Wheel Size Question

Can anyone tell me if it would be feasible to use 2011 Insight 15" wheels, w/ 45 mm offset on my 2012 Fit Sport? I'm planning on using a 195 or 205/55 R15 size tire to minimize speedometer issues. I know I'll have to have TPMS sensors. Thanks in advance for any/all assistance!

Far as I remember the Insight wheels are 4 bolt, 100 mm bolt circle and work fine at 45 mm offset but confirm, especiaslly for clearance around calipers. If its close you can add 1./4" spacers to clear the caliper. RThey are lightweight and the tires are fine.
BTW, cover the dash wearning with black tape; TPMS is merekly government nanny goat. Check your tire pressures regularly and spending $100 for sensors is unnecessary.

Running Black Tape on a '12 will have an impact on the VSA also so it's not just a dash light. (should be in the manual)

The guy autocrossing his '12 on aftermarket wheels doesn't seem to have a problem. And if taping the dash warning turns VSA off you can bet there'll be a ton of tape applied.
Perhaps thats why its not in the manual.
