Agreed and I don't think the Fit has the HP/Torque to really justify 17" unless you're just doing it for the "stance"

At stock height, I didn't had issues with rubbing. However, after I lowered an inch it did on big dips or bumps on the fronts.

Too wide and not near enough offset unless you like that stance life and rubbing fenders.

Yeah i wasn't sure, they fit DA9s' okay. im still on stock wheels for my GK5 and will be upgrading. I just feel that the GK5's stock wheel is so narrow. want more rubber on the road.. and i hate stanced cars, hope that trend dies soon.

I agree on the narrow wheels/tires. Honda went backwards from our GD. It has wider wheels/tires from the factory than the GE or GK. All for fuel economy I'm sure.

7" wide wheels with a 45ish offset look and fit real well. Wider or less offset and you're into possible rubbing and additional weight that probably doesn't make sense.

Offset for 2018-2019 HFP Wheels?

Anyone know the offset of the 2018 to 2019 Honda Factory Performance wheels (I believe P/N 08W16-T5A-100A)? Thanks!

race rules allow for a certain amount of difference from oe and factory optional wheels. I am allowed to go a certain amount lower in offset for a slightly wider track. I found some specs on wheel-size.com to be +53 for the oe sport wheels, and they also list other wheels at +48. Was hoping to find something more concrete like an owner with a photo of the specs on the hub or even documentation from Honda or something

thanks!

Another offset/Fitment Question

Like the title says.
I'm in the market for a white set of Fifteen52 Turbomac's their 17x7.5 but I have the option for ET30 or ET42 anyone have any ballpark experience with those offsets on the GK5 platform?? Btw I have stock suspension so far so I don't think I'll be worried about clearance issues, just Fitment.

Not that I can afford the luxury of new rims and tires, but I have done a fair bit of research. The site "willtheyfit.com" is awesome. https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.ph...7-5&offset2=42

i was going to look into getting 17inch.. but by the looks of it, i am better of staying at 16 inch and getting a little bit wider (195 instead of 185) .....
