is way too small.

I would like to see these rims on a GE. But looking at the price of these rims, I think a lot would not want to pay that much for Rotas.

Hey everyone, I ran these wheels on my gd. I wouldnt recommend them for a GE. They are to small for a GE, If i still had my fit i would have gotten 16's, IMO 16are good for GD 17's are good for GE, maybe even 18. To make them fit on my GD i have to pull the fenders, i also was running a 195/45 which is the smalled tire size before a smart car tire which is a 165/50 or something like that, that would be a little rubber band tire.

I'm running 15x9 +36 on my GD with 225/45s. Fender work was done and I had to shave the rear bumper bracket that attaches the bumper to the quarter panel. I also had to run a little negative camber up front.

I'm pretty sure these will work on a GE.
