I'm gonna be picking up a set of 16x7 +42 5zigen FN01R-Cs soon, and I'm debating what size tires to buy. I know 205/45s will fit... and I know 215/45s will fit as well. If I have to get 205/45s I'm gonna settle for some Toyos, but I'd really like to get the Falken Azenis RT-615s because I can get them dirt cheap from a friend's tire chain. Problem is though, the closest sizes they come in is either 205/40 and 215/45. I don't want a tiny sidewall so the 205/40 is out of the question.

Here's a pic of my car as it sits:



With 16x7s and +42 offset, do you think I'll have rubbing issues with a 215/45, or should I just stick with 205s?

Post pix of your 92-95s with 215/45/16s if you can so I can get an idea. 96+, don't bother please.

 

I searched too, to get an idea. Plenty of people asking what will work, but this is a my-car-specific question.... Anyone?

 

you'll defintaly have rubbing issues bro, if you go with 215/40's and your dropped at where you are right now....im sure you'll rub...i have the drag dr16's in 15's with a 40 offset, tire size in 205/50/15 and they rub on my EJ8...

 

Right now I have 195/60/14 Azenis' and I sometimes rub, but only when the wheel is locked hard left/right and I go over some sort of a dip. Should I just stick to 205/45/16s?
