I am thinking about slapping some 215s on 16 inch Rota Circuit Eights. Anyone have a problem with rubbing with a 42 offset? I know the fenders have to be rolled to some extent.

thanks

I'm running 215/40x16" Kumho 712s on 16x7.5" the only problem is your speedo will be off and at 80mph my rpms are at 4500rpms. But works for me

Thanks, so no problems rubbing then? Have you tried the Azenis in 215s? How far off is the speedo?

I don't know if this helps but I run 215/55/16 aziens. They rubbed in the back till I rolled the fenders (or hit with mallet as I like to call it)

i'm runnin 215/40/16s on enkei RS6's...yes, i know everyone and their f*ckin mother has these rims, but mine are at least powdercoated black. Only problems with rubbing i've had is the front whenever i'm takin a really sharp turn at low speed, or hitting a weird bump sometimes at and off angle. My next tires will be 205/45's though. less rubbing and more sidewall.

Nope no rubbing with my setup now. I had the 215/45x16" Azenis on last year and they rubbed llike mad with a 1" drop. They should be labelled 225/45x16" or even 235/45x16" they are WIDE tires.

I'm running on 205/50x15" Azenis now for my competition tires.

Did you roll the fenders for the 215 Azenis? I would like to run the Azenis, instead of the kumhos.

CivicSiRacer

Yup tried everything. I ended up putting in some spring spacers to keep the suspension from compressing too much and they worked but the ride sucked. So I sold the tires to my friend and went with 205/50x15" Azenis.

Did you type that right?? 215/55-16 is a HUGE tire (a full 2" larger in diameter than stock)! My mom's Avalon's 205/65-15 tires are the same diameter as those.

Yeah that's right. And with these huge *** tires and the new motor that has the rev limiter set at 8000rpm I don't need no third gear. I think I'm hitting 75mph in 2nd now.

And that is the right size. And they work awesome once I got it to quit hitting the back fender. I was within 2 seconds of FTD at the last autocross I ran at.
