Yep. They are 4 x 100, +35mm Offset, 15 x 8".

Axis recommended a 195/50 or 45 series tire.

No. See guidelines for aftermarket wheels and tires.

I was reading this post last night and know that the shop that I go to is a Axis dealer, I stopped in and grabed a catalog, the Oldskool is a 15x80 +25 offset 4-100.
I also think the wheel will fit on the FIT.
Two thing I thought about.
1st. I have a 16x70 TE37 with a 33 offset. I run a 205-45-16 this gives me a overall diameter of 23.26 inchs and the factory is a 22.93 on the base FIT (175-65-14). I am alittle taller than factory. 195-45-15 gives you a 21.91, so over a inch smaller.
As for the Offset, I have a 7" wheel and the Axis is a 8" my offset is 33 the axis 25. This means the wheel will sit 20.5 mm out toward the fender than mine. With the streacing of the tire and the extra gap. I could see this working.

hey I also made a thread for these wheels. I also like these wheels but they are just too wide. If you want to put them on there is gonna be a lot of work involving rolling fenders and most likely tweeking camber. Too wide and too low an offset.

We asked the owner of the dropped Fit we mounted 205/45x16 tires on 16x7 wheels with 45 mm offset to see again how much clearance is available. And my Fit mounted with 205/40x17 tires on my undropped Fit with 42 mm offset wheels.
Sorry, but I go with the original Guidelines for aftermarket tires/wheels. Any less offset or wider tireswill not fit without modified fenders or real narrow tires o n either of these 2 Fits.
I suggest you measure the backspace and find out if you really know what the offset is if you think the wheels in this post work.

When I looked at the Axis catolog, they had a -offset, and even said made for Xb with fender flairs.

Yes will need good amount of fender modification to fit these Axis wheel if you want to lower the car any. The Fit is basically a Hi offset car. for the front, I had to pop the 3 plastic clips out, and flip the inner liner on top of the metal surports and bend up to cut out the rubbing from my TE37 16x7 33 offset with 205/45/16
