Check out my set up I have Drag DR-34 17x7.5 they are overall improve handing and body roll is decreased although I did lose 1-2 mpg with the bigger wheels. I think 16x7 is best size and look and performance.... like happy medium!
Hi. I've the same car. Tyre size is 15*185*60 . However, I recently changed my tyres to 15*185*65 . This kind of made the car bit higher than how it was. My only concern is will that have impact on handling and performance? Do you have any ideas?
taller profile will have less sharpness in steering. But larger diameter won't make much of a difference cause the car is geared so low to begin with. You might find that you'll like it more on the freeway
Both those sizes are larger in diameter then your stock but also you have to consider width of your rim. Stock rim might not fit a 195 tire. My set up performance comes from lower weight, 4lbs. off for each wheel.
I mainly wanted wider tires, stock is only 185 I wanted 195 or 205. The closes size is a bit larger or smaller in diameter in the 195 or 205 so I picked the larger because the gearing is very short/low
Just checking in, you still have these tires and rims for this car ? Has it treated you well? If you definitely recommend it, could you possibly link me where you got these at?
These rims have been discontinued in this size. The tires were ok when new but didn't like them much as they got near wear bar. I do like the rims, nice and light. I got them from TireRack.
@@christophercooper1472 Tire size dependent on width of rim and diameter of original size. Diameter wise keep it within 1/2" of original and you'll be fine. This rim is 7" wide so I can use 195-215 tire width. Use TireRack's wheel/tire sizing configurator.
@@DaBinChe sorry still asking questions cause I'm super curious. If you could do things over, would you try 14s? Or keep at 15 for performance/efficiency
@@christophercooper1472 the problem with 14s is there aren't that many tire sizes or selection to choose from if you want performance tires. I would stick with 15's. I would go with 205/55-15 on 7" wide rims has 23.9" diameter. The stock size diameter tire is 23.7". You get more wheel selections with 15x7 too and some are sub 10lbs.
kssnyder2 Can't really compare cause when new I took it easy, now that it is broken in I gas it most the time.....Only really way to compare is if I put back the original
doesn't look right, big wheels with little brakes. But if you do make sure the diameter is within about half inch of original. Also profile of tire will bo so thin that ride is be bumpier and all the other downside of low profile tires.
@@DaBinChe my car is not lowered I'm using dat also to help with body roll, so it won't be thin,I've fitted them already, an it wasn't the thinest tyre lol an it perfect, check out the guys in Japan but I get what ur saying
Wheels looks dope. Man. Fit looks way better now than the stocks
+Will ajr thanks!
Love the wheels!
Can't wait to find a set for my milano red lx.
LOOKS GOOD TO ME.
I know u posted this a while ago, but how do you like this set up after driving it? I'm thinking about doing something similar to my Fit

The original wheels would be good to use for snow tires if you live in a cold climate. I have Michelin X-ice on my CRV
+Jimo368 I'm in the BayArea so no snow here
Hi, got the same size wheel/tyre setup on my jazz. But thinking about lowering springs (30mm) will it rub?
beats me....?
@@DaBinChe i mean will 195/60r15 tyres rub the fenders when lowered
@@abhinavviswanadh5591 most likely when it bottoms....mine did every once in a while without lowring
Very nice wheel/tire combo. Any issues with rubbing at the front?
+Ernesto Rausa No rubbing. Had 700lbs of people and luggage with no rubbing
Nice looking wheel. What color is your car? You did not like the CVT? Better MPG with the CVT.
***** Silver, yes the CVT is suppose to get better MPG but I don't like driving automatics puts me to sleep
DaBinChe I thought it was silver but in some parts it looked white. Good color. Wheels look much better than stock.
The thinner tire will give you better gas mileage... you should've put the lighter rim with the smaller tire width for best mpg.
thinner do give better MGP but that rim is too wide, 195 is the thinnest that is safe for a 7" rim

@@DaBinChe thanks 🙂 make sense now
Hows the acceleration compared to stock?
A little quicker
DaBinChe my stock tyre for honda jazz is 175/65/r15 vch one do u recommend for better performance :
1)195/60/r15
2)185/65/r15
Both those sizes are larger in diameter then your stock but also you have to consider width of your rim. Stock rim might not fit a 195 tire.

Because it short ratio gearbox so u put bigger wheels on it

@@DaBinChe so you kept the rims? What tire size alternative did you choose ? And has it worked best ? Or better?

Got ex 17 model with black rim if i upgrade to 17 inch how much you think my fit black rims is worth??
stock wheels aren't worth much...all used wheels aren't worth much. If they are in like new shape then maybe $400 for the set.
I am thinking about putting some 17×7 inch sports rims with 205/40 series tyres on my Honda fit what you think about that bro?
40 series is too low/thin you will have tire problems flats, bent rims and such
@@DaBinChe yeah but isn't that depend on the type road that you will be driving on,on a day to day basis?
im thinking of getting these. they are very light! anyone know some other 4 lug light rims in this price range?
the enkei RPF1 is liter but has no center hub cap
yeah and the rpf1 are a bit more than what i want to spend too :/ thanks!
Isnt it better to have 16 inch wheels
Wanted ligther wheels not heavier, also 15inch is lower cost and has lots more options in tires
how has your mileage been with these rims/tires?
kssnyder2 Can't really compare cause when new I took it easy, now that it is broken in I gas it most the time.....Only really way to compare is if I put back the original
+DaBinChe Hi I'm lx owner as well. how much costs for wheels and new tires combined? at tirerack you said??
+Yong Kim $1000 to my door
+DaBinChe Any updates on mpg with the new wheels and tires?
+Yong Kim can't compare driving style from new, taking it easy, to now going faster
I want 17"s on my fit
