15 inch OG axis wheels

I was wondering if anyone knows if 15 x 8 size wheels would fit on the fit. I was looking at those OG's by axis and they would look really good I think but I think that they are too wide for the car. Do any of you have those wheels or know if they would fit.
Thanks.

^ it really depends on the offset, and if you are going to lower your car. i had an instance where i was staggered on my old car, but my offset was too low so i ran a spacer, which ended up pushing my wheels too wide thus, rubbing against my fender. look into fender rolling or cutting for large widths!

i think the offset is +28 but cant remember. i do know that they are to aggressive for me to use because i considered them too. which style of the OGs were you considering? i could probably find you something similiar that would fit better.

so they fit fine with your car mr. whitehybrid, even with a drop or at least that is what it looks like. Those are the ones i want except in black.

Theres a few threads on both sets of wheels.
Ive also mentioned that OG-Sans are back ordered for a while. (so I was told)

Ive only seen 1 maybe 3 cars tops with them on their cars on the interweb.
Anything with a 35mm offset and lower will need some type of fender mods.

Based on the 5 Fits we have equipped with aftermarket wheels the 15x8 wheel will fit 205/50x15 tires IF THE OFFSET IS 42 mm or more (up to 48 mm). If you lower, 45 to 48 mm. Those 28 mm offsets WILL NOT WORK.
To make sure we are talking the same language the back space cannot be less than 5.81" on a 8 inch wide wheell. Unfortunately there are differences in what positive and negative offsets are. There is no misunderstanding back space provided you specify rim width.
