HFP Rims on 09 Fit Sport --They Rock!!

Got the 07/08 16" Rims for my 09 Fit Sport --they rock!! I also switched out the tires for Yokohama 205/50/R16s. This has totally changed the car for me and its awesome!! I ride smoother and am getting better gas mileage.

Hey now!!!! your local.

Which dealer did you get your rims? Roush, Hugh White or Honda East???

I love the look of those. Very good choice.
I'm on the east side (Blacklick area) I'll keep an eye out for you....

Cool your local. Yes it was Roush Honda. They price matched collegehillshonda.com.

I got the tires at discount tire on 23 and polaris.

I recommend replacing the stock tires with the Yokohamas.

The Honda spec states the offset is 55 if I am answering correctly.

Are those the ones specific for the 08? College Hills website shows the 07 vs 08 to be different colors in the picture. Looks sweet, and for 150 with the TPMS sensors, you can't go wrong.

I was going to buy 205/50/16's as well. Please let me know what Yokohama model you have and the tire pressure you run.
Thanks,
Jim

The wheel part number is # 08W16-SLN-100 and the application states for 07-08 Fit. But my dealership told me I could still use on a 2009 Fit.

As far as the part number for the Yokohamas --I purchased them at Discount Tire is YK520.
