Exclamation Work emotion Cr-kai wheel help

Well I was going to order some work wheel cr but I wanted to know on 16" whats a good looking offset to buy, but also is safe. I wouldnt mind being stagger but I dont wanna rub in the front when I turn. This is all going on a black base fit.

here are the pix of the rims

I thought about going with the advan rg 2 too, but I wanted to go with a 16x7 for the front with a 42 offset and a 16x8 in the rear

16x8 is not necessary for the rear......the Fit isn't RWD so it's not necessary to run a staggered setup. you can use the same wheel size on all 4 wheels

and like most hondas they require high offsets to reduce problems with rubbing.........stock wheel offset is +55 and i'm safe with +44 so if you stay around +45 or higher you won't have any problems unless you want to run a lower offset and use camber bolts and roll your fenders.

ive got them in 15x7+44 w/ stock tires, dropped on progress springs. i had my car loaded to the max the other day(4 people, and at least 150lbs of luggage) and wasnt getting any rubbing except for when i hit larger bumps in the road....even then, it wasnt bad enough to really be concerned about.

Correct, but itll look F-wordin sick.

16x7 +45mm offset is the specs on HFP wheels for the Fit.
If you get close to those specs problems should not occur.

+40mm will be ok too, but youll probably rub up front around corners. Thats an easy fix also.

Tyler, I thought those ones were the Mugen wheel reps?

I think the mugen rips are called MegaRace.

shit..with a full car i sometimes rub in my rear.

but i have a 17x 7.5.

i had to sand down my rear bumper to make it work though. good luck with the rear.


my buddy is running a silvia offset on his prelude.

but hes running the bigger fronts and smaller rears for traction. turbo h22 heh.


but yeah i would agree with ray.

IT WOULD LOOK SWEET. but on a base fit?
