For the record I am not "fighting", I am discussing carefully things which need to be addressed.

The load capacity is true

How can it possibly be true when your own website states that for a Honda Fit using the exact replacement 14" Dunlop tires has a max loading capacity of 1019lbs? I linked you to the page, you can look it up yourself if you want; they are described as OEM equipment. Here you go.... right from your website. 1019... exactly the same max as the 195/40/R17 which you keep telling people is not meeting the minimum criteria.
If you don't want to recommend them (for whatever reason) you are well within your rights in this case. I just want to point out your given reason is invalid.
To answer your statement about not purchasing from Tirerack before; I have purchased 17" 195/40/R17's tire from Tirerack, not rims. I made that clear already.
This is all beside the point; This is not a thread to dispute such things.
My point here is your guys have NOT done your homework when it comes to the Fit. You continue to suggest wheel & tire combinations that just simply don't work. You cannot get a +38 rim with a 205/40/R17 tire onto the Fit without either cambering out at a degree that would ruin your tires or rolling the fenders. Lots of people buying are not signing up for that, you don't make it clear in your recommendations here on the site. If you don't believe me PLEASE try it out for yourself, I promise you it won't work.
If somebody buys and then you phone them after to tell them this is what is going to happen then fine, but instead of doing that why don't you guys recommends tire combinations that work? Then give the option of modifications to suit if they want to?
The bottom line here is if you are going to continue to recommend certain fitments I am going to be right there telling people otherwise because I will feel morally obligated to. I don't like seeing people go through unnecessary hassle and hard times, that is the entire point of this forum.
At the end of the day we are on the same team Jim, we both want members here to be happy with their purchases.
