Help - Advice required

Hey Guys,

I am new to posting here (previously only a lurker ) but i need some help spec'in out some wheels.

I have a 08 Fit Sport in silver and I want to get a set of DR-20s (15x7 4x100 - 40 offset). My all seasons still have a lot of tread left, so i will wear those out in the summer before i get new summer rubber. My stock wheels will be for winter w/ winter tires.

My question is: will the Dr-20s with stock (slightly stretched - for now) rubber fit around the brake calipers and without rubbing? I am on stock suspension and i would rather not roll my fenders. i hope to get a set of springs in the spring, but it wont be a huge drop (1 - 1.5" MAX.)

Will these wheels work okay? i like the look of the DR-20s (in gunmetal) but i just want to make sure they will be okay before i get them. Please advise, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.

You should be okay, you may rub on the fenders a little. But clearing the claiper shouldn't be a problem

What does the manufacturer or seller of the DR20 say about the wheel 'dish' clearing calipers?

the seller had one of those "will these wheels fit on your car?" things, but it didnt deal with any dimensions other than diameter (like offset for example).
i suppose its obvious, but i should probably email Drag or the seller.
the seller is wheelsnext.com. does anyone have experience with these guys, specifically shipping to canada? i cant have the gf sit around all day every day waiting for my wheels to get here :P
is there somewhere online that i can dl a section view of the stock fit wheel, or get the measurements of the inside face? if i knew, i could model them in CAD to be sure :P

also, thank you so much for the suggestions. i really appreciate it. im new. lol
