Just another n00b wheel question.......

So I got a black Base 09 Fit, will the 09 Stock Honda Sport wheels "fit"?
If not, are there any other wheels in the 16" range you'd recommend?
How high can the tires be before rubbing becomes an issue? Will the speedometer be off going to a larger wheel?

Thanks guys/gals.

Yes, I searched this site first.

P.S. This website is awesome!

Yes they will fit

As far as rubbing, you would probably need to be lowered first before worrying about it.

and the speedo...not sure, if it does mess it up its prob by like 1mph

Oh and where at in VA you from! haha

If a wheel fits on the sport model then it'll fit on the base model. There's no difference between the 2 cars.

doesn't sound like you are pushing any limits with what you want, just keep the ET from 43-50mm and the width that everyone seems to be in agreement on is 7-7.5, if you dont plan to lower your car then rubbing is no biggy

use this to help you:

If you put the same size tires as the sport model then you'll end up with the same overall height as the base model wheel and tire.

(well... ~1.5mm difference)

Thanks everyone! I went to the stealership earlier this evening and they wanted $435 per Sport Fit wheel. Kelly the parts girl was cute, but not that cute! WOW! What a ripoff. I'll have to look around I suppose. I saw 4 Sport wheels with tires on craigslist 2 weeks ago for 500 IIRC, but I waited too long......
The 08 Accord low horn was 20 bucks, too. Sheesh.
