Rim Test Fit

When my friend gets back in town.... Im test fitting these 18's TSW Kyakami Wheels in Chrome with 225/40 Gforce Sport tires and on my Blue Sensation 08 Base fit (auto).

What do you think?

I already know is going to be a total bigger circumf of about 6.7. About a 9.3% percent differnce in my speedo. So at 60 I will be going +-65. I am hoping it will "fill" in the gaps without lowering the car and then I can add my lip kit.....

I think 18's are a little big for the Fit IMHO. Also the 08 is still first gen.

225/40/18 is way to big of a tire.... to run on a 09 Fit!..... .you"ll be limited to tire size if you want to run 18's ..... 205/35/18~215/35/18.... and thats pretty much it... you"ll also need a wheel with a very high offset.... 45mm ET + if your using a 7.5 wheel.. and 42mm+ ET on a 7 inch width wheel...

Good luck...

i think the MODS should take the year out. people get confused and post on gen 2 threads.
whats so hard about it saying 1st gen GD
2nd gen GE

thats not hard. also we could add details in the FAQ's section on this.
i know there are 08 ge's out there but most of the people
on this board are from usa. which means all usa cars are 09 ge's.
no such thing as 08 ge's here at least.
