What size tires can you put on a Honda Fit?
The Honda Fit supports 14- to 16-inch wheels, with common tire sizes around 165/65R14, 185/60R15, and 195/50R16 depending on year and trim. Always check the door placard or the owner's manual for your exact car before purchasing tires.
Stock sizes and wheel options by era
The following sizes are representative for many Fits and can vary by trim and year. Use the vehicle’s placard for your exact specification.
- 14-inch wheels: 165/65R14 or 175/65R14
- 15-inch wheels: 185/60R15
- 16-inch wheels: 195/50R16
When upgrading or replacing tires, always confirm the exact size for your model and trim with a reliable source, such as the door placard or a Honda dealer.
Upgrading: what to consider for fitment
If you’re thinking about moving to a different size, keep these points in mind to ensure proper fit and safety.
- Keep overall tire diameter within about ±3% of the stock size to avoid speedometer errors and potential rubbing.
- Wheel width and offset matter; Fits typically accommodate wheel widths around 5.5–7.0 inches, with appropriate offset to maintain clearance.
- Lower-profile or wider tires can change ride quality, braking feel, and fuel economy; confirm with a tire professional before purchasing.
Always verify fitment with the specific wheel-and-tire combination and consult a tire shop or Honda service if you’re unsure.
Where to find the exact size for your car
To determine the precise tire size for your Honda Fit, consult these trusted sources:
- Door jamb placard on the driver's side (the quickest reference for your model/year).
- Owner's manual or official Honda specification sheets for your year and trim.
- Reputable tire retailers or fitment guides that account for your year, trim, and wheel size.
Note: Changing tire size can affect speedometer accuracy and may impact warranty or insurance—verify all implications with the seller or your dealer.

In general, a Honda Fit accommodates 14-, 15-, or 16-inch wheels, with common tire sizes including 165/65R14, 185/60R15, and 195/50R16.
