rims and tires

Whats the biggest rim and tire combo that will fit on the Fit without throwing off the speedo? I was looking at some Work Emotions but i cant decide on the size 16x7? 17x7?

I'm running 35psi all the way around... Auto-X I would run 40psi and back it off as the tires start to heat up...

Go for 16x7, with offset from +40 to +43, 195/50/16. the total diameter of tires won't be much different from the standard spec.

I like to run higher pressure than stock (within the tires limits of course) only real downside is a harder ride.

205/40R17 on 17" rims are the exact same size and won't throw the speedo off at all. Go here if you want to play with combinations of tire sizes and rims:http://gs.tolan-hoechst.com/tirecalc.htm Nice tire/rim calculator that lets you know exactly what the result of your tire/rim choice will be.

fshwcrs has a little shameless behaviour in the past
I would go (and am going) with a 205 width tire.

I swap out my stock tires for Dunlop DZ101s and they were cheap and good for the money

different and GT-3's do not belong together in the same sentence. They are waaaaaaay overplayed here in SoCal.
