Default CV axles pop with new wheels

Ok guys I just put on some 16" enkei RS-E wheels with tires size 205/40. With the old stock wheels/tires my CV axles would not pop, with the new tires they do. What is the deal? Do I need to get rid of my wheels?

the axles shouldn't pop at all regardless of the wheel size. Bigger tires may cause more stress on cvs but thats it. Chances are your cvs are already going, just replace them they are cheap and easy.

Thanks would you recommend a specific brand or just go OEM.
