Wheel offset for 05 HCH
I wouldn't recommend it, that will bring your wheels out about an inch. Have you done the math as far as what tire size you need? I figured it out when I was considering a wheel swap, and finding a tire that's the same width and overall diameter is difficult with a 16. 15 and 17 are much easier, but plan on losing some mpg.
I'm not sure how to calculate it, the wheels are 16x6.5 with 55mm offset from honda fit. The right tire size should 205/50/16 but again I'm afraid they will rub.
Some people with 2000 civic has this wheels and they don't rub, but he uses 205/45/16.
Let me know your thoughts, kinda lame that I didn't do my homework for the offset before buying the wheels

Tirerack and Miata tire sizer actually recommend 205/50/16, that will actually increase my car's height back to original (currently 1" drop with Eibach). I'd love this setup, currently with 1" drop, it scrapes sometimes on driveways. I mean, I don't drive bad but wife drives it in rare occasion. 
Anyway, here's the picture of the wheels with 205/45/16 on 2000 civic, i really like the way it looks:

Oops, I'm dislexic. The 205/45s had a diameter of 23.4 not the stock 24.3". The 205/50s are correct. Those wheels should look good. Here's a pic of what I'm considering getting.

Yeah, Motegi is cool especially that style in 15" for our HCH. You may want to consider this:

I'm thinking of getting them for my del sol when I have some extra money.
My 16" HFP wheels are somewhat heavy, although I care less about MPG nowadays - I'm afraid it would make the car more sluggish, plus the negative off set may be I should put these for sale instead.
