Ok it's nice to see this ended up being educational. I've got a question for you. I bought my wheels in the blind. I had a 97 Civic coupe and ordered DR-33's from discount tire. I just wanted the ones "recommended" for that car. They put them on and no problem. A month later I bought my Fit and put the wheels on the Fit. 205/40ZR17 either +42 or +45. I only know that because another member on here let me know that the DR-33's 17" are only available with those two offsets. I was wondering if there is any way I can find out which ones they are?
Just thought I'd ask. It seems like there some wheel smart people on here. Thanks in advance for any help.
OP- My fronts seem to "poke" a little and the rears are almost flush. (They're flush with the mud flaps)

Edit: after taking a bit more look at Ray's tire pictures, it looks like he has +45s. His fronts aren't sticking out as much as mine are.

I like them! I think the stripe breaks it up nice and orange is different from the red that it seems everyone is doing. I like the multi spoke look. The reason I went DR-33's was because the spokes go all the way to the edge of the rim making them look bigger than they are.
