Question Will steel rims from an older civic fit?

I was thinking about picking up a set of junkyard rims for my '07 sport to run for the winter. Does anyone know if civic or other honda rims will fit this car?

I have a 2007 Fit Sport. I use 14" steel rims (with snow tires) from my old '92 Civic HB. They are VERY close to the brake caliper (within a 1/4") in the front. I used them all last winter, and have them on my car now. Never a problem.

You need to check the bolt pattern and size, then check the clearance between the brakes and the edge of the rims.

14 or 15 inch steelies will work off of a civic or integra
13's will clear the rear but not the front

I saw a set of the 13'' steelies form a Civic DX hatch in the salvage with 90 percent tread on the tires AND the sweet center caps. I knew they wouldn't fit. I was pissed. I wonder if the center caps would have fit my stock 14'' steelies . . . .
