Hey guys, first post.
93 Civic owner about to upgrade. The Civic is bed-ridden. It did it's job while it was young and healthy.

I'm about to pull the trigger on an 08/07 Fit Sport. I'm not too happy about the US not getting the new redesigned Fit until next year, but what can one do. Things never line up perfectly. I need a car, yesterday!

If I do get the Fit, one thing that needs to be done is new wheels and tires! The stock set up can lead to a man-card revocation.

I'm thinking 17"s. Not too big, but much more aggressive than the stock ones.
I also might want to lower it a tad. I just want to slightly give it a more aggressive masculine look (and not spend an arm and a leg)

What recommendations might you guys have (lowering kits, etc)?
Thanks in advance for your help.

BTW... I went to TireRack.com to get an idea of which rims I might like and I am leaning towards Kazera KZ-A 17".

 

Welcome to the forum, great choice by picking the Fit for your next car, they are awesome! About your future plans, im not a expert on lowering cars and all that, but i can tell ya that if lower the Fit and put 17"s on it, im sure they will rub alot! I think even if you dont lower and put 17"s on it, it will still rub...You got to remember the Fit is a very small car, and 16"s really fill it up! Anyway, hope you enjoy FitFreak!

 

Thats the kind of info I'm looking for. Thanks! I definitely don't want any rubbing. Hopefully, there are folks around here that have modified their wheels and can provide insight

 

Just found this post and it answers some of my questions ...good info
