205-55-R16 winter tires on '09 Fit Sport?

I originally posted this in the Wheels section, but nobody's replied yet so maybe I'll get more readers here. I'm looking at getting an '09 Fit Sport here in Canada, and the specs for the all-season tires they come with are P185/55 R16. I have a set of winter tires from my '05 Mazda3 that are P205/55 R16. Can these be saved and used on my new car?

My winter tires from my ford focus zx5 are also 205/55/R16. However the bolt pattern for my ford wheels is 4X108 and that wont work since the fit is 4 x 100. I'm trying to sell on craigslist since they are already mounted.

Only place I found with winter tires for the fit is tires-easy.com - the home of low tire prices for cars, 4x4's and vans the Bridgestone Blizak L-25 $108 a piece. But I want studs.

I have an '09 orange sport ordered that should come in by the end of the month. When I get it I plan on taking it to Les Schwab to see what other tire sizes will work. Will probably end up getting 15" rims too so that I can get a studded tire.

You will find some of the websites are sometimes not Fit friendly, they do not list all the tires for the Fit under the car name due to a lack of web attention by the webmaster. Look under the tire size and you will be fine. Places like Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels have many winter tires, studded and otherwise.
