I say no bigger then 16s work on the Fit, that is my own opinion. People do put 17s on Fits.

With a 16x7 wheel, you want around 40-45 offset to not rub.(thats if you are dropped)

then its whatever you want


but if your gonna put 16's on a fit you have to drop it. same goes with the 17's.

it just doesnt look right. well the fit doesnt look "right" without a drop anyways.

slips don't look like their proper size indicates because of the wheel colored lip they have. but still don't go 17's, the 16's look good.

if i'm not mistaken, you can get a near stock offset from jbl for those wheels, though i think 45 is perfect even if you are dropped for no rubbing whatsoever.
