I'm sitting at the tire place now on my wireless laptop getting my azenis installed. The tire guy says my rims are to small to run 205/50/15's, he also said that I should NEVER autocross with these tire because my rims are not wide enough. Is this true??

P.s. he's reading this over my shoulder so lets get some good tech answers

I think he's full of it. Well lets see what other people have to say.

 

BS. If your getting them installed on OE width rims, there won't be any problem.
(been running 205/50/15's on my factory rims for ever...including auto-x) Never a issue.

 

...not the best rim width for that tire size... but for the most part he is full of ****... it will be fine as mine are... not to metion that it is probably the most commonly run size on the OE ITR wheel in the Azenis...

 

OK they installed one on a rim and he showed me and said look how much the tire is tucked in the rim and said thats no good. come on guys help me out

 

Directly from the Falken website, They say that the approved wheel width for that tire is 5.5" to 7.5".

 

tell him that 225's fit fine.... hot setup for many autox'ers is 225 up front, and 205's in the rear, 5 mm spacer up front.

and tell him to pass the good stuff that he's smoking...

D

 

Where's your digicam, lets see some pics. Seriously I wouldn't worry about it, there are many people running these on stock wheels and I havn't heard of any problems.

 

hooptie157... mount the damn tires!!! On your wheels that is... You won't be disappointed for the price...

 

OK thats on the falken website I'll be right back

 

I'll have to agree with the rest.
He's full of crap.
Seriously, though...is there really that much difference between the stock tires and the 205/50 Azeni's?
I'll answer that....NO
I'm running & autocrossing the Azeni's (205/50/15) and have no problems with many, many miles.

 

On the road yet?

By the way... need to introduce the chic in your sig to my wife... they're about the same size I think...

...yes, it's like that...

 

Alright thanks alot for those fast *** response, I showed he him the falken site along with some reviews from people on this board. Three tires are done now and I'm waiting on the fourth. You guys saved me $20 because of whatI went though to prove him wrong, Honda-Tech ownzzzz

 

damn zeus does she have sisters

 

... an 18 year old... but not as "open minded"... sorry...

give us a report of what you think of the tires after you wear the "sheen" off them... you'll like.
