Question about 16x7.5" wheels

Post by J.M.P »

I know a lot of you are very full of info on any Honda, and I have searched and really kinda came up with nothing, or I missed it. Tried on the Fitfreak forum and no help there. Here is what I am asking.

I am wanting to buy a set of Kosei K1's that are for sale locally. I want to know if they will rub or not. The size on them is 16"x7.5". Offset is +32. I know this size rubbed with tires on my Integra, but not sure on the Fit. Its a 2010 Sport.

Also, if these won't rub, what size tire would you recommend?

Also I guess I will ask, what size wheels with offset would be the best bet. I would like to stick with 16's, maybe 17's.

Thanks so much guys.

I also had a set of those on my old integra, they rubbed on the rear upper control arm. is that what you're refering to? if so a simple spacer will do, 5mm would be fine.

as far as tires go, i'd do a 205/45 or even a 205/50 depending on how low you wanna go.

What are these wheels coming off of? And when you say rub do you mean rub suspension parts or rub your wheel wells?

They rubbed the upper control are like Erik said. But that was on my Integra, totally different vehicle this time. I am wandering if the same problem will arise. I am sure the suspension is a bit different and setup different. But I am also concerned about rubbing the fenderwell as well.

Go ask the guy if you can test fit them. But like Erik said, worse case you might need a small spacer.
