My tire size is 185-55 R16 but Michelin X-ice 2 is 185 65 R15 and is the exact circumference.

I have my tires mounted on new 15' Honda rims I got from dealer.

My new snows are 185/65r15. They are BFG winter-slalom.

I have not seen them mounted yet. I dropped off the rims at tire dealer late Sept and they are storing them for me. Soon time to put them on.

Your Honda Fit has a 4 X 100 bolt pattern.

The other Honda size is 5 X 114.3...there is no 4 X 114.3 bolt pattern.

Right now I have nokian Hakkapeliitta RSi tires in 195/55R15 on my car for my snow shoes but I will be replacing them with the nokian Hakkapeliitta RSi but in 205/50R16 once these wear out. At the rate they are wearing, it looks like I will be using them for another two seasons. I've already used them for two seasons. I highly recommend these tires.

185/65R15 isn't the same circumference as 185/55 R16. It's larger. 175/65R15 is closer and is the stock size on the base.

Narrow tires work best for winter. I'm running 175/65R15 Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 on Honda 15x5.5" steelies.

The correct bolt pattern is 4x100mm.

Dragging this thread back from the dead... not sure if that's preferable on this forum to creating a new one?

I am looking for a second set of rims for my 2007 LX and saw a nice pair of aluminum's from a 2000 Accord. Everywhere I look states the bolt pattern as 4x114.3mm. Looks like Civics fit, Accords will not, is this accurate?
