I am considering to purchase a used set of Kosei K1 Racing rims for my 2007 Fit. The size is 15x7, 4x100 with +38 offset. I called Tire Rack to confirm the sizing and they told me that the Kosei K1 Racing wheels will not fit the 2007 Fit. They advised that only the Kosei K1 TS will fit my car.

Is this true? Or will the Kosei K1 Racing wheels fit my car? I am thinking of installing 195/50/15 tires on them (if the wheels do fit my car).

 

pretty sure they will fit.. whats the offset? and are you lowered at all?

 

The offset is +38

 

i ran 15x7 +38 before on 195/55 with very little if any, when i had lowering springs..

now i have 15x8 +25 195/45 and i dont rub unless i have fat people in the car since im dumped on coils..

TL;DR.. they will fit your car.

 

TireRack is very conservative with their fitment assessments. I dont believe they will deviate outside the OEM specs, and if they do, not by very much.

For the GE, they dont even offer 15" wheels, even though there are plenty that will actually fit.

 

I received a more detailed response from Tire Rack:

All of the 7” wide fitments for the Honda Fit, especially with offsets lower than ET45 are all going to be aggressive fitments. There’s a bolt end on the rear trim that sticks out into the rear wheel well and if that’s not trimmed or ground down, it will rub. Pretty much all 7” or wider wheels will have the sidewall out into that bolt under full compression or when there are people sitting in the back of the car. As long as you know it may rub under these circumstances we can sell you the wheel and it will fit the car.

Is this a big deal or not?

 

guess it depends on how comfortable you are with cutting bolts

 

not really a bolt.. its a rear bumper support thingy... i got a dremel and cut them off and used a zip tie to hold the bumper back on

if youre not lowered, i wouldnt see a problem at all honestly
