Anybody running these in 15x7 with 41mm offset?

Do you notice improved acceleration? Increased gas mileage?

Also, what size tire is recommended to avoid rubbing with a modest drop?

Thanks.

 

i like to know as well, 15x7 +41, should go with 195 or 205, 40 or 50 height? for lowered fit, which size tire would look the best?

 

personally, i'd say 195/50 is best. and wth +41 offset, pretty safe to say there will be minimum scrubbing problems.

 

like STTICH said u can go 195 and go 50. i think u will be safe and no rub as much. u might rub a little bit but i dont think u will rub too much. depends on how low u are dropped but if its a modest drop u shouldnt really rub.

 

I have these on my Fit.. 15x7 +41mm offset with General Exclaim UHP 195/55VR15s

I rub a little in the front, but I am lowered on Tein S.Tech springs. I had to do a little modding to stop them from rubbing. The General Exclaim UHP tires I believe are a bit bulkier than others out there in that same size....

I would go with 195/50R15s just to be safe.

Handling is much more responsive and a lot quicker... quicker acceleration was noticeable, I saved 12lbs per wheel/tire combo from stock.

Not sure about mileage tho, but I did travel 830kms on 1 tank on the highway. I'm sure it does increase the mileage.

 

I currently have 17x7.0" +43 on my Fit, lowered on Tanabe DF-210 springs

 

Man, that looks hot... I want that rear bumper

What size tires are you running with that setup?

 

Nice car, where did u get ur Rpf1s, and if u dont mind, how much did u pay for them?

 

Got the rubber from Tirerack, and the wheels i got from a shop in Cali... can't tell u the price tho...

 

i was rocking 205s when i had my set. the only time they rubbed was when i ran my car hard. id pick 205 > 195s.

 

do U mind sharing Ur tire setup on that rims?

thanks,

 

i just want to make sure here,
you're saying you saved approx. 48 lbs of unsprung weight when you went to these wheels? i'm assuming you had the sport wheels stock, right?

 

Thats right. 12lbs per wheel/tire.. I placed the sport wheel/tire and the enkei rpf-1/tire on a scale and the difference came to 12lbs per wheel..

48lbs total.

 

MY WORD! that's massive and it's unsprung weight.

i plan on getting the same wheels, but i expected only a 4lb/tire weight savings. tire rack lists the wheels at 9.5 lbs, forum folks say the stock sport wheel is 16lbs; stock tires are 18 lbs according to tire rack, and toyo lists the RA1 (205/50/15) at 20 lbs. so that's -6.5 for the wheels + 2 for the tires makes -4.5lbs.

unless i am mistaken on the stock wheel weight.

 

My stock wheels and tires came out to 38lbs per wheel/tire with the stock Bridgestones 195/55R15s... I now have some 195/55R15 Nexen winter tires which came to 40lbs per wheel/tire.. My enkei rpf1s with General Exclaim UHP tires 195/55R15s came to 28lbs.

 

hi i like the set up. but i was wondering if you had any problems with rubbing, with running 17x7 and lowering springs.

 

I haven't seen him post in years lol.

Nice bump :facepalm:

 

I'll more than likely put 195-50-15s on my RPF1s this spring or summer if I can get some that are super sticky.
