I am considering buying a used set of Rota Attack wheels for my 2007 Fit. The wheels have +38 offset. I have the option to buy the wheels installed with 205/50/15 tires or without tires. If I purchase the wheels without tires, then I am considering installing either 195/50/15 or 195/55/15. My question is- would these wheels fit my car with all 3 sizes? I don't intend to lower my car.

 

Yes it will.

yes it will i use to run rota attacks 15x7 et38 with 5mm spacer
205/50/15
and lowered
not a problem at all

 

These Rota Attacks are 15x6.5. I assume they still require the spacers?

 

my Spun Supamesh were 15x7.5 with a +40 offset and they worked fine, just gotta have a 205/60/15 if you aren't lowered...but if you are you can go xxx/50 or xxx/55.

 

What would be the difference in performance vs. fuel economy between the 195/50/15 and the 205/50/15? The prices for 195/50/15 tires are considerably lower than the 205/50/15, so this seems to be a logical choice.

 

He owns a GD. Your GE info has zero bearing on this matter.

 

I wouldn't worry about spacers if you're not going to lower the car, you don't NEED them unless you're running like +55 wheels or something like that.

Just get 195/50, they're cheaper, it doesn't seem like you will notice or need the extra 10mm of width. 195/50 will look better on 15x6.5 and will more than likely be a tiny bit lighter.

 

205 is way too much tyre for a 6.5j IMO.

 

Most 205-50s are too heavy for use on a 1500cc station wagon, they fit very well on 6 1/2" wide wheel rims though.

 

Not to hijack the tread. I'm purchasing a set of used rim
15x6.5 +38 offset
195/50/15 yokohama s drive
2007 base fit not lowered

Will this fit and drive perfectly?

 

That sounds like a pretty cool combination to me...

 

i have a 2011 fit. its lowered but i wanna get wheels. i was thinking about the rota grid v 15x8 0mm, or rota j-mag 15x7 +40mm. which is a better choice?

 

i personally like the J-Mag in +40 but IMO i'd go 16x7 and a 195/50/16 for a tire

 

but i kinda like the stretched look. i wanted my car to be low and wide

 

im just so dumb when it comes to figuring this stuff out

 

well if you go under +25 offset you're gonna have to roll your fenders. Look into the XXR 002 (0 offset) if you wanna stretch, get the 16x9 with a 195/40/16

 

Gah that would suck so much.

And have you ever considered how awful that would fit? Sfar, do you realize how small the wheel wells are on Honda Fits?

 

yes, i do know this which is why you "roll" the fenders. He wants an offset so i gave him an offset. I also know someone with 002's, no stretched tires but it doesn't look bad at all.

 

so.. what would i have to do to make the wheels flush?
