I just transferred from the world of Scion to the world of Fit. Loved the Box but over time, these lil bastards grew on me. So after the xB took a crap, I pulled the trigger and just bought a 2011.

I have a few questions though....

I have some Axis Racer X rims that I would love to transfer over to the Fit, but I checked a webiste and it said they wont fit. Rims are 15x7 4x100 and tires are Falken ZIEX 195/60/15.

My Scion was dropped on tein basic coilovers and never had any rubbing issues. Can anyone help?

 

well there is nothing wrong with the width, diameter, bolt-pattern, or your tire size.

What is the offset of these wheels? That would be the determining factor

 

Offset is +38. That's why I'm confused why the site would say it won't fit.

 

1.) Put 'em on the car
2.) Drive around the block
3.) ???
4.) Profit

 

if you arent lowered, you shouldnt have a problem at all

 

I want to lower. That is also another concern. The diameter as a whole for the axis wheel/tire is the same as the fit sport rims/tires.

 

That wheel should work. Depending on what you lower with a fender roll would solve any problems. I run +40 with roll, and have no issues.


Welcome to the Fit world. Please dont go back

 

I don't ever plan on it!

 

just wait till Occam sees this thread!
why would you go from a 16" wheel to a 15" wheel unless you're doing it for MPG reasons (i bet the fit gets better out of the box than the XB)
the +38 might rub depending how low you go (i believe the 2011 fit likes +42)
just try them out! if they give you trouble trade/sell them and get better ones

 

Oh yes! I was very into the "Scion" scene for a bit. Almost bought another one, until I woke up from my nightmare lol!

On the subject of rim size though....I really like the style of rim I have. And if I can keep em I'm gonna. There's a brand new set of Falkens on those boys and I wanna get my moneys worth lol
