Depends upon what you are looking for. I'd probably stick with some lightweight 15s maybe 15x7 as you could get some 205s in 15s for cheeeeap.
What kind of tires are you thinking of?

If you are in the USA your 2008 Fit is actually a 1st generation Fit.

If you do have a 1st gen, get 15x7 +41 (for minimal rubbing) or +35 (for a fuller 'stance') RPF1.

If lowered, get 195/50/15 tires, if stock height get 195/55/15 tires.

Search next time, the differences between 1st gen & 2nd gen are quite clear and this is a topic that has been covered too many times, the answers are out there.

Sorry for the mix up i see what you mean by 1st generation and the 2nd generation sorry for the mix up.

Its not lowered.

so 15 inch rims are the way to go? was wanting to upgrade to 16 but not if there is going to be rubbing that could damage the car.

I was just going to put some fire-hawks on it on since i live in Florida and snow doesn't happen where i live at. just new to modifying cars and want to do it right, sorry again for posting in the wrong section.
