BBS rs wheels.

I plan on getting those rims and I was wondering what's best fit for it so I won't have to push the fenders nor do much to Destory my car. What size? I like the rim to stick out longer then my fender and also how slammed should I go? I just bought a fit 07 sport and I don't know much yet. Just slammed and rims is what I'm looking for first.

Well for starters welcome to FF, I see your from St. Paul MN, thats awesome! We dont have many MN guys on here.

For your question im not really sure what your asking, I had some 15x7 +32 offset on my Fit and it was pretty much flush with the front fender. The only mod i did was to remove a clip on the fender liner and push the lining up over the fender lip.

You think 15 would be too small if I slam it? Cause you want it big for it to stick out once you slam. Maybe 16 or 17s?

In order to get stupid fitment like that you'll most likely need (just a quick estimate based on eyeballing it):

16x8 +15 up front
16x8.5 +12 in back

195/50/15 I also had a 5mm spacer out back so the rears where actualy +27. It did rub, actually a lot with the 5mm spacer out back, the tire would hit the inside fender lip over every decent bump. The fronts would also rub over bumps and hard turns. Was it enough for me to care, no.
