That's just personal preference, then. 16's and 17's will both look nice. An inch won't make that much difference as far as looks are concerned. The style of rim will be a much bigger factor.

 

I'm running 15" konig feathers with 185/60/15 winter rubber for winter it shed approx 10 lbs per wheel over stock and i notice a big difference with pick up from a dead stop up to about 30mph.

 

16" has to be the best size... 17s are so noticeable to me and i just don't like them at all, 15s are just too small.. each is to their own

 

+1 more for 16's

 

I plan to run some light weight 16's for summer---they do look the best.

 

whats the stock rims size for the GE8?

 

15" for the base
16" for the sport

 

I'm wondering (i know no body does that).

How about the K20 Power in the Fit, is it better using wider tired?? Let say running 16" the stock HFP is 205/45/16, but with the k20 power, should be using 215/50/16?? Will it possible still running slower??

 

hmm this is a good question but i still have it find out for myself... cuss when my brother and i race when both if us have 15s were both heads up but when i which to my 17s and put in my PW JDM intake we are still side by side =( so what im thinking is that if i put on the 15s i might do alot better =] what do you guys think? any ideas? ***i was a bit too lazy to be reading all the comments =P i read some but not all =P*** but yah ill reply back to this when i which out the 17s and put back the 15s =) *and yes i understand that "better driving" makes a big difference so well see what happens =P

 

I would think you should be better---unless your 17" are really low on mass.
