Se sienten super bien. Pero se que no van a servir mucho para meterle al auto cross en Ponce. Me salieron en $66 cada una pero fue al costo con un distribuidor que es cliente mio. FIFA Racing. Ellos obviamente no te van a dar ese precio pero supongo que te las puden dar como en $70 y pico.

Nice grab with the wheels. I also agree with your comment about the base's lines without the kit. It has a more simplistic style to it.

Nice wheels everyone.

I have an anal retentive question:

At what point or size (of rims) does the speedometer start giving inaccurate readings?

The stock sport wheels are 15" and the HFP wheels are 16", does this mean Honda recalibrates the speedometer or is it not necessary?

Also, if the speedometer is off, by how much?

Thanks in advance and keep them Fits clean.

it's the inside diametre that changes, not the outside...
so if the profile of the tire is respected, the outside
diametre will be the same on all rim size...

for example -

lets say the stock size is tire/rim is 195/55/15 (15"x6" rim) the same outer diameter of the wheel of a 16"x7" rim would be 205/45/16. The middle number sort of represents the height of the tire from the rim (its not exact because its a ratio of 2 measurements). The correct size tire for a 17"x7" would probably be 205/40/17.

195/55/15 outer diameter = 23.44 inches or 595.37mm
205/45/16 outer diameter = 23.26 inches or 590.80mm
205/40/17 outer diameter = 23.45 inches or 595.63mm

all of these tire sizes are within 1% of the stock size resulting in a very minimal change to the speedometer.

I used the calculator here at 1010tires.com

16x7 Polished Rota Slips on SSM =)

16x7 +45 offset polished rota slips on 205/45/16 Pirelli Pnero zero tires

After a quick run around the block, rubbing on the front, so far none in the back, but it was just me driving. The rubbing comes from my front end being so slammed I'm sure. I snapped a couple of quick, crappy pics in the rain..

btw I need to repolish these wheels but I wanted them on the car asap..so yeah they're not in the greatest looking condition.






comments/questions welcome..but I haven't really gone out driving with them though, just down the street and back

Nice car, rims, pics, gives me an idea what my Fit will look like when I get my wheels. Not lowering my car though, not my thing.

Makes me sad that you are rubbing with 16x7 +45 on the T1r V2 springs as I was going to get 16x7 or 17x7 +42 with the same springs. I think Im going to get coilovers and probably roll the fenders.

yeah I'm dissappointed in the front wheels rubbing along the fender lining.. not the actual fender itself. I think I may opt to get different springs that don't lower the fit as much so I won't have this as an issue.. I love my drop though and never had issues with the stock 15"s =(

sure thing bro, im liking what you've been doin to it.
anyways 2 bad for the rubbing, im betting its the drop. you could get a /40 series tire or get a new set of springs as you said, that dont drop the advertised ''1.6 T1R say they drop on the front. G.L.
