Cool. As long as I can sell the ones I bought the price will more or less equal out to the cost of new tires (a bit extra) which I will need to buy regardless of wether I get new rims anyways. As long as they don't rub I'll be happy. What tire size could you recommend for the wheels? The tires on the current wheels I bought are 205/50 and thank you for your help, it's appreciated.

if you use steel tapered (acorn) lugs on your aftermarket wheels, you can sandwich a 5mm spacer on the rear wheels to push it out a tad.
you want to have 10mm of thread on the lugs when you mount onto the car.

No need to get sensitive, I definitely understand things changing & I wish you the best....but just get some new tires for your OEM wheels. It is the best way to spend that money for the safest, most reliable Fit possible. Plus tires for 15" wheels are mad cheap.
IMO you should really just sell those chrome things and get new tires for the OE wheels. You'll get the best possible MPG & the car will be easier on components. Wheels that are much lower offset place more stress on many components.

haha. I hear you, and I might just end up doing that....and ya my middle name is "thin skin", apologies.
