Offset for 16x7 wheels on 07 Base Fit
I have a 2007 Fit Base I am going to put 16x7 wheels on it with 205/45r16. What offset will be needed with Tanabe GF210 springs? Will it need fender mods?

This really depends on your goals. I see people running +15 and liking the look and, I suppose, the rubbing sounds.
I can offer this...we have +40 16x7's and they rub in the rear when hitting dips with factory suspension. The rub point is a screw that holds on the rear bumper. I have worked that area to diminish the rubbing, but it still makes contact on big dips.
If you want no rubbing with no fender/mount modifications, you will want +43 or more offset. Somewhere around +48 puts the wheel back to centered when using a 7" width.
Online Wheel and Tyre Fitment Calculator. Offset, Tyre Stretch and Speedo Error | Will They Fit is a great resource for "testing" different combinations. The factory sport wheels are 15x6 +53 with 195/55-15 tires so that you have a base wheel/tire combo to put in for the existing set up.
