I wear my tires more on the outside consistently but I throw my car around on/offramps a lot.

-1.8 - -2 is fine, you should just max it out like I said before. I'd also check to make sure your bolts didn't come loose and move or something.
I run around 33-34 PSI cold all four

Sorry Wafulz, Try to make friends with a "Race Alignment" place, they May be $$$ but they do the BEST work!

Rebee, Now it sounds like your having fun! Try to get us pics or video if you can!!! And as always, HAVE FUN. If your AutoX place is using standard SCCA Solo classing, your fit will be in Street Touring FWD (STF.) Just show up early and try to get in as many course walks as possible! Good luck!

From what I gather 215's on a 6.5" rim with an off-set around 45mm with some neg. camber up front.

The 15x7 RPF 1's you have COULD fit up to a 225, but I would not. A 225 really needs a 7.5-8" wide rim to be happy.

Offset is the next issue, but if it is higher that 30 you should be OK.

The 205 ZII's you referenced should be an AWESOME fit onto that wheel package...

What are you looking for from a wider tire? Some brands run different as well, for example my 205/50R15 BFR Rival's are about the same size as my 225/45R15 Hankook RS3's

Those would be a hot temp. And it's really dependant on the tires you use and driving style. Some have a stiff sidewall, some not so stiff.

Done with the autocross:

The car handles miles better than before!

The fastest lap I had was 43.45 seconds.

The understeer is still there, but at a higher limit, could not oversteer the car no matter what I did lol

I still insist that this car needs better brakes.

There were any Vipers out there, including Ralph Gilles ( Chrysler SRT CEO) with his 2013 Viper GTS!!
I took a picture with him and told " build us something like FRS/BRZ" he said " with more power" lol
He ran low 38s

It was a fun day, many vipers ( although it was Alfa Romero club), but my little Fit was the fastest among all other Vipers lol except Ralph's one, you think I am joking, I know you do, but I am not!

I am a novice driver but this little sucker with some decent mods can do wonders on a tight track, it was very tight.

I will try to check the website to see if I was right about the other Vipers and my time, because my conclusion was based on what I could hear when they announced times lol
I hope I am not lying

Tight tracks bring out the Fits weakness, no power. Fast flowing tracks are a preference.

If the suby driver was experienced, thats actually not bad to be only 3 seconds behind, given the fits power.

drop some more weight and invest in a lighter wheel and tire combo, and you might be able to smoke that suby
