offset wheels rubbing!!
i got an 08' fit sport with 15x8s & 15offset i shouldve done 16x7 15offset. it beating the crap of my fenders inside the rear! im going to rollem @ the end of this month but will they still rub? it looks to me like they will so if they do im done with those wheels. the cars not lowered much. it has tanabe gf210 sport springs & already im gonna have to upgrade my rear shocks do to this cause 1 of them is already done. the 1st set of tires were falken 502s 195/55 & were way too fat! now i got falken 912s 195/50s & they ate the back 1s just a lil so hopefully fender rolling clears my tires.
yea it already has a lil negative camber in the rear all fits ive seen do. its wierd but i dont mind im gonna gettem rolled pro @ a shop & get stiffer shocks so it wont bottem out & & see if theres a thinner tire like 195/45s hope i wont here scrapes anymore thanks guys.
DAMN RIMS!!! i shouldve kept the black slipstreams. well it wore out a shock due to bottoming out on crappy roads here in so cal. either way ill just roll them and i have to replace the shocks no matter what now and just slap my gsr fat 5s til i find some nice wheels. it looked good @ 1st but i didnt jnow it was gonna do damage i never thought of the consequences just thought of it looking nice. it is a head turner but not really worth cause im still paying for this car and its kind of a family car for my 3yr old and gf
your biggest problem is the offset. keep it above 35/40 offset if you don't want rub. i found that my +35's rubbed when i had the car loaded down and hit bumps.

i still dont understand the look, low offset looks nice on rwd nissans thats about it.
You need to roll and pull the fenders. Cut off the mounting tabs for the rear bumper in the fender area. Drill holes and use zip ties to hold that part of the bumper on.
