Yup I needed spacers for the front. The rim were hitting the calipers.

i'm having the same problem aswell.. I got 15" Sprint Harts and i had to put a 3mm spacer on the front aswell... It's hitting the calipers aswell. The funny thing is this rims clear TYPE R brakes but not the Jazz brakes!! bhwbhbhbbabhabhabha.. I think Jazz comes standard with Brembo calipers!!! heheheheh :)

What an attractive car?!
 
Hey there!

Jus wanna say your car looks amazing!? How long have you had it? The 15 wheels came as standard didnt they? I think 17s would look absolute mint on your ride! I especially like the contrast the darker windows give it! Have you modded the engine in any way?

Hi Lori,

Thank you.

The car had 14" rims. I'm using 16" now. I like 17" rims but good tires for that are expensive.

Little Panda 08-27-2005 05:05 AM

Thanx
 
Yea the 14 inch wheels come as standard over here in the UK (however these tend to look like 'little biscuits' compared to the 'chubby' appearance of the car, especially when seen next to the pick up truck wit 18" wheels) lol! just wondered if perhaps that was different elsewhere! Im planning to put 17 inch wheels on my baby once i get her, had mine designed for a while so really pleased its soon to become reality! How long have you had your car?

In Australia the GLi (1.3 DSI) and VTi (1.5 VTEC) come with 14" and the VTi-S (1.5 VTEC) comes with 15".

On the dirt tracks that they call roads in Sydney low profile tyres with big wheels last as long as the 1st pot hole. I had a set of 15" 50 profile Racing Sparco rims on a previous car which required one wheel to go in for repair every other month.

A kidney belt is also required to withstand the constant jarring that hard suspension and low profile tyres bring on shocking roads.

You'll probably have to roll the guards to fit 17s. 16" 45 profiles fit without a problem.

Little Panda 08-27-2005 09:35 AM

Kidney Belt?!
 
What is a kidney belt Vivid???

They are a belt used originally by weight lifters and now by professions that do a lot of lifting as part of their job (fork lift drivers) to prevent low-back and kidney pain, supporting the kidneys, and internal organs. They now use them in motorsport particuarly off road motorcycling.

Little Panda 08-28-2005 05:45 AM

Ooooooh i see! Thanx for the info abt that! I've seen them on weight lifters but didnt kno forklift drivers had them too! You learn something new everyday!!! :)

We had discussions of this in the Fit Trix forum. Lori, you might want to check it out before buying the rims you want. 17" will fit without any complications with the correct offset and tire size. Keep in mind the road conditions of your area. Might not be worth it.

^CarBoy^ 08-31-2005 03:24 AM

oh yeah.. same here... My Sprint Harts are hitting aswell... anyways yeah the spacers helped... :)

you understand tagalog?

The road conditions where i am in the UK are great so i'm doubting this will be a problem, i've taken everything into consideration but thanx all the same! :)

shaolin 09-06-2005 01:51 PM

what size wheels do you have on and is your car lowered?

ken1279 09-06-2005 01:58 PM

The rim size is 15" with 195/55/15 tires. Yes the car is lowered using H&R Sport Springs.

shaolin 09-06-2005 02:25 PM

it looks really good.

i don't know if i want to lower this car cuz this will be my future daily driving car.

You might want reconsider. In my opinion, the ride is better with the aftermarket springs.

shaolin 09-08-2005 11:26 AM

Ken,

what kind of body kit do you have? is that the oem front bumper plus aftermarket lip?

ken1279 09-09-2005 10:38 AM

Shaolin, it's all oem.

shaolin 09-09-2005 11:08 AM

wow!!! this is the kit that come with the oem?? that's nice.. before i know this i was thinking to get the mugen kit that's white color in the gallery section

^CarBoy^ 09-09-2005 11:14 AM

Shaolin: before you start thinking about bodykits try to find out which Jazz model is coming to the US first. Ken1279's Jazz is the pre Facelift model (before 2005) that's why that particular Modulo kit fits. The kit will not fit on my Jazz. The 2005 has a new version of the Modulo Kit which I am getting... i will post pics when i get it installed.

Thanks! Yeah I like the white one! I think the best color for the Jazz is white.

Thanks! Engine performance? It's just right for city driving. It has good acceleration and has the best fuel consumption. Can't go wrong with this car.

Errol 09-12-2005 07:27 PM

I should ask also about availability of parts
