tire width question....
I recently bought a set of rota grids from a friend of mine about 2-3 months ago and 2 tires are good, and 2 tires have very bad camber wear. they are 16x7 and I wanted to know if it was safe to run the Falken Azenis sports in 215/45-16. I know most people run 205's, but the only other azenis that fits 16's are 205/50-16, but i want to stay with 45 series to match my back two tires....so will i have any probs with the 215 over the 205's?

I think there are quite a few who run 215/45 Azenis in the ITR forum.
But I personally would get a matched set of 4. Staggered tire widths AND diameters might create some pretty squirelly handling characteristics.

yeah that does help alot. because your tires arent lined up exactly with the top/edge of the fender so it doesnt rub because the tire is going at an angle inside the fender..

215/45-15 is alot different than 215/45-16, i.e. a whole inch in diameter difference.
