They don't come in this size.
I have 205/50/15's on 6.5" wide wheels and my car is only lowered about 1.25". They do rub on full lock a little bit and sometimes in transistions, but not to bad for the most part. I've tried 225/45 and they rub pretty well.

I have had similar experiences. I have 205/50/15s on 6" (I think – they're old TSW EVOs), and it rubs under hard driving (IE autocross). However, I only have Tokico HP shocks and H&R sports (2" drop) – if I had a stiffer setup, it probably wouldn't rub as bad.

same here, I had to raise my car to accomodate the Azenis, but for the most part, very little or no rub...as for 215/50/15, i'm thinking it "might" rub...good luck

seems like everyone is going with 205. why don't you guys go with 215? i think there's only $1 difference for kumho.

I wouldn't say Kumho's suck. I've liked the two sets that I've had. Are they as high-performance as the Azenis? No. Will they last longer? Yes, and they'll have better wet traction, too. If you're an avid autocrosser, that's one thing...

Re: will 215/50/15 rub or not? (bearboy80)
i rock 205/50/15 azenis on my rota slipstreams for my daily driver...yeah not the best for rain and other weather, last set of tires were kumho's absolutly sucked *** compared to the azenis. overheated really easily not half as much traction as the azenis. and if ur worried about wear...dont drive like a a-hole on a daily basis or drive around wit ur car slammed to the ground wit no camber kit

I would. They squeel like a little bitch in the dry, I have seen no advantage over my azenis in the rain (as why my last 3 sets of tires have been azenis), they suck just as bad if not worse in the snow and I only get about 3000 less miles then the Kumho's.
Whatever works. If I needed a more streetable tire Bridgestone would be where my money goes.
