Question Kosei Kt TS

Any reason why the following will not fit on the Fit Sport?
14x6 28/38 4x100
15x7 38 4x100
from:
http://www.koseijp.co.jp/engfl/n_p5_k1.htm

I wonder why Tirerack hasn't listed these as an option? The 15" rims they list are 6.5" w. I see owners with 15x7 wheels on their cars.

I know that you all think that 16", 17", and 18" rims are the way to go but some of us want the lowest weight possible and want to have some nice ride quality

We list what wheels fit the car based on clearances and the sizes available. Everything we carry to fit the car is listed now on our site. That is not to say you can't roll the fender lips and make other things fit. The wheels on the site listed by vehicle will not require you to do anything but put them on the car.
If I can help let me know.

I am going with the 14x6 K1 TS in Light Grey. I spoke to Jim earlier today and the wheels are currently in stock. Only thing im thinking about now is if I should go with 55 series tires or 60. If I go with 55 series I will be going with the Toyo Proxies T1R's in 195/55/14, only $84 which isnt bad at all and its got a 280 treadwear, only 40 less then the stock 15" Dunlops.

It seems like the average overall diameter of a 195/55/15 tire is about 22.3-22.4" where as the 195/55/14 tires overall diameter averages about 22.4" so about a inch difference.

Thanks, longtime fan and two time customer of your company
I've rolled a fender lip or two and I'd rather not do that to a brand new car. I'll keep shopping and pondering but, as my wife will eagerly point out, we don't even have the car yet!

Sorry,
