Now, what I'm wanting to do is get 15X8 in the rear and 15X7 in the front. The wheels I'm looking at are 0 offset for the rear and +25 for the front. With a lower pro tire.... is this possible??

Edit: Also posting in the rubbing answered questions page, I just like this thread, full of knowledgeable people!
not to be rude but 15's in a low offset on a GE are going to look horrible.

it will almost look like daytons. 0 offset will need some good camber/fender work for sure almost to the point of it not being worth it IMO.

+25 would work. im pretty sure thats what the tunerzine fit has on the GE but in x8 not x7

babylobro, let me guess, you wan te37's in 0 offset because of the way the spokes look? i highly advise against it. 0 offset on the fit is just asking for a ton of headaches and it will look like crap.

Well not actual TE37's but a replica. And really I just want a staggered set up in 15's, but it helps that I like the design too. The PF01's that I want are out of my price range right now, but a more friendly offset.

the 522's were the ones I was looking at... so you think 15x7 +25 in the front would work, but not 15X8 +0 in the back? There's a lot of space back there in the GE's especially with my back seats out.

Stay above +30 for a Fit, or any FWD car really lol.

Should I spend $1,500 to enjoy a full week in San Diego, or spend $1,500 on car parts? Dilemma..

Other than rubbing, any other reason?

And car parts, definitely.

yeah it would work but your fenders are smaller than the GD3's which means i know for a fact that you will have more problems fitting a "0" offset back there and some fender rolling/camber on the front will work.

16's would look so much better though i swear. if you get a x8 rim in a 30-40 offset it would fill out the fender real nice
