differing offsets in front and back
differing offsets in front and back
Looking at a set of rims on japanese auction. Offsets are slightly different. Is there any other consideration besides not being able to rotate the tires? Is that a huge deal anyways? If front wears faster than the back just replace 2 tires right?

What i would be more worried about is possible negatives by widening the track, how front end responds to it. Not that any of these problems can't be self engineered out but the rough dimensions (tire size, tread width used etc) and position point all the weight presses down (or more specifically the sweep it takes during compression) is basically preprogrammed into the stock suspension geometry, so yeah tires by themselves isn't inherently bad but if you push track too far out you may end up under-utilizing the tire severely. Imagine as a example how the tires feel after suspension has weighted up is acupuncture needles directly near their inner sidewall, all grip gone to a place your tires even aren't, not worth the bother. I have NOT looked into Fit stock geometry someone else would be better qualified, maybe pushing track out is all win but its worth taking that into consideration more then asymmetrical front rear tire type, width, compound style setup. Once you start changing track, be it front or rear, its worth at least proceeding with caution, at best becoming expert on the effects it causes.
