Size of Tires... 215/45/16? 205/45/16?
Alright guys, Im sure this has been asked... try to do a search for this specifically. Wondering if any of the del sol owners out there can help me.
Planning on getting the 5Zigen FN0R1-C and want to put some nice wheels on them. I was thinking of either putting some 215/45/16 Falkin Azenis on them or some 205/45/16 Yokohama Paradas Spec 2 on them...
I've heard mixed things on the 205/45/16 with a 2" drop. Some say it rubs and some say it doesnt... I havent heard anything about the 215/45/16's....
Any thoughts? I had before 205/40/16 and they worked perfectly fine but was hoping to either get some more width on the tires or increasing it a bit so my car doesnt look like its got tiny tires haha
Thanks

215 azenis are probably more equivalent to 220 of a normal tire..
so yeah... rub city.
205-45-16 would be the optimal size for handling on a 16" wheel.
you might consider 215-40-16,
wider, and the sidewall isnt TOO skinny.
stil migth want to wory about rubign tho.
