You won't have any rubbing problems if you run the proper wheel offset and tire size, and of course, don't dump your car!

16X7, +42 Front, +33 Rear, 1.5" Drop All Around, Absolutely no rubbing, thinking about going lower.

Good choice of offsets, and a common Japanese application for the Vitz.

BTW, how do you like the Nitto tires? I was thinking of getting Nittos soon.

With your current offsets, could you run 215/50/16's without rubbing? (They're just about the same height as a 205/45/17). Then, you'd fill-in the wheel gap just a bit more, which may make you happier, and you'd have a wider footprint as well.

Anyway, I like the current drop on your car; even gap above, front, and back of each tire... looks great!

The Nittos have been very kind to me so far even though I don't really push them to their limits. The ONLY time I have ever rubbed was when I had 4 people in the car and went over some rr tracks. Aesthetically, I'd rather go for more of a drop than a taller tire. Plus I don't even know if any of the springs that offer more of a drop, offer an EVEN drop. Either way I have been very pleased with this setup so far.

cm, very very nice. I used spacers to get that effect, but I love the dual offsets you've got there.

i believe the Tein S.Tech's drop the LB 1.9" all the way around. for me, i think it was at least 2" in my sedan.
