is this big enuff?

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o309/sonicadio/DSC01229.jpg

test fitting 17" 7jj +38 on my ride (my ride as below siggie, a honda city/Fit-aria, known to be same chasis as honda fit) .. i know this nit spacer and flush, as i got another set of fabulous is coming on my way.. same size, but with 7.5jj +22 and 8jj +16

just wondering if this big enuff? or 18" is much better?...is it enuff or what should i do? lowered front more? or bigger rim?..

the pic makes it hard to tell if the wheels are big enough. The new rims should look much better on the car what with the lower offsets and all, but I think 18's on a lowered car will give it a better stance.

Ps. Be sure to keep us posted.

not matter what rims you go with, 17's or 18's, they are going to look better if you can bring the finger gap to nothing and have the rim almost touching the fender with the tire tucked under. You might want to look into cutting the springs, or doing a coilover or air setup it will really add some style to the ride.

For your size car, 17 is normal bordering on big, 18 is big looking, 19 is cartoon looking.
But your deeper Fabs will have much more impact that those ultra-conservative DHs.
