Zero poke. Flush with stock tire location. .75 taller.

Steering sweeps fine Even at 1/2 bump
What part of So Cal? Im in LA/SGV and been looking to meet up with other Fit owners

Also, I want pics of the wheels and fitment too. All of the wheels I like come in an 8" width and +20-35 offset. I am lowered about 1 inch and want to know if there are any rub issues

Replaced driver side head light due because it was staying fogged up. Turns out that the was a big crack!

Ordered the TYC unit for ~$120 off RockAuto (before shipping and tax). Made in Taiwan, quality seems good enough.

Removed the front bumper (which was most of the work)

4 bolts on the headlamp assembly, plus one on the front/lower bracket.

Man, that does look good.
And you said No rub at all, even at full turn? I have been loooking at whistlers or JNC032s and they only come in 8" width.

Ahhh man, I was about done for the year on the Fit and diving back into MTB; just got myself a full squish bike. But uhhh a used HKS exhaust is not a bad idea, neither is the short ram, is that the Sumole scoop? Please let me know.
Also, were you passing emissions with that Dp and exhaust combo?

full racked Hitting the driveway lip will rub a tiny bit on the plastic fender liner. The rears rub the liner at full dip a tiny bit too also while carrying around a hundred lbs of crap around in it and doin 80 down the highway. It’s only happened twice, at a pretty severe dip in the road tho.
I’ve reached in and grabbed the rears by hand n just tugged a few times around the wheel well. Maybe 1/4 inch of flex was noticeable in the fender itself, so I just kinda made the outer flex zone the relaxed state of the metal by gently working it outward. No roll. No equipment. Just some eyeball lovin. Haven’t heard a chirp since. The fronts tho, I may work a Lil more, I’ve noticed a tiny bit of plastic balled up from the inner liner, I pushed it up, again by hand and haven’t heard anything or seen more plastic since. It Kinda self clearances itself it seems.

now. The tires I slapped on were 30-40% worn so that may be helping the situation.
its definitely running some tight tolerances tho.
I may drop to a 35 profile when getting new skins which was my original want. But for the deal I got on these rubbers I wasn’t gonna complain.

Are you guys using wheel an tire calculators. ?
fitment calcs etc ?
They’re a huge help with the guesswork.

Installed my Progress rear sway bar an hour after UPS dropped it off today. The difference in stability and handling was more noticeable than I expected honestly!

Saturday wash Sunday drive!

I washed my Fit so I thought I'd take her for a spin. Mid 80's here in the valley but I drove up to Mt Charleston where it was in the 40"s.
