Tire / wheel specifications /combos
I'm looking to possibly buy winter tires which is making me think about planning for summer ...upgrades
.
![](http://z.about.com/d/cars/1/7/F/P/1/ag_09fitsport_wheel.jpg)
A few questions, thanks in advance:
What is the stock 16" tire size, wheel weight and offset?
What 17" (preferably) or 16" stock Honda wheels (Accord etc.) are able to fit....the fit![Wink](https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
Thanks

The stock wheel is 16x6, 53 mm offset and the tire is 185/55x16.
For winter we have found the 175/65x15 tire size on 15x6 to 7/45 mm wheels to be best in our trips to the mountains of NC.
Unfortunately we haven't found a good winter tire for the 16" wheels other than the stock 185/55x16's So if you just change tires there are a couple of 16" choices. try TireRack and Discounttiredirect. If you get alternate wheels make sure they fit a Fit; i.e. caliper clearance,hub bore, 4x100 BC, etc
As for snow tires:
205/50x15 tires
30.1__6,912__280.1 corrected mileage
31.4 7.103 223.1
29.9 7.914 236.9
31.8 8.112 258.1
32.4 8.052 260.7
31.12 average
sigma = 1.084
175/65x15 tires
29.8 7.924 236.2
27.8 7.822 217.2
30.1 8.222 247.6
30.7 6.782 208.3
31.7 7.152 226.6
30.02 average
sigma = 1.43
Significance test at 95% confidence level:
31.12+1.96(1.084)/2.236 < 30.02 <31.12-1.96(1.084)/2.236
If 30.02 is not less than (31.12 - .96) nor greater than (31.12 + .96) there is not enough statistical evidence to say that the two samples are different.
30.02 is less than (31.12-.96,), or 30.16, so the two samples are statistically different.
It is reasonable to say that 175/65x15 tires got less gas mileage than 205/50x15 tires
And likely because of the greater weight at the larger diameter of the 175/65 tire. Experience and physics says that the wider and larger the tire the less mpg expected.

For oem Honda wheels, the only ones that will most likely fit are from
pre-06 Civics/Del Sols and Integras. They were the only 4x100 setups. Tires that will work, 15-205/50/15 195/55/15 16-195/50/16 205/45/16 185/55/16. With 15's, the 195/55/15 will probably be ur best bet for snow tires. In 16's, the 195/50/16. For summer, 17's would be 205/40/17 but for rims you'll need to go aftermarket.
