Thanks for the comments... planning to change the lugnut to red to look more agressive.

I would leave them as is, looks good and red lugs will fade over time and end up looking pink

That's when you just buy new ones . Mutekis are cheap enough.

Put Ichiba extended studs/10mm spacers on the rears tonight. Nice little widened footprint, looks decent. Did have to remove the hubs though since the new lug nuts were too long. Luckily my brother brought his impact gun and a 32mm socket from work for me to use. Made pretty quick work of the whole thing.

Before and after photos. And during

^What happened to your old spacer setup? I actually used your old pictures to reference my new specs in the works

Cool! When I first got the wheels they came with 195/45/16, so they worked with the +42 offset and 15mm/20mm spacers f/r respectively. I went to 205/50/16 and that was just a tad too much for those spacers. Also I was still on coils so much lower. Took the spacers off and just rocked the +42 for a while. Actually looks really good on the front imo, perfect offset for 16x7 205/50. The back wasn't as hot though, so I went with these 10mm spacers. Coulda gone 15mm, but still looks good.

Looks good, get a whole pic of the car from the side when you get a chance

Next set of tires I'm going to 205's for sure, I'm also on 16x7 +42's

I've seen and heard a few things myself but I got this off another Fit bro so I figured it fit fine.

Thanks! Install was easier than I thought haha, didn't have trouble with the rubber hangers at all with a little wd-40. Sounds just right for a DD to me! It's quiet(obviously not as quiet as stock)-- you hear it revving up but very quiet when cruising, no drone. I wouldn't mind if it was just a "liiittle" more louder but it's all good haha.

This is the only clip I got of it, on instagram, sorry, let me know if it works:

I've been meaning to do this, but I've read that the alarm sound when you lock/unlock is still the same "meep meep" sound because it uses a secondary horn right?
