You'll want 15x7's with 45 mm offset to mount 195/50x15 sticky tires up front and stock tires on 15x7's with 45 mm offset out back. You can also go with 6mm spacers to effectively have 49 mm offset on your stock whhels for low cost. Just make sure you have 1/2" threads for the lugnuts to tighten on. And of course the stickiest legal tires.
Try to have the front tire diameter a tad less than the rears (no more than 1/4") out back for fastest times with disconnected front antisway bar. Yes, it will oversteer but A/Xers have shown for a long time that controllable oversteering is the fastest way to go. Getting the Fit to rotate in corners so it can exit corners in a straight line from the apex is what you want. The faster exit speeds are the route to winning. The best acceleration is in a straight line not in a curve.
You might want to practice in a vacant lot to acquire the skills to initiate and control the rotation. But you will be quicker.

Reason: spacers for less cost than wheels.
