15" 04 Civic EX Alloys: Are they the correct offset for the Fit?
Thanks for the feedback. The reason I'm asking is a few weeks ago, I hit and went over a curb at about 5 mph with the right front and since,that I've been feeling a vibration in the steering, I think from the front of the car. I just had the car aligned and replaced the front tires because they were out of round. Now, (after the alignment and new front tires) the car pulls slightly right and still has some vibration in the steering, but not as bad. I've also recently balanced all the tires. What else could cause this vibration? Thanks
Possible a bent wheel?
You need to take it back to that place. Have the tires roadforced and matched. And the alignment checked. Roadforcing can determine if its a bad tire or bent wheel. My guess is a bent wheel.
If they cant do roadforce, take it to Honda to do it.
Offset wouldnt have anything to do with vibrations. It would be hub bore and sometimes lugs. All Hondas are the same hub bore I believe.

I think I'll probably take it back to the tire shop as I'm a bit frustrated at having spent $300 for new front tires and an alignment, only to still have a vibration issue.... If that doesn't work, I try a Honda dealer.
I took it back to the tire place. It turns out after testing and inspecting the rear tires, that all 4 of my original Fuzion VRI tires were severely cupped as a result of the previous owner apparently NEVER rotating the wheels!!! I am replacing the tires will Nokian I3 all seasons 195/55/15. I will report back when I get the car later today.
It's possible there were other wear problems, the rear tires were definitely the cause of the vibration problem. Nokian is mostly known for snow tires, but they make nice all season tires as well. I'm happy with them. Finally, no vibrating on the highway!
