205/45/16

not on your list, but they are the best size.

 

They dont make 205-45-16, Drag

 

who doesn't?

Falken? then go w/ another brand.

 

Falken Azenis doesnt have 205-45-16

 

Falken Azenis only come in 16" sizes listed above

Khumo Ecsta 712s

 

bah - death to kum-ho's. You know my other suggestion greg, Pole Position S-03's

Falken all the way!! Launch at 4600rpm on the street with no wheel spin.

Go with nitto drag radials

 

i want the azenis for turning, not going strait, and the hard sidewall helps with that not like the soft ones on the 555Rs

 

Get 215-45-16. They might rub but raise your car. I dont think ANY tire out there compares to the Falken Azenis for the priceerformance ratio,

 

In 16's the choices are tough for real top notch street tires. Two new choices in 205/45R16 are Dunlop FM901 and Yoko Parada Spec-2. Also, the A520 is a great dry tire with a very stiff sidewall. Also in that same size is Sumitomo HTRZ II, Dunlop SP 9000, and Pirelli P Zero. Michelin Pilot Sport and Azenis are nice ones in 215/45R16 which is not even .5" more in ouside diameter then stock. In 205/50R16 there is the S-03 and RE730.

The Azenis in 215/45x16" will not work. I had them on the same wheels (16x7.5" Kosei K1 43mm offset) and they rubbed like crazy. The 215/45x16" should be 225/45x16" or even 235x45x16" tires.

 

They don't make s03's in 16" 45 series.

I'm confused-- I run 205/45/16 on a 16x7 wheel. So why wouldn't you get a wider tire for a wider wheel? And since the tire is wider, shouldn't the aspect ratio change accordingly? And if they rub with wider rubber, it sounds like the offset is wrong, not the tire.

Someone please clarify.
