And there he goes again; he just recommended a 205/50/R16 tire to somebody with a +43 offset wheel like an hour ago.
What do we know?
We know that +42 16" wheel with a 205/50/R16 tire could potentially rub on a 2007/2008 Fit
We know that the new 2009 Fit is even more sensitive and this risk increases
We know that 1mm is not enough of a safety factor to NOT say anything at all when asked directly
We know the person was specifically asking "will this rub" and "I don't want to modify".... yet he said nothing but this;

Ok, might I suggest you say something like this instead?
"There is a good possibility that will cause some minor rubbing, you may need to modify to make it work, especially considering that the 2009 Honda Fit tends to be even more sensitive than the 2007/2008 models when it comes to offset"
Really... I am lost for words. I just don't see why we/you can't tell people that something might be a problem!? Am I really being so unreasonable here?
