I know our stock size is 56mm and the gram lights are 63.3

You will not need hub rings. The wheel is centered with the studs. Trust me, I run my Miata with Konig Heliums and no rings and it is smooth. Hub rings should only be used for example in most German cars because the wheel actually sits on the hub to center the wheel. German cars use bolts where as most Japanese use studs with lug nuts. Save your money.......here is a good link if you still have doubts....http://www.good-win-racing.com/mazda...ml?id=Nd3x9uHD

Just scroll down a bit at the link to read the Hubcentric ring section. Just make sure you use a torque wrench when you tighten your lugs. I usuallys use 80 ft/lbs.....

FYI, we use rings for the Volks on the S2Ks.

The Fit is lug centric, not hub centric...
You don't need these rings...

You need the hub rings. I've taken a Hunter Engineering course specific to Honda's they recommend using centering rings. Not only do they help center the wheel they also help support the weight of the vehicle rather than them being solely onthe studs. Do what you want, I'm only telling you what I've learnt at a Honda approved course.

don't know about you, but i don't want my lugs to be the only supporting points

and also without the rings on my 4 sets of rims, they all vibrate at highspeeds

with the rings, they don't at all

for $25 CAD, i am not going to cheap out on them

I understand that hubrings fill the gap between the hub and
the wheels... I don't have any vibration at any speed w/ my
Gram Lights 57S and I don't use rings... I just wanted to say
that it's a good idea to use these rings BUT it's not needed...
I'm verry carefull when I torq my lugs etc... Like you said: for
$25, go for it...

Faster than I should... most of the time is 120km/h but I like to
push the car limit so let say 150 160 170 but only when the road
is clear... don't want to kill someone or myself...
