16s or 17s?

I've been trying to look up what wheel size I want, and I can't make up my mind, sometimes I'll see a fit on 16s, and think they're too small, and other times I'll see 17s and think they'll be too big, looking for a nice side profile of a fit slammed on its balls with either size, Newest gen fit btw, this is my example for 16s looking a little small, even with his slightly meaty tires and somewhat more room to lower down

I wouldn't use those wheels as an example for how 16s look. Anything with a big polished stepped lip like that and small center look smaller than they really are (illusion). At least my opinion.

But yeah, show me your shoes thread.

In my opinion, 17's look way too big on Fits. 16's look right on GE's and 15's are perfect for GD's.

I think 17s look good on GEs. Wouldn't go any bigger than that though.

+1 for 17s!

I always thought I'd stick with 16s before I actually got my GE, but when you look at one in person with factory 16s there's soooo much more room under those fenders

I really like the look of 17's on a GE but I'll stick with 16's on my 2012 Sport A/T

I dont need any extra weight to slow this car down any more lol I realize there are light 17's but I dont want to spend the money for them.

I'm more into handling with my car and I have plenty of options with 16's

i think if u have a gd 16s are best if u have a ge 17s will be good cus gd come stock wit 15s n if u put some nice wheels yull run a lower tire profile which will be just about your factory set up
