You've been here long enough to know how to search.. c'mon now.

 

thanks, although there's a pic of the red coupe... i wouldn't tell if there are any mods involved in it prior to making it fit... that's why i asked.

 

You might need spacers. Some people didn't need them while others did.

 

wuts da difference? who needed em and who didn't? im talkin bout 7thgen civics here. will da set up fit?

 

Yes they will fit, if you would go in the picture thread couple pages back there is a black 2 door coupe with fit wheels on.

 

^^^ dood.. i went like 10 pages back and ****.. i didn't see any black 2 door coupe.

 

the honda fit uses wheels w/ some funky offset. the fit sport wheels will bolt onto the 7th gen but they will look sunken into the wheel wells. that's why people suggest installing spacers when using fit wheels.


IMO, fit wheels are not worth the effort since they don't really look that nice.

 

I also remember reading a post about someone having rubbing issues in the rear due to the offset. IIRC, it was hitting the trailing arm .. or something. Their way around it was to install spacers.

However, some people say they didn't have any rubbing issues and spacers weren't necessary.

 

might depend on how low the car is and how the car is aligned

 

u don't haveto worry bout my ride... mines stock

 

Possibly. I don't recall the specifics of it, only what I had mentioned.

 

That was me, mine were hitting the trailing arm so I had to add 1/4" spacer to avoid that...but then again mine are 1st gen USDM Honda Fit Sport wheels, I'm not sure of the specs on the 2nd gen.




and, mine don't look as sunken in as people say they are (note: no spacer up front)

 

15x6 +55



16x6 +53


Shouldn't be a problem, RJ, but there's only one way to know for certain.

 

i've seen those fit rims on a local 7th gen coupe and they did look really sunken in. actually, the one i saw looked even worse because the guy was using the super skinny fit tires.

 

LOL... shiii.. if i could just buy it and play russian roulette wid it, i will. but im afraid my pockets ain't that deep. .... LOL i know i fail. thanks tho man.

man ur car looks nice... i must say i dig the 1st gen rims too.. but i like the 2nd gen better. no offense.

 

Thanks bro, I like the 2nd gen ones better too but I got a pretty decent deal on these ones.
