It is the Michelin MX4. It will be about $55 more than the symmetry. I really want to get some BFG as they're cheaper, but I think they only come in 185/65/14 and Costco will only give me the OEM size.

Bolt pattern is right. Question is the offset...any offset that is less than +45 you will rub on your fenders...

Any rubbing with +38 - +42? I've heard some people with 16's and +42 with rubbing issues...

im running +42 no problems, ive ran +32 with no rubbing, but it seems for 16 you can run +35 with minor rubbing and +38-+45 will be good.

15" or 16"

I am wondering what do you think looks best on a lowered fit 15" or 16" rims and what is a better handeling tire.

Thank you

I havn't tried the Falkens yet, but my 205/40/17 Kuhmo 711's are holding up great on my fit and ride very well. $210 for 4 tires shipped to my door!! A great buy if they only last 25K miles.

GT3's tired size

So i decided that I will be going with a set of gold GT3's wrapped in Falken RT-615's and I will be lowered on Tein S-Techs. What size wheel and tire combo should I go with to minimize rubbing?

dropped on skunk2 springs i ride on 15x7 42 offset Falken Hanabi rims on the same tires 205/50/15...no rubbing at all. the GT3s are 40 offset so you will be good to go...you can go 16x7 w/ the same offset...i liked how the 15s looked though gives the car a aggressive appearance

My fit is also black. Im still unsure whether the GT3's would look right as 15's though. But then again im not sure if i want 16's, but right now im leaning towards the 15's. Do you think the GT3's would look right?

Tire spec. 195 or 205?

Just order 5zigen rims which is 15x7 offset +42. i had chosen Re001 for the tire but not sure which spec to go. the tire man recommend 205/50/15 and the 5Zigen official website recommend 195/50/15.

Which one i should go for?

I would go with the 195 if you don't want ANY issues. I have a 44 offset and 205 tires and I rub. I still for the life of me can't understand people "not rubbing" with massive tire and wheel combo's...But oh well.

tire size on 16's help

So i cant decide if i want to go with 15's or 16's. If I go 16's i would still like to stay around the same diameter of the stock 15's. When i say diameter I am including the tire. What size tire on a 16 inch rim would give me the same diameter as a stock 15 with stock tires?
