Ok first things first...

Check machiii.net for some better pricing and free shipping.

Ok, that is out of the way--you will need to have a tire shop transfer your tpms (tire pressure monitoring system) unless you want to have that light on your dash. I am not sure, but you may also need to have them reprogrammed by Honda ( the different size of tire may require a reset...not sure).

7.5 means that those wheels are 7.5 inches wide.

Hope that helps.

7.5 wide! Some others will have to help me here but you may have clearance issues. Going that wide you'll have to be careful esp if lowered.

I agree that it is pretty wide...but the offset is there.

I dunno, I personally wouldn't go wider than 7 inch. But I'm a poon, soooo...

7.5 is perfect with a +45-46 offset with 205-40-17 no rubbing t1r-s coils

see like i dono what would work and stuff,, im COMPLETLY lost with all those numbeers being talked...?!

Btrthnezr3 · #8 (**permalink**) 10-11-2009, 10:29 PM

Ok dude...go check out machiii.net

You are going to want an offset of around 45, especially if you are lowered.
On machiii.net it will be listed as +45mm

Check out some rims...post the style you like on here and we'll help you out.

dude if you don't even know what the 7.5 in 17x7.5 means you should do a TON of research before buying

dustin_said_hi · #10 (**permalink**) 10-11-2009, 10:40 PM

Rota C-10
Rota Torque
Rota SDX
Rota SVN

Gbaby2089 · #11 (**permalink**) 10-11-2009, 10:41 PM

dustin_said_hi · #12 (**permalink**) 10-12-2009, 03:45 AM

btrthnezr3 need you help buddy :/

dustin_said_hi · #13 (**permalink**) 10-12-2009, 03:51 AM

alsoo, what tires would i want to be getting with these??

Btrthnezr3 · #14 (**permalink**) 10-12-2009, 12:22 PM

Ok...me personally, I wouldn't go bigger than 17.

And at 17, I would be looking for one that said +45mm (that's the offset).

Tire sizes, someone else could probably help you more.
But if you know how much you want to spend...and you pick out your wheels, you could call up machiii.net, tell them what car you have, and they can probably recommend a few tires.

All of those wheels would look nice. I'm looking at getting Torque Hyper Black--but in 16 inch.

Your car is black, right? The SDX in polished sports bronze would look so secks on black.

Let me break that down.

The Circuit 10 wheel specs you're looking at are:
17 x 7.5 4x100 +45 67.1mm hub bore

17 - wheel diameter, in inches

7.5 - wheel width, in inches

4x100 - number of lug holes and PCD (pitch circle diameter). This means there are 4 lug holes on the wheel, and their centers form a circle 100mm in diameter. You have to get 4x100 wheels to even fit them on a Fit. Anything else (4x114, 5x100, 5x114, etc) will NOT work.

+45 - offset, in millimeters. Basically this means how far the wheel sticks out when mounted. Positive offset means it tucks in more, negative offset means it sticks out more. Offset is critical on Fits and most FWD cars if you don't want rubbing problems - go any lower than +42 and you risk rubbing on the rear fenders under load. +45 offset is perfect though.

67.1mm hub bore - the diameter of the center opening of the wheel (the "hub bore"). On stock wheels the hub bore matches with the center spigot of the Fit - this is the little circular nub in the center of the hub assembly, and where the weight of the car rests when a wheel is mounted. On aftermarket wheels the hub bore is usually bigger than the center spigot size because they have to fit a lot of cars. Fitting hub-centric rings will remedy that. That basically bridges the gap between the hub bore and the center spigot.

As for tire size...someone already mentioned 205/40R17. That's the size you should get.

205 = tread width in millimeters
40 = aspect ratio of the sidewall. It's the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the tread width (in this case 40% of 205mm - do the math)
R = radial tire construction
17 = diameter in inches of the wheel this tire should be mounted on

By the way nice wheels. I run 16x7 Circuit 10s myself.

A 215/40-17 (at 23.8") more closely matches the stock tires at 24.1" versus a 205/40-17 which is 23.5". The 215 has .4 of an inch more section width (8.7") over the 205 at 8.3" section width. And both section widths were noted using 7.5" wheels.

Dustin I am looking for a set of wheels as well after the exhaust and intake, kinda having some problem deciding which one to go for

Rota SVN don't look too bad =) I like them

thanks all ++;;

look at these bro Wheel Buys .com

Nick_ · #20 (**permalink**) 10-13-2009, 11:33 AM

those are nice as well, i like the painted lip on the wheels
I want those Volk RE30 in bronze so bad but i don't have $3500+ for them =(((
just gonna go for the knockoffs like konig or rota. I have been comparing both brands, I am more leaning towards Konig wheels but just gonna wait and see what people say about it

i guess we are heading to same direction with our fit dustin, exhaust then wheels =)

are you planning on lowering it?
