Welcome to the Forum!

Looks great! Great stance and the wheels really set it off.

What are your tire/wheel/suspension specs?

They look like Enkei SCO5 in 18"?

Yeah they are Enkei SC05's in 18. They are one of the very few 18's that have a 50mm offset which works great. I am sitting on Eibach Pro Kit's for now. I wanted to try them out for a while before I jumped into coil overs. Coil overs are great but they dont last as long as people think they do. I went through two sets on my STI but I still loved them

spacers and overs and you're set... serviceable overs should be your best bet

^^^"overs" Ahhh....coilOVERS. Took me a minute...

OP - Sweet man. Look cool. Yeah, I agree with Evil on the spacers. A little bit of push outboard would make it that much more "ill."

Very nice wheels and the drop is perfect.

What was the reason you got rid of your STI and got a Fit? Just curious =)

I had over 30 grand in mods on my sti. I ran low 11's in the quarter and it was my daily driver. I am going through a divorce so I sold it and bought something less expensive. Once the divorce is final ill get another fast car. But I'm in love with the fit as a daily driver so I will definitely be keeping it

The versatility of the fit is unmatched. It gets great gas mileage, is sporty looking (there are always those who argue that), its compact, and yet has enough variation with the rear seat configuration to store as much as a small suv.

For sure, totally hear ya. Both the STI and Fit are great cars with different personalities. I am sure you will really enjoy the Fit. I too would like to get a Fit for daily driving and some mods given its nice/sleek design, fuel economy, and nice little toy. Looking forward to seeing more goodies on your Fit soon

Thumbs up

Welcome to FF and once again, yet another reason why white rules on these cars! I think the wheels look very similar to the Audi RS4 wheels, bad ass

Now if the coilovers don't last that long why would you put them on, the car's stance is spot on and as far as wheel spacers go, I just don't trust them but then again I do go down to Deal's Gap once a year and I wanna be safe and sound. Those who've had good luck with safety w/ spacers, good for you but I've heard and seen too many horrible things, no thanks. With a 50mm offset and those size tires, why would you even consider messing with it, the car sits perfect

Once again, welcome aboard and sorry about the divorce, been there, done that!
