Skimmer is an unknown quantity at this point
Below is a pic of my car with the new street tire/wheel setup. Again, these are Enkei RS5 wheels, 16x7, 40mm offset. The tires are Yokohama HS4 205/45/16.

No rubbing issues so far, but then I haven't driven it yet with my wife, two dogs and a load of groceries in the car (like usual). I also haven't done any major handling tests yet, but in fast city-driving corners, the grip seems way better than the stock setup, and the ride quality is just as good. Anyway, I love the look. Because the Fit has no chrome, I think it's a car that looks great with dark wheels.

So the stock Sport wheels are dismounted now. If I like the overall handling of the new street tires, I will sell the stock Bridgestones and get racing tires mounted on the Sport wheels for auto-x when the budget allows.
