Smile Looking for feed back on lowering my fit.

Ok here it is i am taking the 17s from my integra and putting them on my fit. i have a 205/40/17 tire.

Whats the offset on the 17's. They will probaly rub if they are not super high offset especially if your lowered.

Yea i agree with Tool. If the offset is crazy wierd then your gonna rub like a mad man if you drop it with the 17's. It is possible cause there is alot of members that are rolling big like that but from what i have heard its not that easy to do. Good luck with them.

I'm currently running on 17x7s +38 offset. Im lowered on Progress Springs on the front and stock on the rear atm. I only rub in the front on hard dips and corners. I recently tucked my fender liner inside the fender and bent the screw tabs up inside the fender and I'm not having any rubbing issues. The rears I fear will rub inside where the plastic mounting tab that holds the rear bumper is. Im going to be putting on the rears soon. Shouldn't take long but i've been lazy. Some of the guys have shave off some of that rubber mounting to reduce the rubbing in the rears.
