Would Enkei PKR rims fit the fit?
i have the base model fit and am looking at getting a used set of 15" Enkei PKR's. They already have P195/60/r15's on them. Would these fit onto our fits without any problems? rubbing issues?
according to 1010tires.com. The 38mm is a too low offset for a 15x6.5 wheel. (not really sure what this means)
I'm not a tech guy, i just want some nice rims that won't rub and that i will be able to take off in the winter to put the stock 14's back on.
any info will be helpful...thx.

From the reading I have done you need to ideally shoot for around a 45 offset to fit the GE. I did however purchase a set of tirerack wheels for my GE 15 by 7 in a 42 offset for my winter tires with no rubbing issues. These have Blizzak 195/60/15s. I don't know if Blizzaks run wide or narrow in comparison to other tires. (Please no thread highjacking with snow tire debates, thanks)
I hope that helps.

That would actually throw the offset back to 38 thus making it more likely to rub...I do believe.

Now first and for most, what chassis or year is your Fit? I'm assuming a GD because you mentioned 14 inch stockers. For sure, a 195/60R15 tire on a 15 x 6.5 rim with a +38mm offset will rub on all four corners due to the larger sidewall at stock ride height. If you had a 195/55R15 on a rim of the same dimensions with a +38mm offset, you may not rub at stock height; however, if a 195/55R15 tire was mounted on the a 15 x 6.5 rim with a +40mm offset, you will not rub at stock ride height at all.
Yes, adding spacers would lower the offset and increase the likely hood of rubbing.

Offset is the distance between the centerline of the wheel and the plane of the hub-mounting surface of the wheel.

you think that would work?
