I'm finally getting my 07' black Fit tomorrow.
I have been trying to decide which shoes to get for my fit.
Now I'm down to only three.
Kyowa KR206, Tenzo-R DC-5 v2, Tenzo-R GF7
Please tell me which one you like the most,
and which one you like the least.
If there's similar style of wheels, which looks better than these,
please let my know.
Thanks.

Kyowa KR206
Tenzo-R DC-5Tenzo-R GF7

 

Don't just look at the styles, but try to decide on how good it's going to look on the Fit.

 

Kyowa KR206 would be my choice out of those 3

 

Thanks for your opinion, hiwind.

I just realized that Enkei RSV looks similar to Tenzo DC-5.
If your pick is Tenzo DC-5, can you also tell me which one is better
between Enkei RSV and Tenzo DC-5?
Thanks.

Enkei RSV

 

Just a word or caution.... I picked up a set of 17" Tenzo GF-7's in graphite when I first got my car. The +42 offset made them rub like crazy in the rear so I had them exchanged for something with a higher offset a few months later. Here is an old pic Cheers.

Oh yeah, my vote is for the Enkei's!

 

It looks really good on the fit, but if it's going to rub than I don't want it.
Hmm.... all of those 3 rims have same offset.
Is that mean I have to look for new rims now???
arggg!!! It took me such a long time to cut down my choices to those 3.
Oh well.
Thanks a lot to sugarphreak for letting me know.
I could have been in a lot of trouble if it wasn't you.
So what kind of off set do you have now?
I want 17"

 

I think you can get away with using the +42 offset with Falken or BF-Goodrich tires (The are narrower tires). When I went to a +45 offset and it fixed my problem (well, until I dropped the car, then I switched my tires to 195/40R17's.... but again the tires I mentioned above would probably correct that problem with a drop anyway)

 

When you lower the car the camber is going to become more negative. I'm dropped on Skunk2 springs and my wheels are +43 and no rubbing....

 

Your running Falken tires though right?

It seems to be a very picky tolerance where it rubs, when I went from +42 to +45 with the same tires it totally cured my rubbing problem. That is only 3mm!! A few other people I know run Falken tires with a +42 and only have an issue with that rear clip. The other brand I mentioned was the BF goodrich, those two brands are also narrower than others.

When I dropped the car (0.9" in the rear and 1.5" in the front) my rubbing problems started up with the brand of tire I was using even though I had a +45 offset, only this time it was in the front. I switched out to an off-spec tire (the 195/40R17) and since then I have had zero problems under even the heaviest cargo loads and tightest corners.

 

Thanks a lot for the info, user name & sugarphreak.
I'm not going to lower my car.
And I havn't done my study on tires, so I'm not familiar with sizes you mentioned.
But I know one thing, I do not want to change the whole radius.
So am I still ok with 42 offset, if I use falken or goodrich tires?

 

From what I have seen & heard, should be ok using Falken 205/40's

 

I finally got by black fit sport past saturday.
I got it for $14575 before destination charge.
I think I've got a really good deal.
Did I?
Now I need to get a new shoe for my fit,
but only one person gave me an opinion so far.
Anyone else??

 

Thats a hell of a good price on a sport!

Just a question: I have a 17s on my civic that im planning on putting on my fit sport. The offset is 42. The tires are 205/40's...would I get any rubbing? I have Bridgestone Potenza G009 tires. Also, im not going to lower it.

 

That's exactly what I want to find out, but I havn't got a clear answer yet.
Please let me know it you get to find out or after you put one on.

 

Will do. However, I just used a "rims on your car" application on tirerack.com and selected a 17 inch rim that had a 42 offset and it recommended a 205/40 series tire....so according to them it should be good. haha.

 

I vote for these in 15"
