I will be collecting my new Fit EX next week, and have been researching wheel/tire packages for it. There doesn't appear to be a lot of info on the board here yet about wheel fit for the GK Fits, but from what I could gather, the stock wheel & tire specs are:

185/55R16H tires
16” diameter
6.5” width
+45mm offset
56.1mm hub bore
4x100 bolt pattern
12x1.5 lug nuts, ball seat

I used the tire/rim calculator here as well as on a couple other sites, and it looks like a 16x7 wheel with 40mm offset and 205/50R16 tires should work okay without any other mods to the car. That combo is pretty close to the stock circumference and should cause the speedo to indicate approximately 0.24% too fast (negligible). I looked at a couple 17" options, but they all seemed to be 7.5" widths (more likely to rub) and the circumferences were somewhat larger, which would cause more noticeable differences in indicated speed. The 16s should be fine for me - our Central Illinois rural farm roads are more pothole than pavement.

Also, I haven't been able to confirm from what I've read, but it appears the rear wheels may benefit from a wheel spacer (~20mm?) to push the rear tires out to a similar distance from the fender lip as the front tires.

I photoshopped a few photos with the wheels I'm planning to get (Rota RB). I'm also planning to swap my front and rear trim panels for the LX (non-chrome) bits, and that's shown in the images.

If anyone reading this has *actual experience* with this combo on a GK Fit, please confirm it will work (no rubbing). I don't plan on any suspension mods, other than maybe a rear sway bar if they ever come available.

Looking forward to my new Fit!
