Final Setup:
16x8 +32 (Thick + pad, 1" outter, 7" inner)
16x8 +29 (Ultra Thin pad, 2" outter, 6" inner)
The classic was designed orignally for trucks or cars with large bolt patterns. We have since made a new lathe profile to make centers with smaller diameter pads. We we test fitted the wheels we found out due to the small pad size (on the car) and the fact the caliper sits so close to the pad we had to go with a thicker pad on the wheel to get up and around the caliper. Only issue with this is the fact that the center takes up more front spacing so a smaller lip is needed to keep the wheel at the fenders and not push them past the fenders.

Here is a "visual"....obviously the suspension isn't exact nor is the huge front brake calipers but the same applies here. You can see how the thicker pad on the center is needed to clear the caliper on the front (top wheel) where a thin pad isn't with the drum or small caliper (bottom wheel) which allows for more lip. This is an exact figure based off your setup on an 8" wide wheel.

If you think you're the only person to own CCW wheels then get over it. I've been looking at these wheels for a some time now. People don't bite just because they're not 1st. Some of these guys may not have known about CCW because their local wheel/tire shop won't suggest it because they get the same pricing as you. CCW does not sell to businesses any cheaper than walk in customers. OH and if they do BITE you, immitation is the biggest form of flattery........

No fighting girls! lol...j/k either way money talks and Antony & Annates wheels are cut and ready to be polished and assembled! Will be the the first to have a set on a honda fit.
Antony, I also had a local forum member "Nick" stop by today so we could test the centers on the front again just to make 100% sure they're going to clear with the new lathe profile and....THEY WORK PERFECT!

hmm. doubting 205 will work mate, without a rear fender pull. did u tested it on the rear? well atleast with mine the clearance to the fender with just a roll aint so friendly so i went with 195 on my 8" 30+ Works. it does helps
i had 195/50/16 when i had my old volks 16x8 +38 though difference 8mm dish lol. 45s looks good on dumped cars, as if there is no gaps between tyres and wheel arch. 50s looks the good if the car is moderately low like mine. reffer sig pic.
oh well just do whatever, its fun i tell ya haha, the whole offset thing.
just my 2c.
