sorry, i tried searching, but im just too excited too read 10000 posts about wheels...so i was hoping one of u generous people can answer my quicky question! im gettin some rims, the width of the rim is gonna be 7inches. i was just wondering if i get 215 for my tires width, will it sorta poke out...u know what i mean? look kinda ..hehe..if any of u guys are running that and can tell me how it is then that would be great! thanks !

 

Id go with a 205 personally.

 

think 215 is wont be flush? think it will be better performance wise?

 

i dont know about 215. 205 on the other hand

 

Lets get some pictures up here.

 

205 will be flush up with a 7inch wide wheel, the 215 will be a tad bit over. i've had both on my car and you can't really tell a difference, i only noticed when i stood behind the car and saw the overall width of the track.

 

i like it, the wider the tire anyway, go for 205, the tires are generally WAAAYYY cheaper....

 

ya dude for sure...on tire rack...its like a 20 dollar difference between 205 and 215

 

that little bit of tire lip thats sticks out can make one big difference if you ever come in contact with a pot hole or brush up against a curb. the amount that would actually stick out from the wheel isn't anything major not to mention the added width is always a plus.

 

really depends on which tire you are talking about.


there was a bunch of fotos and stuff comparing the old azenis to other tires. azenis 205 is like mot other peoples 215

 

My 215/45/16 on 16x7 slip's sit ALMOST flush. Crap photo, here you go:

It has part to do with the tire, but what really matters is the offset of your wheel. Seven inches wide doesnt tell us jack ****. You could be running a zero offset for all we know. Give some more feed back and ppl could probley help you out better.

 

my friend ran some 215 azenis on some 16x7 rims. it works and looks fine, only thing that when you turn your wheel all the way, it will rub the inside of your wheel well. well that was the case with my 96 civic.

i guess then next size down is a 205 azenis sport. azenis is alot thicker than other tires though, so you can probably run other tires in 215 on your 7" wide with no problem

pic of 215 azenis on 16x7 rays eng rims. pretty damn flush.

 

What kind of tire affects whether it sits flush or not as well

My yoko ES100 205's are noticeably wider than my falken fk451 205's.....
on a 7'' wheel
