Ya know, one of the NY local members has 18's and it's sick looking. Not much rubber left. I don't think he has to ride on rough roads because I can't see them lasting otherwise. Gotta be rough riding also. Lots of offset is the key. I'm running 45mm with just 16's. The stock 15" wheel has 55mm. Don't know any more than that.

yes sir

well guys here it is= I gots 18's. yeah its possible i have 18x7's on my fit it doesn't rub too much but it does with alot of weight in the back. the tire size is 215-35-18. the tire is about 1 inch tall kinda sucks but looks sick. I was sitting in a parking lot nex 2 my bro who has 20's on a lowered dakota and the way the fit sits my wheels looked alot bigger than his. it does ride like a whore but not much worse than stock. lemme know what ya think!

I'm planning on making some fender flares for the fit to run low offset wheels. It's either 18's or wheels with big lip. What do you guys think?

Dunno

I don't know if that will work. the only reason the fits rub is the bolt that connects the rear quater panel and rear fascia is in the rear wheel well and thats what rubs most times. Lemme know if ya figure it out

I would go 18s then. I am not on the big lip bandwagon.

i honestly thing 18's on a stock body/lip kit wont look nice.


the reason why the 18" wheels look nice on the tijn fit is because they have a big bodied fit. kenstyle wing, bumper,sideskirts.....it looks normal.


i think 17" is cutting it. i would do big lip!

having big lip or any lip will make the rims look smaller..........

18s with big lip will look like 16s.......

I have this wheels and I want to see if it looks good on a fit. I know it's too wide that's why i also want to make some flares to make it fit, like I did to my Miata.

Large wheels sticking out place extra stress on your braking system, and axles. Not the greatest idea. The Fit is an entry car so it won't be liking it all that much. If your roads are good, and your not going crazy with the car, then it won't be as big of an issue.
