I have an '07 Fit Sport lowered on Tein springs and running a 205/50/15.. I rubbed alot when I first lowered it but I rolled the fender and tucked the liner behind it, I have had no issues since.

Search for my thread in the suspension section and you will get some good info for your setup as mine is the exact same.

i eventually did the liner mod myself because i was still rubbing a bit with the revised wheel and tire size... 195/50R-15. i didn't want to but i had no choice, and now i haven't experienced any rubbing over bumps so i think i'm good.

i felt like a nut buying a whole new pair of sneakers but the ones i had weren't meant to go on the Fit anyway; are now on my old car. i like the look of the grids much better and the lighter bronze goes better with the color.

as for the tires the yokos seem alright so far, but they are still very fresh. the guy i had mount them said there were okay but 1 or 2 had to be dialed in a bit for road force. i was a little worried about shaking since the Fit has a shorter wheelbase but it's pretty smooth. drove it in the rain a few times without any issues.
