Hello,
I've just bought a Honda Jazz which is basically a Fit in EDM specification. I currently have 185/55 R15 tyres and OEM rims. Honestly, I don't like them that much and want to lower the car.

Since I live in Germany and I don't really like the European tuning style, I only have a limited and often expensive (due to import) choice of parts. Nonetheless, could you all give me advice which tyres and rims I should get? The European sports version does also look a bit different that makes everything even harder.

I read lots of threads over here and I think that 205/45 16" are good dimensions for tyres. I love 17's but I'm scared of rubbing...What is more, I want to lower the car with TEIN s.tech springs. Do you think that this is okay considering loading? (see picture) Can you also recommend some nice rims? I am not sure whether I should get some ROTA Slipstream for beginning, 5Zigen Pro Racer GN or GramLights 57 Optimise.

Thanks for any help in advance!

 

Oh man, I wish they offered yellow here in the U.S. Nice Fit, and welcome.

I would vote for some Black Rotas, or how about some Volk TE37's.

 

Thanks man. I think the TE37's are quite nice but way too expensive for me. It's roughly 750$ dollars in Germany. I also love the CE28's but the price is even higher.

 

i vote green TE37's

on yellow LOOKS SICK

 

what i wouldent do for that car mmmMMm

 

If you realy like the look of the TE37's and CE28's you could always pick up the Rota Look a likes. They may not be as light as the real deal but a hell of a lot cheaper. Also you would be fine running 205/45/16's that's what I'm running and I'm lowered on Progress Lowering springs with no rubbing. Although I never real have any other passengers or carry any thing.

 

Thanks for your comments. What really surprises me is the fact that 205/45/16 looks really thick sometimes and sometimes real good. Unfortunately, 205/40/16 tyres are not that good considering tests in magazines and on the internet.

EDIT: I found a Goodyear one in 205/40/16. What do you think? It's called Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD 3.

By the way, I like ROTA Slipstreams but on a lot of photos ROTAs look strange in comparison to the original Rays rims. What do you think of GramLights 57 Optimise or 57 Maximum in 16"? I think they look ace on the USDM Fit but I'm not sure concerning the EDM car. Anyone made some experience with those rims?

 

the goodyear eagle f1 r prob one of the best wheels out there.. they r so grippy.. i wud go with the gramlights max 57, i like them but to expensive for me.. dont start of with rotas, just go straight into the expensive rims...
