Default Tire problem

I just my azenis 215/45 r 16 mounted on my wheels and they look a little big, the front of the car is on stands right now and the rear is on the ground. the rears are clearing but not by much. I was wondering what you guys were running and what could i do if they are a little big...sending them back is not a option

i've had them on my car but in 195/60 14 they do look bigger for som reason but i would think that 215's are a bit wide for a honda i know i've been told the widest i could go is 205 series you might have to roll your fenders out a bit

I have 205/50/15 on my CRX. I should've opted for 195/50/15. He's right about rolling the fenders. I just hammered mine from the inside. When you do this, make sure you have a block of wood or something of that nature when you hammer the fender. While hammering, the wood on opposite side prevents it from popping outwards. Sorry i don't know the terms. Anyway, i used one of those hammers with rounded side on end of it, while flat head is on opposite side.

I made the mistake of crimping the driver's side and now it's got small scuff marks.
