Wow, how funny. I decided to take our 501 display wheel and put it on the car the other day just to see what it'd look like. With the 15x8 +0 offset, it was sticking out at almost an inch with the stock suspension. I was bored and was just wasting time of course. I didn't take a picture cuz the tire was a 215/40/16 and the wheel gap was crazy. Anyway, looks pretty nice. Maybe too old school looking for the design though.

Those rims are so played out.
Theres a black Ep3 with them in red around here. Looks good, he should have went with different wheels though.

i have a feeling these wheels might be hard to fit on a Fit.

not so much the offset but rather the design of the wheels, wont give too much clearance to the front calipers. unless u run some really thick spacers or adapters, tat will only bring out the wheels even further hah.

Yeah, I agree what's not played out at this point? Like you said just go with what you're gonna like looking at everyday!

Wow, I didn't know any non wide-bodied Hondas could run an 8" wide rim with a zero offset. That integ looks... amazing.

Unfortunately, only the 8" wide 501 or 002 look good to me and I'm pretty sure our Fits can't fit them without stupid amounts of camber.

well i just bought a set so we will see how it will fit, i will roll my fender but it will not be crazy flared out, just normal looking rolls

BTW: i've made 16X9 +15 fit on EK before, without crazy fender mods, so i am sure i can do this !!!!...ihope

I dont see how rims can be played out? Certain styles; yes but rims cant be played out.

I agree JDM is played out but theres always something different that you can add to change it up.
That style wheel (at least in FL) is on every 240sx. Thats why I said it was played out.

As for those wheels fitting. Just do massive camber adjustments. I still havent adjusted my camber and I dont think Im going to. Im going to roll my rear fenders more. The noise is really deep and its eating the tires up a bit.

ahh yeah. any honda can do 16x8 0. just a roll or maybe a slight pull. but everyone is to scurry to roll there fenders. and use a 195 on a 8.

i do it all the time on my 240's 17x9 +6 215 and 18x9.5+7 225

here my ride:


soon ill be getting SSR Profs 18x9 +6 18x10 +11 CHROME!

so today i tried on the 15X8 0+ 195/50/16 off sportmax 002 on my fit
did not fit at all !
well...i could make it work..but could cost the whole fender, then i thought, if it will cost me the whole fender i rather get some better wheels and go even crazier.
anyways so i exchange it to the 501 with 16X8 +15 with may be 195/45/16, i wanna see if i can get 165/50/16 tho.
i toke pic ..i will psot soon !

yes understand you can go really crazy offset of a 240, i've had 240 before too, i had sp1 18/10 +15 on the back and 18X9+20 on the front. with a 5mm spacer to clear the coilovers, looks pimp
but after trying on the 15X8+0 on my fit tonight..my thoughts have changed. may be a EK or DC2 can fit that...but no way a fit can do so without a huge amount of bondo on the fender lip

i duno about in US
but depending how much u want to roll it could cost from $100 each fender to $200 each fender not including the paint and bondo. because you will have to repaint again if you want it to look decent!@

you dont have to repaint, you just have to be careful. a guy i know rolled his fenders in a parking lot with a baseball bat.

it all depends on how much u roll it, if u just roll the lip then u might be able to get away with not painting
