hi guys, just quick question

my car is Honda JAZZ 09 model
i want to get a new set of wheels for my car

the OEM wheels are
16X??? + 53 offset
tyres 185 x55 16

the new wheels are
16x7 +42 offset

can my tyres fit and stretch to the new wheels,

Will the new wheels fit? under my guard??

thanks :)

You can definately stretch 185 over a 7" wide rim, but definately not recommended.. handling will decrease, traction will be broken easier... just not good lol..

Wheels will most likely remain under the guards, how does the +53 stock rims sit on the jazz at the moment?? if it sits flush.. then the new rims will more than likely sit out of the guard slightly.

offset is fine mate.

with that setup? i dont think its a problem, well at least with the tyreshop i always go. even 195 on a 8" he still wants to do it \:).
