I am having a bit of an ethical crisis here; basically the nuts & bolts of the issue is that Jim from Tirerack is recommending tires and rim combinations that don't work... I have tried a couple of times to bring it up that the combinations don't work and next thing I know he is recommending yet another size on another thread that somebody will end up ordering and have a giant problem with.

In once case he started telling people they have to negative camber in order to make the sizes they purchased (on his recommendation) work. This is bullsh!t, do you have any idea how frusterating it must be for somebody to get told that after they bought a set of wheels on reccomendation so they fit correctly?

I have been trying to work with the guy and mention they shoud update their site so they recommend correct sizes and offsets, ones that work with stock Fits. I just had an argument with him about using 195/40R17 tires which he was telling everybody didn't meet the load capacity limit... it was 1019lbs!! That is the exactly same as the stock Fit tires are rated at!!!

Ok, anyway enough story & drama;

Here is my dilemma;

Tirerack is a Sponcor, so I am not trying to discredit them or cause any issues; on the other side I have a conscience and I really don't want to see people getting screwed around like this.

Please advise

Also if you think this is causing too many waves and don't care about being FitFreak being ethical & moral, just delete the thead and send me a PM to drop it. Can do, will do.

Thanks for the dissapproval I did read through your whole thread and find your thoughts very amusing and exagerated.What happened to be strong no negative repping. I guess your the true BSer.
