15" Civic rims on Fit?

Planning on putting snow tires on the OEM steel rims next winter so I'm looking at picking up some 15" Civic alloys to use in the summers, since they're much easier to find around here then Fit sport rims.

Obviously I need 4x100.

Most Civic rims seem to be 15"x6" with a 45mm offset.

I would probably use 185/60R15 rubber (which is a close match to 195/55R15) as I'm often driving on country/bad roads.

Any reason this setup would have problems? It seems fine to me but I'm sure others here have more experience in these matters.

What year Civic? The 06+ are 5 lug, but I'm pretty sure the 01-05s are 4 lug.

Im currently running 185/60/15 the same exact setup u ask on a steel rims. i dont see why there should be a problem. 60 profile does helps alot absorb those bumpy roads for sure.

Some old OEM wheels look crappy, and some are off the hook!

Probably some of these:


They seem to be found on 7th gen civics (01-05). I think the Si ones but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm not too concerned about looks (as long as they're not so hideous they scare the lugnuts off the studs). The less likely they are to be stolen the better.

We run 185/60R15 on the other half's Echo so that's another reason I'd like to use that size on the fit.
