searched and searched: 16x7 +40 ?

Is anyone running a 16x7.0 with a +40mm offset?

If so, are you running a 50 or 45 series tire and are you lowered at all?

I'll keep checking, but nothing much out there in terms of this fitment on a 09 Sport.

Thanks in advance!

I am not anything at the moment, but would like to go with a set of 16x7 rotas that are +40 on the offset and not sure they will fit on a lowered Fit. Anyone?

The ideal tire size for 16x7 would be 205/50/16.

What's your offset and are you dropped at all? Does it rub at all if you hit a bump? Was looking at the same wheel/tire setup with +43 offset (RPF1's) and 1.2"F 1.0"R drop (Progress springs). Sound pretty solid?

+42 offset no rubbing on bumps, yes I am dropped about 1.8 up front and 1.5 in the rear. Only rubbing comes from extremely hard cornering. You should be fine on that setup ur wanting to run.

I want these Buddy Clubs but they're +40

D-UNIT09 is running Enkeis +40 on 205/45/16 and he's lowered on DF210s with no problem was wondering if this is a special case or what

Is this the GD in your sig? Mine's a GE; apparently there's a big difference with offsets and drop potential

the Buddy club sf P1? I ran those in 16x7 with +42 offset in that tire size as well with no problems.

Buddy club doesnt make a 16in wheel with a +40 offset

Tire sizes will be slightly different depending on the chassis.

GD: 205/45R16
GE: 205/50R16

On my GD1, I have 16x7 +45 wheels at stock height and I use 205/45 tires. No rubbing whatsoever.

GEs are okay with the same tread width but the aspect ratio should be a little bigger.

I have 16x7 +42 and I just changed rims and used the stock tires for now. I'm not lowered yet though.

2mm always makes a difference

I know this is a GE8 thread, but I had +42 rims on my car and massive rubbing problems... I went to +45 and it all went away!

Also here is a link the the lightweight wheel thread, it details all the rims that come in high offsets and are lighter than the OEM rims:

https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...el-thread.html

Chris, could you sticky that thread for me. It is a valuable database for anybody looking for rims with high offsets.
