Winter fitment question

Bought a set of 16x7 rims (dont know the offset..) and need tires. Looking at 195/55/16 Hankook iPikes.

Is that too much tire for my Fit?

Im looking at swift springs too, would that be a nail in the coffin as far as rubbing goes?

As far as the rims go the measure 16x8JJ and measure 5 1/2 inches from the bolting face to the lip of the bare rim.

I think that makes them a 16x7 +45 ish?

This is them on the car

They're a buddy club knockoff I believe. One was cracked and professionally repaired. Not bad for $150 I think.

Looks pretty good. Make sure you get the correct lug nuts. Most aftermarket rims need a taper seat.

OH, and as far as the tire size, you should be ok with the taller tire as you won't be driving as hard in the snow. Only .2" taller in height.

Do not use the Honda lug nuts. They are wrong and will just chew up the holes in the wheels. You need a set of tuner nuts similar to these
