07 Fit HFP Wheels on EM2

I have been curious as to how these HFP wheels of the fit would look on my em2. I can't seem to find any information that anyone has really tried. All I know about them is they are the same bolt pattern and have a 55 offset. Would that fit and does anyone know where pictures might be if someone has done this before so I can see how it will look.

Re: 07 Fit HFP Wheels on EM2

there was one guy asking this exact same thing a few months ago, but i dont remember who it was, or if he actually went for getting these rims.

as for the 55 offset, thats cutting it close. it also depends on the width of the rim too, im guessing theyre 7"? most guys dont go with an offset bigger than +44. typically on aftermarket we use +38 to the +44 range on 7th gens.

by using a 55 offset you will be having the inner wall about 2-2.5 cm further towards the car than stock, so the rear should be fine, but you might get a slight rub on the fronts.

sloppy work in MS Paint but gives you an idea... i think it would be worth it to save some money and get aftermarket gunmetal wheels but just my 2 cents...

Haha, A member posted these pics about a year ago and the thread was just bumped last week. I saved the pics to my computer cause I was thinking the same thing, he said no fitment or rubbing issues at all. Thread was called Honda fit hfp wheels if you want to find it.

Re: 07 Fit HFP Wheels on EM2

I am trying to stay away from aftermarket. I like the OEM look a lot and I love the new HFP wheels on the SI's. I also found these wheels http://www.honda-tech.com/attachment...1&d=1230035083 but I have no idea what they are off of.

Those wheels in the link are HFP EP-R5. 16x6.5 +45. They were made explicitly for the 01-05 Civic. Also, I am most certain the Fit HFP wheels are also 16x6.5. Neither are cheap from the dealer.
