Default Are there any solutions to wheel rubbing?

Because when I do have people ride with me it's usually my parents and they probably way around 195 to 165 a piece. Will harder springs or shocks fix it? I am going to leave it stock height with the hfp rims. When exactly does it rub? Does it rub all the time?

correct offset and fender rolling will cure most symptoms of wheel rubbing.

How do you change offset? Does each different wheel have different offsets or is the offset changed in another way?

The Fit is a 5 passenger car. A passenger has a definition for size and weight for a company to sell cars in the US (as well as in other nations too I would presume). Thus don't read too much value into people's posts about wheel rubbing. That's just ridiculous. Of course, you'll get a wheel rub if you have 5 people and you go over a speed bump real fast. But your Fit will get all scratched up if you drive it over a cliff too. So what the expletive is this discussion all about?

As much as your comment made me laugh due to the large amounts of sarcasm layered in that bit of text... and I really did laugh cause it reminded me of the old "hey doc it hurts when I do this..." joke, I find it interesting that this particular vehicle has so many topics and threads dedicated to this particular issue. I am a member of many other Honda boards and find this topic to be a regular on nearly every thread pertaining to the Fit.

Hmmm... a little odd.

I will say that I have owned a number of cars and most of them to be Hondas. I am a Honda fan. This Fit seems to have "more" of a tendency to rub than any of the other vehicles I have owned. Not saying it's a serious concern. I know... I do not have stock wheels. Problems are almost expected. I don't see this as a problem. In fact... I agree. Don't drive it off a cliff and the world wil be a happier place.

I pour my own poison and swallow it gracefully.
