What Rims are you guys going to carry for the Fit?
 
Just wonder in what rim sizes and brands you guys are going to carry for the Fit? 4x100 and in the high Honda Offsets?

Unfortunately we have not had a car here to test fit. As soon as I do I will post the options.

JAGmd 03-28-2006 03:41 PM

Jim,

Thanks for the reply. I can't speak for everyone but I think a bunch of people are interested in 15" & 16" rims while a few members want larger 17" and 18" options.

I think 16's are the way to go if you live in an area that has decent roads.

I think 16" is the way to go for Fit. Keep us updated on what tirerack have to offer for the Fit.

We just need a car in here to test fit.

If i drive down there and get test fitted, will i get free wheel/tire package?;)

Come on! A Big company like Tirerack should be able to afford a FIT to do some fitment! The small vendors on this forum already bought FITs!

All of the wheels are now up and on the site. If I can help you can give me a call or email.

I'm a totally wheel rookie, sorry guys. But what does 14x6.5 mean? I figured out that the Fit is 4x100, but I saw a listing for some rims for sale that said 14x6.5. Would these fit the Fit? Specifically, would they fit the tires I have for the base model?

17" work emotion, gramlights or volks

Hi Hatchgeek,

The "4 x 100" is a bolt pattern of four lugs in a square pattern with a 100 mm diagonal distance. The wheel size for the base Fit steelies is "14 x 5.5" meaning 14" diameter and 5.5" wide (with a +45 mm offset), while the Fit Sport alloys are 15 x 6 (with a +55 mm offset). Check out this website from another thread: http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp

On TireRack's website they feature many 14" and 15" wheels that will substitute for the originals.

For tires, the steel wheels come with "175/65 x R14 81S" tires, meaning 175 mm thick with a 65% aspect ratio of height/width, radial tires to fit 14" wheels, with further "81 S" tire characteristics-- check any tire manufacturer's website for defintions. The Honda alloy wheels come with 195/55 x R15 84H tires which are thinner but wider, than for the steelies, and can handle higher speeds & hotter temperatures. Again, many tires can replace the originals-- check with TireRack or your local tire dealer.

Hope this helps,
Bill Lakatos

You can email me or give me a call and I can go over what would best fit your needs. You can also do that on our web site.
Let me know if I can help.

are u using those white advans with the 35 offset? are getting any rubbing issues with and without a lower spring?

gimme 06-07-2006 11:54 PM

I work for Team Dynamics in Ontario, CA. I will be test fitting quite a few of our different wheels with different offsets throughout the week on my personal fit. I will post what I find.
