it always ask me my brand of car and whatever, but i think the kosei k1 dont have the good offset for the fit on the website, so they dont show it.

The K1 may be discontinued. Tire Rack only had a short supply the last time I called. Plus all the good offsets were gone. You will more than likely have to pick up a set used.

lol everyone has kosei's now you cant buy them for the fit,
"they dont fit" which unless you roll the fenders they dont. They are made for the miata which is +38

On a tire website they suggest the 195/55

I HAVE TWO SETS!!
love them both, but they are discontinued, they are light weight and very strong
my 15"s on my fit do rub slightly when i have people in the back, but since i'm a lone driver 95% of the time i really doesn't bother me, and i have a local wheel repair shop that will shave off a 1/4" on the inside of the wheel mounting surface if i want, and i don't track the fit so i don't see it being a big deal. as for now i'm leaving them alone
someone on here is selling a set of 15" white ones, just do a search

I miss the 15x7 +45MM K1 I had too. Sold it to another local Fit owner who doesn't come to this forum. I used to have two sets also. The white set for R-comps & set of dark grey gunmetal color which I sold to another guy on here then he sold it to Joquio now.

Shoulda just keep the white set
