A friend with Enkei 15x7 +41's and 195/55R15 Dunlop Star Specs rubs front and rear. He's also running Tanabe springs. He did the tab mod up front but will still rub in the back if he's carrying passengers. Since I may change springs in the future
and go to 205's, I really wanted +45 offset.

That's an extremely interesting observation; I'd like to hear more on how you arrived at that conclusion. Was it because larger sizes extracted too much weight penalty? What other factors contributed to that being the ideal size?

And if you really want GRIP try Hoosier 205/50x15's on 15x7 Enkei wheels. I believe you can flip a Fit in a 90 degree turn with those things. A6's also 18 lb.

Not surprised to hear that. I saw an Saab 93 go up on two wheels at an autocross a few years ago and he was running race tires. My needs are not quite that specific.
