Last night I put on my rota jspcl gunmetal with polished lips in a 15 inch rim with dunlop sp tires 195 55 15. The front rims will not clear our brake calipers without a spacer, had to go to pep boys and get 1/4" spacers so that it wouldn't rub on the inside of the rim. Other than that they look great and will take some pics when I get a chance.
Some rims and tire comparison to stock.
Weight of stock honda fit sport package tire and rim= 35lbs. Each
Weight of just the rota jspecial= 12lbs each
Weight of new dunlop and new rota wheel= 30 lbs each. So you do save a little weight over stock tires and wheels.
Had 5 people in the car this morning and on big bumps/dips it did rub on the front fenders, but it's nothing bad.
Will update with pics once I get my camera back.

yeah your going to have to use the spacer, i believe it's the offset of the wheel that wont let it clear the caliber, the tire has nothing to do with it.
