Have you tried --resizefs with fedora-arm-image-installer?

$ fedora-arm-image-installer --help

Usage: fedora-arm-image-installer <options>

--addconsole    - Add system console to extlinux.conf
    --addkey=       - /path/to/ssh-public-key
    --image=IMAGE    - xz compressed image file name
    --media=DEVICE    - media device file (/dev/[sdX|mmcblkX])
    --norootpass    - Remove the root password
    --resizefs    - Resize root filesystem to fill media device

I am lazy and also want more control over the size of the various 
partitions (like a larger swap).  So I use gparted on my Fedora 
notebook.  A little math, work out what size I want for each partition 
and gparted does the work.  Just be careful to switch from your system 
drive to the SD card!
