Sam I hear ya.....I wanted rota's but the size and offset I was looking at it looked like some brands rubbed and some didn't....And with the extreme offset of the HFP's I know if I lower the car I won't rub....That and I was able to buy mine at the employee price cause so got em even cheaper then from bernardi...

 

do you think a 17x7.5 would help with the same offset? this would cause the tire to stretch out a little more correct? giving a little more of a curve to the tire shoulder?

 

I got 17"x7" Enkei CPS-II with 195/40 17" ET45 Yokohama S-Drive tires. Lowered with Cusco Coilovers with zero rubbing.

Here's a pic of the car with 4 people inside and a large ICE install in the trunk.

It looks like your car has a widebody kit... if so, then I doubt that rubbing would ever be an issue lol..

I have to say, that I personally think that your Fit/Jazz is the best one I've ever seen.

 

Thanks for the comments of Best Jazz

As to wide body, non at all. Just very good use of Grey Vinyl to give the illusion of wide body

Various pics of my car can be found here:

Whats the offset on your wheels? +42?

 

i have re750's 205/50-15 on stock rims. they stick like glue and are smoother then the oems. amazing tires and they look great

 

by the way i have eibach pro kit springs with no rubbing whatsoever!

 

nice wheels. which models are they?

 

I work right down the road....30 sec actually from SOA.....

I've seen the R2 running around last year and the sti months before it was for sale blasting around.

I also had a stg 4 wrx, but mine was really silly. On top of a stg 4 setup I had a sti 6spd dccd setup, WITH a working sti ver1 RA dccd controller hooked up to it....Rallispec did the work, to say it was a RARE setup would be a understatement, sti tranny swaps are getting to be a little more common but I did it over 2.5 years ago and had the dccd working. Had RA suspension on it too.....I miss that damn car, but I made it into a rich mans toy, it BURNED through fuel and when I got bad gas it run like crap, and when you spend that much on bad gas it pisses you off. That and I figured that eventually I would either violate the laws of physics too bad in that car and wad it up or violate too many laws in view of the police.

Sorry to veer OT.....but talking about stg4 subies brings a tear to my eye.

 

ET45 or more commonly known as +45

16's fit perfect! and look really good! but 15's are cheaper and have more rubber, and better on gas, although my 16's are lighter than my stock sport wheels, still can get them lighter with 15's

 

16s are nice if you want the looks but slightly affecting performance.
15s are perfect if you're not too fussed about them lookin' a tad small but you'll have better performance!

I'd opt for 15, then you can slam it on it's arse without having to worry about it rubbing =D

 

A light 16" setup can be done, but get out your wallet. I just installed 16x7 Volk TE37 Cups which are 4+ pounds lighter than the 15" stockers, and even got the lightest tires that were still very good, Kumho ASX which are a pound lighter than either the Kumho SPT or Pirelli P Zero Nero in 205/45-16. I don't have food money for a while so now I can save even more weight.

 

That is dedication.....bet it looks sick though.

 

Dude... you have Cups too!?!? bronze???

 

Not bronze.

 

....Nice.....

 

what color y0? Got pics, need to see more of these te37 cups, fell in love when I saw them on jamesbizzle's ride.

 

didn't mean to thread jack you Officially FIT-ted... back to the subject guys...
