No, that doesn't sound right.

Fine by me or Fine with me.

0'Fine for me' is not used in the same context. You wouldn't really use it on its own but could do in a sentence: 02br
00XL would be fine for me, L is a bit tight. 02br

According to Oxford dictionary, I only can find an example of "fine by me". So I think at least this is correct.
