I just took delivery on my Milano Red, MT Sport. I love it. I had thought about. Bunch of different mods, but now I'm really only considering Swift springs to lessen roll a little (it isn't terrible as it is, pretty cool car!). I've been doing some reading and I've come across some issues with rubbing. I don't want it to rub AT ALL. Am I asking for trouble or are the new Swifts on the new Fits pretty good? The only other thing I might do is get lighter wheels and use the OEMs for snows, planning to switch to 205s when the stock Dunlops kick it.

I get rubbing in front... I have Swift springs and 205/50/16 Continental DWS tires on Enkei RPF01 wheels (16x7 +43).

I only rub when I hit a bump while cornering (I'm not gentle). So far, the wheel liner has some light rubbing indicators on it, but most of the rubbing "damage" has been limited to the push pins that hold the liner in.

If I had some higher offset wheels (closer to the stock offset of +53), I probably wouldn't rub at all. I didn't rub with stock wheels & tires.

 

Thanks!!!
