Honda Fit users, I need your help

Can i check with you guys whether it is advisable to change the New Honda Fit's stock 14" rims to 16" - 17" rims?

My PI agent said that 14" is the best. If change to bigger rims, will have problems like difficulties in U-turning... what does he means? And when he said this, he was only refering to changing to 15" rim.

OMG if just changing to 15" rim already pose problem, then can i change to 16"- 17" rims? because 16" is the minimal size that i want to change.

Can you knowledgable drivers give me some enlightenment whether i can increase the rim size and what are the pros and cons?
I cant stand driving the Fit with a 14" rim, it sucks. just like those alien cars with big body but small wheels.

    You can change to 15" sport rims without sacrificing anything. In fact factory sport rims are 15", but dont go for very broad rims, thats where the mistake is. Choose a 6" rim with a "offset 38". This is technically perfect for your car. Tyre profile should be 60. Dont fit 16 or 17", then many problems crop with suspension, ride confort, consumption.

    15" rims would consume more on petrol

    Honda fit got big body meh? I'll say 14" rims on a Volvo X90 is wierd. But for small hatch like Fit still ok lah, not alien looking. I feel 16" is the max it can go, without compromising much on the fuel economy and driveability. Rem BIG RIMS means petrol thirsty. Suzy Swift with large rims looks nice though. The Fit, IMO, is just not fierce enuff.
