15's or 16's?

so i just put on some tien s tech springs and my drop is preety low. im on stock BASE wheels which are 14's, i have 1 finger gap in the front and 1.5 finger gap in the rear. So i was wondering should i go 15 inch rims or 16's? i think i will rub on 16's but i dono.

16 will look best IMO. Just get something with a higher offset and a 45 series tire. And if you rub roll the fenders...

i say 16s... IMO... the only realy why it will rub is cuss the rims too wide so it depends by the off set you get but really i would have to say get some 14s itll look alot "slammed" =P other than that 16s are better =) (looks wise)

Different point of view here but it's cheaper, lighter, softer riding, and less chance of rubbing if you go 15's and let's be honest you are not going to see any more lateral grip with a car like the Fit. Looks wise the smaller wheel sits more symetrically inside the well and avoids the lowrider look. Unless you are going for that.

If you could make it work with 14's I'd say go that way. Hardly anyone sells high quality 14" wheels though.
