Your base Fit rims are 14x5.5" and slightly wider tires would be 185/60-14 or 195/55-14.
The stock size 175/65-14 only shows High Performance All Season tires (selection is quite limited).
195/55 and 205/50 sizes don't show any All Season tires. So that leaves 185/60-14 and there are quite a few good tires in that size.

Your choice within your budget. If you want the longest treadwear then the high performance All seasons look good. If you drive in wet weather alot the UHPAS RE960AS is quite good.
