OFFSET for FIT EV????? Anybody???

Yeah, I'm the freak of the freak site with a EV, but it's going to get the treatment if I can figure out the wheel situation. They are 5-lug and I'd guess that they are the standard 5-lug (4x4.5) pattern, but I need to know the offset to go with 16s or at least wider 15s.

Anyone?

The offset is usually cast into the back of the wheel along with the size. Have you tried pulling one off and having a look?

No, that would be too easy.

So I found out the EV rotor 45251-TA0-A01 is the same as:
4 DOOR LX 2008
4 DOOR LX+ (LX PLUS) 2008
4 DOOR LX 2009
4 DOOR LX+ (LX PLUS) 2009
4 DOOR LX 2011
FIT EV 2013 5 STD

I believe that's Accord. So 5x114.3. As far as offsets good luck finding that... Probably best to just measure it yourself. I couldn't find a damn thing anywhere. The wheels aren't for sale anywhere and Tirerack doesn't have any info either since it says "no wheels fit the EV" basically lol

Obviously they do, they just don't have enough info.

Probably +55. Just take one off and check.

Yeah, I was hoping for the easy way out. I'll quit being lazy.

I found several I like in 16x7.











Yes, a couple are shown on 4-lug, but they also come in 5-lug.

There is actually a (albeit small) sweet spot for high offset 5x114.3 16". That was Integra Type R territory. Mugen, Spoon, OEM Type R....all would be awesome choices.

I like these, but that's a hefty offset.

If you change out the wheel and tire with a wider/heavier set up -you will see a pretty big reduction in fuel economy (i know you don't use fuel, you know what i mean) i'd say just lower it on stocks - fits look good lowered on stocks! maybe a set of spacers, just be sure to check torque every month

Yes, I will have to be aware of weight, but the stock 15"s just feel too small.
