The Short Version
- 4×100 with a 56 mm hub bore across the Fit, the Fit Aria sedan and the Airwave wagon.
- One hub, three body styles, twelve years. No gaps in the data anywhere.
- The RS grades run +53. Ordinary grades run +45.
- Nothing is staggered.
Unusually Clean Data
We opened four grade pages across three nameplates on the same platform: the GD1 Fit S, the GE8 Fit RS, the GD8 Fit Aria and the GJ1 Airwave. All four return 4×100 with a 56 mm bore.
Notably, there is no “under investigation” marker anywhere in the Fit family data. That is rarer than it should be — the Corolla of the same era has the field blank on its early cars, and half the vehicles we cover have it missing somewhere.
So a Fit is one of the few cars where you can order hub rings from a spec sheet with confidence.
Factory Specification
| Model | Chassis | Period | Grade | Wheel | Tyre | PCD / Holes / Bore |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fit, 1st gen | DBA-GD1 | 2005–2007 | S | 15×6J +53 | 185/55R15 | 100 / 4 / 56 |
| Fit, 1st gen | GD1–GD4 | 2001–2007 | W, A, Y and 4WD | 14×5.5J +45 | — | 100 / 4 / 56 (inferred) |
| Fit, 2nd gen | DBA-GE8 | 2007–2013 | RS | 16×6J +53 | 185/55R16 | 100 / 4 / 56 |
| Fit, 2nd gen | GE6 / GE7 / GE9 | 2007–2013 | G, L, X and 4WD | 14–15×5.5J +45 | — | 100 / 4 / 56 (inferred) |
| Fit Aria / City | DBA-GD8 | 2002–2008 | A | 14×5.5J +45 | 175/65R14 | 100 / 4 / 56 |
| Airwave | DBA-GJ1 | 2005–2010 | M | 14×5.5J +45 | 185/65R14 | 100 / 4 / 56 |
The RS Is Eight Millimetres Different
This is the one thing to get right. The S and RS grades run +53. Every ordinary grade — W, A, Y, G, L, X — runs +45.
Eight millimetres, same bolt pattern, same bore. So RS wheels on an ordinary Fit will tuck eight millimetres further in than the car came with, and ordinary wheels on an RS will sit eight millimetres proud.
Neither is dangerous and both bolt on. But if you are wondering why a set of takeoffs does not look right, that is usually why.
Note also that the RS grade changes diameter between generations — 15 inch on the GD, 16 inch on the GE — while keeping the same +53.
Three Body Styles, One Wheel
The Fit Aria is the booted sedan, sold in some markets as the Honda City. The Airwave is the long-roof wagon on the same platform. Both take the same hub and, in base trim, the same 14×5.5J at +45 as an ordinary Fit.
So the three cars share a wheel pool completely. If you are shopping for an Airwave, Fit wheels are the right search term and there are vastly more of them.
Sizing
These are light cars on narrow rims and the sensible window is 15×6J to 16×6.5J in the +40 to +50 range. Going much below +38 on a 6.5J starts to reach the arch on a car with very little flare.
56 mm hub rings are required with most aftermarket 4×100 wheels — note that this is not the 54 mm you need for a Toyota of the same size, and a 54 mm ring will not seat on a 56 mm hub.
Importing
The Fit launched in 2001, so only cars built through August 2001 are eligible for US import today — a window of a few weeks. The rest follows month by month to 2032, and the GE generation is 2032 and later.
North America got the second-generation car as the Honda Fit from 2006. The Fit Aria and the Airwave were never sold there, and the Airwave in particular has a following in New Zealand and the Caribbean.
What We Could Not Verify
- PCD and bore pages for the base W, A, Y, G and L grades individually, and for the 4WD GD2, GD4, GE7 and GE9. Every grade we did open returned identical figures regardless of body style or year.
- The 4WD Fit Aria GD9 and the 4WD Airwave GJ2 specifically.
- The GK-series third generation, which is outside this guide.
