Lowered?: Yes
If Yes, What Setup?: Espelir Active Super Down
Front Rubbing: yes
Rear Rubbing: No
Comments: No rubbing at the rear AT LAST! nankang ns2 tires dont have rim guards. its very easy to scratch the rims since they are exposed. i installed 1/4 inch aluminum spacers upfront since the rims touch the calipers. rubs at the front during sudden dips at speed

Hey guy's sorry for being noob or anything, but does the setting HAVE to match with a particular set of rims or does it not matter?

What do you mean by setting? It is definitely in your best interest to select the best tires for your wheels as well as the correct offset and width. For example, 17x7 wheels which are very common can be installed on a Fit, but to guarantee you won't rub on USDM Fit's (not sure if this affects JDM ones, but I think they would), I would go with +45 offset and 195 width tires just to be sure. Some people have gotten away with little to no rubbing with smaller offsets or wider tires, but from what I've seen, that is the setup that will not rub for sure. You also want to make sure that your new rims will have the correct bolt pattern (4x100).

That is going to be close...very close...I'd personally say it will rub a little bit, but nothing you cannot fix with sanding off some of the plastic off the rear mount. Don't hold me to this though

Why such tiny tires? You shouldnt rub with those springs anyway.

185? yeah i agree that super skinny. unless your have some crazy low offset there is no point in going anthing under 195. i personally will not go under 205.
