The rim size is tied to the trim level: base models use 15-inch rims, while higher trims use 16-inch rims.
In the U.S. market for the 2009 Fit, the LX (and related DX) typically came with 15-inch wheels and 175/65R15 tires, while the EX (and any Sport package) commonly used 16-inch wheels with 195/50R16 tires. Market variations and aftermarket swaps can change these sizes, so always verify on your specific vehicle.
Rim sizes by trim
Below are the typical factory wheel sizes you would expect for the 2009 Honda Fit in common markets:
- LX/DX: 15 x 5.5 inches with 175/65R15 tires
- EX (including Sport package): 16 x 6.0 inches with 195/50R16 tires
These sizes reflect widely used configurations for the model year in the United States and similar markets. If your car has different wheels, it may have aftermarket rims or an alternative trim configuration.
How to verify your specific wheel size
To confirm the exact rim size on your vehicle, use the following checks:
- Check the driver’s door jamb sticker for the “Wheel size” or “Rim size” specification, which will show the correct diameter (for example 15x5.5JJ or 16x6.0JJ).
- Look at the tire sidewall; the tire size is printed on the side (for example P175/65R15 or P195/50R16). The last number (15 or 16) indicates the wheel diameter in inches.
- Consult the owner’s manual or a dealership’s VIN-specific data if you’re unsure about factory specs for your exact vehicle.
If you’re considering tires or wheels, you should also confirm the recommended offset and bolt pattern (the Fit uses a 4x100 bolt pattern in most markets) to ensure proper fitment and safety.
Summary
For a 2009 Honda Fit, expect 15-inch rims on the LX/DX trims and 16-inch rims on the EX (including Sport). The corresponding tires are typically 175/65R15 for the 15-inch wheels and 195/50R16 for the 16-inch wheels. Always verify with your vehicle’s door sticker or manual, as specifications can vary by market and aftermarket changes.
