What do we know?
We know that +42 16" wheel with a 205/50/R16 tire could potentially rub on a 2007/2008 Fit

yeah, so TR has a +43

We know that the new 2009 Fit is even more sensitive and this risk increases

your point is????

We know that 1mm is not enough of a safety factor to NOT say anything at all when asked directly

so should they sell only +45s??????

We know the person was specifically asking "will this rub" and "I don't want to modify".... yet he said nothing but this;

They have a guarantee...... dah



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?
"Cry cry cry cry, you should do it my way."

That's why I can't stand you and why I wanted to chime in and tell Tire Rack they only deserve props instead of public smearing (even if you say it's not and it's your own personal crisis)
