Take a look at the 15" Fit OE tires. They have a higher load capacity from Honda. We go with the Honda recommended load capacity. They must have raised the load for a reason with the 15" and 16". I am not really sure what the problem is anyway. If you want to run the smaller size with lower capacity go ahead. We warn you and you buy the tire.

As far as the wheels go some members want to push the envelope. You don't get to decide what is right for everybody. Just like we don't. There are some fitments that need some work and some guys are willing to do that. Not everyone, but there are people who want the most aggressive look. I don't see that as a crisis. I have sold even more aggressive applications for the car. We did look at the 38mm offset and did take them off the application. They were hitting on a screw in the rear fender well.
