This is a comparison of 215/45/16 Azenis on 16x7" wheels (Right) vs 225/45/17 on 17x7.5" (Left). The Azenis are just slightly shorter, fraction of an inch.

 

I ran into these pics while searching for rims/tires. These are courtesy of CivicSIRacer. From the pics, the actual width of the 205 series is almost the same as the 215. Weird.

I have a set of 205-50-15 on 15x7's and yes they are oversized. I'd say closer to 215 or 220 width.

 

Interesting...
Do you have any pics from the side? I'm interested on how big the side wall is on that size Azenis.

jond: This is the best shot I have for viewing the sidewall

 

thanks

 

6ghatch, nice rims! what kind of rims are those? are they flat black or bronze?

 

I have the 215/45/16 and they are awesome. I had a little rubbing in the front but I raised it up a little and it was fine this past weekend at little Talladega, no scrubbing.

They are awesome in the rain too. Never slid out on the skidpad (rained on Sat).

 

Assuming the measurements are correct, the width of the 205 would be 8.375 inches, which would make the 205/50 azenii a 212 mm tire

 

5Zigen FN-01R, black

 

are these discontinued?

 

Not that I know of. There were rumors though.

 

I got mine a little over a week ago, took four days to get them.

StageOne, what kind of rims are those?

Buddy Club P1 Racing QFs

Very light 11.3 lbsm and they look much better in person. I posted a few more pics in a thread a little while ago.

You must be a lucky bitch - 'cause I spoke with them 5 minutes ago & they have 93 on back order - not expecting any shipments for a month!

You lucky fool...

sidewall shot

 

Do they last longer than the RE 010?
Thanks

 

how long have you been in this forum for???

this has been covered a million times!!!!

 

someone posted a while back that in the Falken literature, the 205s are oversized and are an actual 215mm... Per Falken that is...

 

219

 

I have a question, would 195/55 15's be stiffer than the 205/50's? Likw ould the 205's have more play, a floating feeling?

 

Thanks, I'm getting old... got a mile stone B-day coming up...

 

Obviously not long enough to have paid attention when the topic was being thrown around. But, now since I am in the market for new tires and the guy selling me the tire told me it was a 'road racing' tire similar to the Nitto 555R and that it only lasted about 5000 miles on the road for daily use, I wanted to inform myself.

All the topics I found using the search feature was how sticky they are and how they perform in wet weather. So unless you have a constructive answer to give me, shut your pipe hole and keep your non informitive answers to yourself.
