Tire newbie. Will these Fit?

Hello,

I'm purchasing new tires and wheels for my 2007 Fit DX. The OEM tires are 14". I've been hearing stories about tires rubbing and not fitting in the wheel well, so I'm not quite sure about the wheels I've chosen, I hope someone has some insight for me

Will these fit?

Tires: 205/45ZR16
Wheels:16x7

Thanks!

They will fit provided that the wheel's offset is no lower than +42 (+41 or lower will rub) at factory hieght and no lower than +45 (+44 or lower will rub) when lowered.

Just checked and the offset is 42mm.

I feel better knowing they will fit, but sounds like I am cutting it close..

Thanks for your quick reply!

Oh, wait, I didn't notice the significance of the '+'. Mine are just 42. not +42. Should I reconsider these wheels?

I found this thread and I think I will be ok since my car isn't lowered:

It shouldn't a difference between +42 and 42 since they both mean positive 42. The only worry would be if it had a negative dash/minus sign like this for example. -42

If you are still sketchy on getting these wheels, ask the place you're buying them from if the offset is a positive 42 millimeters (+42 mm). As long as it is not a negative number you are good.

No problem. Just curious though, what wheels do you plan on getting?

Nothing fancy, just wanted to get rid of the plastic hubcaps and needed some new all seasons.
