Default 205/50/15 Azenis and 15x7 K-1s...

will I have any problems mounting them? I was pretty sure it would fit since the Azenis are so damn wide, but I don't know for sure.

205's fit on stock 6.5"ers. No problem

Should have gone 215 (if available?)

sure they fit on the stock 6.5ers, but on a 7" wide wheel?

They should fit well.

Ross, could you be talking about two issues of fitment here: first, if the tire will be on the rim; second, if the tire will/will not rub the fender and/or LCA once on the car? Given that Azenis run wider than most 205s, your question is a good one. I don't see any reason why they would not fit on the 15x7 Kosei's, but whether or not it'll rub is something I'm very interested in finding out, too. This same wheel/tire combo is what I'm hoping to do for my Geezer some time this year. Anyone got experience with this second fitment issue?

Depending on what offset you get, there should be no rubbing issue. I can fit a 225 Hoosier on a 38mm offset wheel under my car with only the tiniest bit of rubbing on the rear trailing arm. A 2 or 3 mm spacer would cure it if I cared enough to get one. I did have to roll the rear fenders though.
Hoosiers running wide like they do, I am sure we are talking apples to apples here.
HTH.

Thanks, Chris. That does help. To clarify, tho, your Enkei wheels are 15x7, no?

The 205/50x15" Azenis I just had mounted on 15x7" Kosei K1 on Wednesday - they fit perfect and are a bit wider than other 205s.

The only problem you want to look out for is the offset. 38mm and 45mm are available for that size - and on my car I went with a 45mm cause 38s would rub. But the 45mm rub a little on the wheel and the rear upper control arm. I bought spacers (2mm) which should fix that.

205's fit on stock 6.5"ers.
Sorry, but I was under the impression that the stock ITR wheels were/are 15 X 6 (not 6.5)?

I'm am dropped 1" with Eibach Prokit. They rub on the inside rear wheel when making hard transitions. I assume if I was lower I wouldn't have this problem.

So, the 205/50 15 Azenis probably would be too wide for 95 GSR wheels (which are 6" wide, I believe). Has anyone fit 205 Azenis on a GSR wheel?

I hate it when you have to answer your own question.

I have 205/15/50 on a 15x5.5 Accrod rim, took the place 2hrs and lots of cussing to get them mounted according to my little brother, he works there. So they should fit fine on a GSR rim, which is 15x6.5.

Where can I get Azenis online?
No one in my area has them- even Ecsta supra 712's are hard to come by.

Thanks
