See that car looks sick. looks pretty clean. i guess ill just have to measure when i get my suspension. i want to get that t1r coilover kit. not sure if its going to be too low to put 18s.

I have the t1r kit on my car. Trust me it will sit high enough if you need it to. It will also sit low enough if you need it too

yeah unless you fork out like at least 2k for the rims. 18's wont look good AT ALL. those HRE wheels are expensive...they look good, but are EXPENSIVE!!!!

honestly dont go more then 17's...you will hate life

ya my bro got 24s on his tahoe with a 30 series tire. ($4000) and already bent a rim after the first 2 weeks.

HRE's are ridiculous. When I use to work for dodge, I know alot of the viper guys use to fork out 2k+ per rim. Insanity...

I have 18's and they fit fine. they are 18x7 with 215/35's yeah gas mileage went down but not much(not like we have a bit to give). They don't rub unless youhave a bunch of weight in the back. they look sick and when u pull up 2 the usual tuner(17's won't cut it ) they get embarassed cus your lil ride has more rim 2 offer.

BTW whtsjdm 15'sor 16's? I had 15's when i was in high school and that was like 8 yeas ago. bigger is better

I

think 17" is perfect rim for honda FIT.

SD_MR_FIT · #28 (**permalink**) 06-19-2008, 12:18 PM

no way...

16's are perfect for the fit all around.....

17's are perfect only for looks. heh

Haha please. It's a honda

, not a caddy/lincoln/etc. Bigger looks good to a point, but when it's making it to where your car sits high as ****, no thanks. Even if I went VIP status on my fit i'd still only rock a 16x8/9 . Besides, try road racing with a 17/18 on the fit

18's may be for some, but it's not my thing no offense.

I would think 17s would be commonplace and 18s would be more accepted. Look at the sportcompact segment right now the mazdaspeed3 comes stock with 18s, the dodge caliber srt4 comes stock with 19s. Right now 18s are the norm and 19s are for the guy that wants to stand out from the crowd a little.

SD_MR_FIT · #31 (**permalink**) 06-19-2008, 04:27 PM

but those are Bigger cars.....generally bigger cars have bigger wheels.

whtsjdm-i have canyon run with my 17's and i grip really well actually. i dont rub at all...my 17's weigh 15lbs without tires. so its just as much as any oem wheel i would say. i was the only person that was rocking the lowest fit daily drivin with 17's. i was lower then people dropped on 15's .

undropped fits +bigger wheels(or anywheels) = FTL heh

imfinallyfit · #32 (**permalink**) 06-20-2008, 01:57 AM

I think 17's are respectable on any tuner. unlike any of you guys i live in the mountains and can't drop my car on the ground cus it sees more than primadonna pavement. im not driving it on dirt roads but i would be plowin snow if i was low and the rain is another story. 15's or 16's not big enough,these are the size wheels that any old 1980's honda has on it. we're moving to a new age and everything has bigger wheels and lo pros.plus road racing, i drive on mountain roads all the time, to me this kind of driving is just another trip to work.

(not tryin to ruffle any feathers but this is my outlook)

whtsjdm · #33 (**permalink**) 06-20-2008, 02:13 AM

I totally see where everyone is coming from. I'm use to clean EG's EK's DC's etc. with 15's or 16's. I like big wheels, I had 18's on my srt4. On Honda's it always been smaller for me though. Probably because most of the jap wheels that are 4x100 are usually 15's or 16's.

NaTuReB0Y · #34 (**permalink**) 06-20-2008, 03:23 AM

I almost went with 18s.........

but ended up with 17s....and H&R sport dropped.....no regrets!

methodbasic · #37 (**permalink**) 06-21-2008, 03:29 PM

not my car, but 18s look pretty good imo

Arisenfury · #38 (**permalink**) 06-22-2008, 11:08 PM

God that looks awful... The Fit cannot pull off 18" wheels. Not only does it look rediculous on such a little car it must kill all aspects of driving it.

imfinallyfit · #39 (**permalink**) 06-24-2008, 12:21 AM

wow just when things were calming down someone's gotta go ruin the mood. I think it looks pretty good. if you don't like it then pass on the whole 18" thread.

Arisenfury · #40 (**permalink**) 06-24-2008, 12:43 AM

lol it's not a private club only for people with 18" wheels. I can give my opinion on them just the same as you can give your opinion on 15 and 16 inch wheels. How a car looks is relative to the person doing the looking, if you think everyone is gonna like your gigantic wheels then you're wrong and if you only want to hear opinions of people who agree with you then an internet forum is not the place to go.
