Tires for stock class autocross-
Both the base Fit and Fit sport are in SCCA solo H-stock class.
You must use the same size wheels as what comes standard on the car.
Offset can be plus or minus 1/2" or as stated about + or - 6mm.
Hub bore 56mm. 4x100 bolt pattern.
Base Fit
14x5.5" +45mm offset
Tires
R compound (legal in stock class but not in Street Touring classes)
195/55-14 22.2" tire diameter vs 23" for stock
Kumho Ecsta V710 $115 each (closeout)
Kumho Victoracer V700 $125 each
The V710 is the tire of choice for best results but won't last that long, about one season of autocross with one driver. You can use them longer but they won't be as good/fast. Victoracers are good R compounds to start with and much more durable- may last two seasons or work with two drivers. Since the stock Fit doesn't have that much front negative camber you won't be using the full tread of the front tires, expect the outer edges to wear excessively. You can flip the tires so that the worn edges face the inside after about 30% of the outer edge is worn- this will extend the life of the tire and help to use the non worn inner edges. Flip only once is OK.
Tire rotation front to rear is fine with each event.
Fit Sport
15x6" rims +55mm offset
Estimated weight is 15 to 17.5 lbs each (based on some dealer sites that mention the weight).
