Default falken azenis - 205 wider than the 215?

I was told that the 205 azenis were actually wider than the 215s. Anyone know for sure?

I emailed falken, and heres what I got back:

"Our references show the 215/45R16 is 8.39 inches wide, and the 205/55R16 is 8.43 inches. The difference is negligible.
Of course, one would expect a 215 to be wider than a 205, but this just shows how the sizes are nominal and rely on the aspect ratio also. Confusing, eh?"

so will the 215/45/16 fit on a 16x7 wheel on an R without rubbing?

Not too sure about the 215/45/16 size, but the 205/50 Azeni does even seem wider than my 205/50/15 AO32R. Just thought I would add

How about on some Buddy Club P1 QFs? will they rub with a lowered R?

for anyone interested, I got my azenis a few days ago, and just like everyone said, the 205 size is bigger than a regular 215 tire. Awesome.
