no... Because they r longer it wont work. You have to press out the hub. Thats y im slacking on mine. Now if u had oe ones then ya u could do that. Also make sure ur extended lug nuts will fit in the wheels u have. I made that mistake also. Had to get new wheels.

My Fit had a staring contest today with an endloader! They are building a new doctors office across from the empty lot that I park on and they had ample space to park this thing. In fact they had two empty spots behind it and guess where they decide to put that sucker!

Cat, does the paint on your car have a dash mounted 2 position switch labeled "ultra bright" and "dazzlingly ultra bright"....

Went to the dealer and had the low beam recall done today. It just consisted of replacing a single wire on top of the steering column. Was in and out in about 30 minutes for that.

Mind you, some Fits may need the actual signal stalk replaced as well so that will of course take a little longer.

I came back to FF!! Hello all my FF friends!

I've been very busy with other stuff (life, work, research), but I have gotten a few things done for the fit since last visit. See sig. for details.

TC, I took your advice and got the Swift springs. Got them installed this past August, and the things are awesome. It sure has been interesting driving around this winter with a lowered suspension, but well worth it. She may not be slammed, but I can't even begin to describe how much I hated the stock Rancho suspension look. I'm going to do the same to our Accord when I get a chance (I lurk on 6thgenaccord.com from time to time).

Only thing I'm doing for the Fit today is buy gas. So glad I have this car with gas prices on the rise (and don't be surprised if they go to $5/gal soon).

Ouch!!! Bummer! Those little tire/wheel setup don't take much to damage. I had to replace my front tire after hitting a big pothole doing only 35. My tire blistered on the sidewall. The rim survived though.
