HFP Suspension with 205 50 16 tires

Hi all! I’m new to the forum. Just purchased a 2018 Fit Sport manual. Has anyone tried this set up? HFP suspension kit on stock rims with 205/50/16 tires.

pushes out your rear wheels to the quarter panel arches for wider stance.

I have the HFP suspension and 5mm rear spacers, but Im on stock size tires. Would like to try the 205/50-16 with some more aggressive rubber.

5mm is not enough for stock wheels imho.. not dat im running spacers on my stock GK.

check out some of the bolt-on type spacers (probably need 15 or 20mm minimum thickness to clear the rear disc) or get stud replacement types and u can run 10 or 15 or watever u want.
