This is for all of those guys who "think" low offset wheels dont work on a Fit, but they never tried

Car is lowered on Tanabe DF-210's and the wheels are 15x7.5 +0 offset wrapped in 195/50/15

And for those who ask if they rub, they rubbed just as much as my Volk CE28N's which were 15x7 +35 wrapped in 195/55/15

Sooo....

A lot? a little? None?


Either way, looks good. I should be getting new wheels next month, this is helping me decide.

a $20 tip before he starts doing the tires is good insurance that he'll take good care of it =P

That car can be driven. There are tons of VW/Audi's with stretches just as big that are driven daily. Just gotta watch out for those pot holes.
