I run a 17x7 +40mm with a 205/40x17 dunlop dropped on skunk2 springs and I've only gotten them to rub a couple of times. I think 17's look sick on fits.

Im running on 17x7 +38 offset wheels on 17x7x205 tires. Im lowered on Progress Springs and have no rubbing at all. I did tuck the fender liner on the front. I had 3 people in the back yesterday with a whole bunch of gear in the rear and had no rubbing issue. I did bottom out a few times though cause i didn't cut the rear bumper stops but i rarely have people in the back. I recommend those who lower your fits to cut the front and rear bumper stops if you plan on having people in the car other than yourselves.

Forgot the pics....



Dude, I didn't know anyone on here had ff7's. I saw them at the store today and I instantly thought of Final Fantasy 7 lol and I want them so badly. I'll be picking mine up on the 15th when I get paid again 16's though. We'll have twin fits

You've got one of the best looking Fits on here SD- love the Advans. I can't wait to see someone rock the new Advan RZ in bronze.

Please help. Thanks
Worked fine with 42 mm offset 17x7 wheels on 4 Fits here UNLOWERED. The lowered Fit needed 17x7 with 45 mm offset for 205/40x17 tires.

hey i was looking at some 17x7 work emotions, i have been hunting around but haven't found a straight answer would a +42 or +47 offset be better (I am lowered on swift springs) I don't want to rub, but would to a little bit of shaving or rolling if i could get something that looked better.

thx
