If you have a (US market) EX or higher trim 2015 Fit (GK), your cast aluminum OEM wheels have the following specs:

16x6 size
4-100 bolt pattern
56.1 hub bore
+53 offset



OEM tire size is 185/55R16, and earlier cars seem to have come with Bridgestones (as did mine, with a build sequence in the 196-- range). Later cars seem to be coming with Firestone tires.

Adding a 20-25mm spacer to the rear wheels will bring them out nearly flush with the fender and is an inexpensive way to change the look of the car.

Someone with an LX is welcome to post the steel OEM 15" wheel/tire specs below, and if you have installed a set of aftermarket wheels on your car, please post your specs (all info listed above, please) and a pic or two.

In my country, the OEM tyre is Goodyear Excellence. Same size and rating. Adequate for all wet condition road.

 

Could you double check your wheel offset? I could have sworn that I read +53mm offset on the GK5 EXs wheels I've seen in person.

 

Will do. I should have paid attention to that when I pulled a wheel to get the width... I've had such a hard time finding all the specs, I wanted to put them in one place. Some of the info contradicts itself, and this might be one of those cases. Prob won't pull the wheel again until my aftermarket ones arrive this coming week.

EDIT - Went back through the pics I shot, and it turns out I took one of the markings on the back side - it does appear to be a 53mm offset, so I updated the info above and added the pic.

Hey, no biggie. We all slip up from time to time. If memory serves me right, the GK has identical wheel/tire specs as the GE... if not the exact same. We had gotten a LX model in a couple of days ago but I never had got a chance to see look at what wheel and tire size they run yet. I do know that these one in particular came equipped with Firestone tires.

are the LX steelies the same but in 15 in?

4x100
56.1mm hub
15x6 +53et

 

Not sure.... Someone with an LX will need to pull a wheel and confirm the offset.

Yes, I just looked at mine .

 

This really should be a sticky. Thanks, stembridge. Now all we need is the wheel's weight. Did you keep your OEM alloys?

 

That's what is stamped on the rims.

 

How's the fit of the wheel/tire combo? Any rubbing? How close to flush are you? Are you lowered at all?

Thanks!

 

Not lowered, and if I hit a big whoopdedoo, the fronts will kiss the plastic fender liner briefly. More here.

Sold 'em already...

I just took a picture of my wheel specifications:

15X6J
PF 50 (offset)
Fumagalli
T5R
10/07/14 Mexico
F3150

 

I just ordered 185/60R-15 General Altimax Arctic with studs mounted on 15X6 black painted steel wheels from TireRack.com for $685.92 (including shipping)

The wheel offset on these basic steel wheels is 45. The Fit's stock 15 inch wheel offset is 50. According to my Honda dealership the 5mm difference isn't anything the worry about, the wheels will stick out slightly but won't be noticeable or cause any mechanical issues.

 

I ordered my 185/60/15 Michelin x-ice xi3's from discount tire, mounted to 15x6 steel wheels with a +41mm offset. They fit very well.

The front wheel is about flush, the rear could use a 10mm spacer to sit flush, but i'm not worried about it.

 

so matt did you end up with any issues with the 45 offset?

 

Got this installed early 2015.
Enkei RPF1 17×7J +43
Kumho Ecsta SPT KU31 205/45R17
Had no problem until I changed from Tein H-Tech springs to KYB Lowfer Sports Kit(Shock+Springs). The KYB kit is much more comfort and slight lower with 2 finger gap up front.
WILL RUB the front fender clip if driving over uneven surface at normal speed and I am not talking about pothole. So this setup is NOT recommended if you going change your suspension.
I think the stock offset +53 for GK is there for a reason.
I'm going to order new set of wheel soon. Which will be WORK EMOTION 11R 16×6.5J +52 and using stock tire size 185/55R16. One of the recommended size I found on work-wheels.co.jp for GK5.
Will upload pictures here again once I get them.
Picture shown are with Tein H-Tech springs.

 

Here we go, arrived today, fitted today.
