Wheel spacers.

Just put 17 inch dr-23 wheels on my 2009 Fit.Was wondering about wheel spacers. I was thinking about 25mm for the rear. Any thoughts?

Its possible. Are you lowered? On what? 25mm will probably out poke the fronts. Is your goal to flush with the fronts?

Mount them and measure the difference from lip to fender. Metric tape measure well make that easier.

Man I want to pics of this! I just ordered 5mm spacers for my rears to bring them out a little. I may have needed to go bigger but 25mm! I gotta see this! Are you looking to poke a little? I just want mine to look like the fronts... flush...

Just measured and 25mm looks like a little much. Def want them to poke out more than the fronts.

Anyone know how thick of a wheel spacer you can go with without having to buy longer studs??? (for rear, not sure if it makes a dif)

I have 15mm spacers and they will definitely need longer studs.

^this, Ive got 8mm and I havent experienced any issues yet without longer studs but I did lose about 2-3 turns of the lugs with them. I will most likely be extending them soon

Im thinking about getting these (if I dont get new wheels soon)
More expensive, but you dont have to worry about getting extended studs
