I was wondering if anyone was running 18x8 40offset and 18x9 20offset on your fit? Will it clear?

I just bought a 2010 TW Fit!

 

I have only seen a few people with 18's not sure the details, but the tires you have to ride on is pretty lean. So you're going to compromise comfort. Congrats on your new fit...I would focus more on a 17 inch wheel for a compromise. If you get the right one they will look pretty big...

 

Well I was asking because I already have these wheels here at the shop. When I get a chance I will try and fit them. I just wanted to see if someone was running this setup. I also want to drop it on eibach springs

 

make an intake manifold for it

 

well since you got them already, and you are willing post up pictures when you can, I'm sure everyone would want to see.

 

dewthedew - we have already looked at the intake manifold for this car and might havve something in the near future.

Stormtrooper I will have time next week to fit the rim to see what it looks like and I will take pics.

 

for an everyday drive, i wouldnt go bigger than 17''s. just sayn'...

 

i hope you dont make it curl over the head like stock. cause it would be so much easier to make a better breathing intake and/ or piece a turbo kit together.

as for the wheels, you can make it fit. it all depends on the offset and tire size and how low you're rolling. good luck on the wheels.

 

The manifold will be in the same location sorry to say

 

bummer but oh well... better than the oem one with the plastic portion. unless i go custom.

 

yea needa see pics...look at mugenap2's Fit. He has 18's on it. Looks nice

 

OMG! LMAO! A completely shameless [but effective] way to get someone to post pics, ANY pics! Lol... this forum has more pic-sluts than any forum I've ever visited!


Lol, but you're not really all that interested... you're just looking out for the rest of us, eh?

Shameless, image-junkie... just shameless!

 

Do it Chris!!!

 

I'm pretty sure everyone is pretty much a picture slut now because of the Internet and the quote "this thread is useless without pics" show me the mone... Rims :-D

 

ohh well next week I will know if they will work and also next week i will be making the lower tie bars

 

Alright check it out the first picture below is the 18x9 with a 20 offset and as you can see they stick way out! so thats out. Next picture is a 18x8 with a 40 offset and its HELLA FLUSH!!! but it dont think its going to clear with a tire on it and its close to a piece that comes from the rear suspension arm. Now I am going to make a few calls to see about some 17x7 and some 16x8 wheels. I am on a quest now everyone hahaha

 

Try 17x7.5 +40...thats what I have. But not installed lol

 

yea im waiting on some 17x7 40offset

 

did u try compressing the rear end with 18x8 +40? ur suppose to have a slight negative camber when u drop it. i think.

 

That's what I had and they were perfectly flush with the fender. I think you will end up liking the size.
