New shoes

Although 205/35's stretched on 18x8 +32 looked looked really gangsta, it wasn't the best for daily driving. I have to keep them at 42 PSI or the bead comes unseated in cold weather. So I decided to get another set for daily driving and use the other ones for shows. The new set is 18x7.5 +42 with 215/35 Toyo T1R's. I think I'm going to get some spacers for the rears, since the rear 1/4's are flared for the 18x8's.

Now just for show:

not gangsta enough, needs more bling! a little big for non-blingy wheels.

do you have toe out on the rear?

Rear is still set to factory specs. In the picture it looks like the toe is out for some reason.

yeah it kinda looks like it on your old wheels too, maybe because of the fender roll?

These are a lot nicer. Your calipers are what really stands out to me. Black them!

Good point. I'll do that next weekend.

Damn dude, I need to get a set of 14's like yours so I can set the car on the ground. 14x6? looks like +25 or so?

the daily driver ones are worlds better than the 'show' ones.

18's on a fit is still on the whimsical side of eybrow rasing though.

the other wheels look ok cause of the lip but I like the overall appearance of the new ones better and they stay on so I say use the others for show's Looks good. A set of black housing headlight would be the icing on the cake

Not to copy but I am kinda curious as to what suspension work you did to get that stance and make the wheels tuck like that???? well other than the bags

Front fenders are just rolled. Rear was a different story. Lots of shit had to be cut.

The rears had to be pulled out pretty far, enough to have to repaint.

well you got to break so eggs to make a omlette, but it looks good no camber kits or cut up arms???? if not good job for being mostly stock. I think with the stance you have the AME shallen AX wheels would look killer

but

I'm between those, Euroline DH's, and Profound II's.

Problem is, the owner of XXR is a very close friend of mine, so I'm gonna rock his wheels for 09. If I still have the Fit this time next year, I'll order some custom wheels.
