I'm interested in getting some:
17/7
offset: +42 or +45
205/45-17
On Stock height!
I have a 2010 Fit sport.
Can anyone clearify for me if I will exerience rubbing if at all and what conditions.
Also, Thoughts on Tire racks 185/55-16 Wheels?
THanks ahead for anyones thoughts, i'm still learning.![Wavey](https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/images/smilies/wavey.gif)

I believe you may experience slight if any at all when you have a packed car due to having a drop even with camber. I have yet had a full car on my setup but no rub for me thus far. Even when I hit potholes on accident..no rubbing. I'm on eibach prokit with cambers. The fact you went with +45 was the key issue. So you should be fine.

I've been checking these threads out a lot, but I wanted to double check if Buddy clubs will work. I'm looking at the P1's, 15x6.5 w/42 offset and 205/50/15's (maybe 55's) which are 23.1" , but I want to lower it a little bit probably the Tanabe NF's. Think that combo will work, and look good? Thanks ya'll

So far, so good. No rubbing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I am just waiting to order these wheels ( Primax 925 - Chomium Wheels - Wheel Size & Price Details - 1010tires.com ) But i want to make sure they will fit without much rubbing. I have a 2010 fit sport that's completely stock as of right now. I was planning to put 215/35/18's on them. I have seen pictures of the same size and offset fitting but I just wanted to confirm with someone who has them on. Is there any rubbing present?
Or, would I be better off with 17x7 and not have to worry about it? I liked the look of 18's better though, so if possible i would prefer to go that route. I do plan on lowering the car but only about a inch, probably with a eibach kit.

Just bought some rims that are 17x7.5 +40 no tires yet. Thinking of putting 205/40/17 tires though. My question is will I rub on stock height??? On another thread, Jim at Tirerack said to take my fenders off (though he didn't specify if he was replying to my question). Is that even feasible, to take my fenders off?
I do plan on getting coils sometime during the summer so can't I just roll the fenders or add something to make the rims fit??

Jim said kindly that you will rub, stock or dropped. Unfortunately 17x7.5/40 means you'll be stuck wih 195/40x17 tires if you want to have the best chance of not rubbing. And when you lower the risk is greater.
It may not rub with 45 mm offset but don't expect its concrete advice..

Increasing offset means making the hub thinner by 5 mm on 40mm wheels, DEFINITELY A DISASTER IN THE WORKS that has a good chance of killing you!
Sure you can take the fenders off but you risk a ticket like all those old baja bugs or damage from irate drivers around you.
