I can second this. Just switched from factory Dunlops (some of the worst OEM tires I've ever had on a car - needed replacement after 25K miles and actually replaced at 31K ) to Bridgestone 760 Sports. I'm a Bridgestone fan and really like the 760's for the Fit - night and day difference in handling and responsiveness.

To the OP's original question, I'd go with 16". Looks better, handles better and probably brakes better depending on the rubber you choose, but of course all this depends on what you can afford and how you like to drive.

 

trust me those 5 zigen rims only look good online.

ive seen them in person and they look like ass. 2 of my buddies got hyped about them, and they both bought them in 17" and 16" and they both hate them witht here lives.


they look really good online but once they were on their cars, its was like eh.

 

just make sure you get 45 offset if you go 16"

and like 205/45/16 tires.

 

Been there done that... wouldn't do +42 again, although I roll on 17's

Go with +42 & 15's and you should avoid (although not for certain) the grief. Any larger and you should be looking at +45 or more.

 

I would go with 15's hands down. With a good drop, 15's look the best IMO.

 

wow really? come to think of it, the pictures on vendor websites look great, but the others not so much. sucks. they are such a nice design.

 

i'd go with 17's........
