you will probably want to give em a call to confirm everything. Iam pretty sure about the offset.. i could be wrong. I think the +40 may be for the 16s

I weighed my rims today at the post office: average 11.4 lbs each.
I also installed some light weight lugs & valve stems. I notice
the fit accelerates a tad faster!


Does anyone know what size hub centric rings I could use with
these 15" wheels???

Rub city on stock tires & swift springs
I just got my swift springs installed. They claimed a 1" drop, I got more like 2".
Before I could put in 3 fingers between the fender and the tire.
Now I can't even put one!
I rub on fast turns, dips, and wavy roads.
Front & rear.

I didn't rub before.
I think its the offset + the drop that is causing the problem.

i dont have my fit yet, but are the fenders able to be rolled? That would fix your rubbing issues without causing paint problems in the future.
