That's just personal preference, then. 16's and 17's will both look nice. An inch won't make that much difference as far as looks are concerned. The style of rim will be a much bigger factor.

I'm running 15" konig feathers with 185/60/15 winter rubber for winter it shed approx 10 lbs per wheel over stock and i notice a big difference with pick up from a dead stop up to about 30mph.

16" has to be the best size... 17s are so noticeable to me and i just don't like them at all, 15s are just too small.. each is to their own

I plan to run some light weight 16's for summer---they do look the best.

I'm wondering (i know no body does that).

How about the K20 Power in the Fit, is it better using wider tired?? Let say running 16" the stock HFP is 205/45/16, but with the k20 power, should be using 215/50/16?? Will it possible still running slower??

I would think you should be better---unless your 17" are really low on mass.
