Well, one. At least you wont hear the baby cry when driving around?
You got 1.5weeks to get everything on.

But you dont rub that much, Tyler.

The real rubbing problem is that theyre 16in. If it was a 15in wheel with a 33mm offset rubbing would be close to yours. It would basically depend on what tires he ran.
16in and an almost 30mm offset is going to look sick though. Hope you keep them.

I dont rub much now, thats becasue i pulled the fender, removed the bulky clips and replaced them, and did a MINOR camber adjustment. I still rub on HARD bumps or HARD turns. But that will probaly stop once i do the fender lining trick.

Tyler,
Are you rubbing when you don't have rear passengers? That's odd. I've had folks in the rear and no rub what so ever. Is it possibly your progressives? How much of a drop do you have on the rears? If I make it to the next Fit, I'll have to check yours out.

I think its because youre a typical Fit owner. They freak with little rubbing.
You did all that for +35mm offset. Remember I was running 0mm offset. You all dont know rubbing.
Wasnt meant to bash. <3 Tyler.

You have HFP wheels. Those have super weirdo high offset.
Thats why you dont rub.

Yupp as Mx6 mentioned, you will NEVER rub becasue your wheels have a 55offset and mine are 35offset. That means mine stick way farther out then yours, which makes them rub on the inside of the wheel wells. Yours are pushed in far enough to clear, even if you are on bigger rims.
