I'm looking to buy a set for 500 with tires. wondering if they will work.

thanks

 

short answer yes it will

 

It will, and your going to love it

 

Only note I can make from going from 2008 Fit Sport 195/55-15 to 2011 Fit Sport 185/55-16 OEM wheels/tires is that the speedometer is a teeny bit off. When I am doing 60mph according to my phone or GPS my car speedometer is showing 62-63mph.

Personally, it doesn't bother me when I am driving but when my binary throttle driving wife is driving and she is doing 65 mph down a back roads posted at 55, I have to remind her the difference in citation fee's from 10-15 and 18+ over...

 

wait, the 2011 sport wheels have narrower tires then the 2008? that seems kind of weird I would have though they would have 205 or 195 at the very least.

 

Info pulled from TireRack.com:
2008 195/55-15 or 205/45-16
2011 175/65-15 or 185/55-16

Guessing the Honda engineers sorted out thinner is better for MPG and better driving in high water and snow?
Once the car is home this afternoon, I'll roll one of the 2008 Fit Sport wheels and place next to the 2011 currently mounted and show the difference.

 

yea thinner tires are better for snow and mpg

 

Before you use the wheels, check with the dealer to make sure the TPMS sensors on the 2011 Fit are compatible. If not, you must transfer the TPMS Valve stems from the 2008 wheels to the 2011 wheels.

 

TPMS is for lazy people anyway.
