Will these Blizzaks fit?

Hey everyone! So, I have a Fit Sport 5AT. It's my first non-4WD vehicle in about 8-10 years, so I think I definitely want snow tires since I work on top of a mountain. I found these Blizzaks on tirerack(Size: 205/65QR15 ). I openly admit my lack of knowledge on the subject, so any help as to whether these will fit without rubbing would be appreciated. I know that's a bit bigger than the stock 195/55/15, but will it fit without rubbing?

Secondly, what is everyone's opinions of blizzaks versus, say, the Nokian WR which can be run year round, but also has the severe weather emblem?

I can give you half an answer. We have Blizzaks on my bride's VW (awd Passat) and they have been wonderful.
Get 'em the hell off when the weather warms.

1. NO. those tires are 2" bigger in diameter and 0.4" wider.

2. Check what the winter rallyists run. Or check TireRacks ratings and reviews.
