Default Tire question?

Ok on my crx i had 205/40/17 and i picked up a set if 15'' since then, i want to put on the azenis at 205/50/15? Is there a chance they will rub? I dont think the will cause i had 17'' and the didnt? Im looking to pick up tires in the next week..

Thanks
-Chris

i just dont want to have to roll my fenders?

the tenzo is 35mm offset

and it says that the 15'' maglite is 40mm offset you think it would rub?...

205/50R15 is a pretty fat tire

i run 195/45R15 and i wish it was slimmer.. (mine dont even come close to rubbing)

the 15's will have a smaller diameter than the 17's you used to run by 1.63%.

so they should fit

you might wana check into the offset tho

I have 205/50/15 lowered and have no rub issues. Really depends on that offset of the wheel

I dont think they will. Also depends on how low your car is.

Ok the 17'' is actually 42mm and the 15 is 40 so does this work with the 205's

It really depends on how low the car is and what the camber is set to.

Bingo.

Depends on wheel width & offset, ride height, roll stiffness, and camber settings. Tire model and dimensions are only a couple of the many variables involved.

I've run 205/50-15 RT-215 Azenis on 15x7" +40mm wheels with no rubbing whatsoever on unmodified fenders, but I have a lot of roll stiffness (500lbs-in F/600lbs-in R with 22mm F/15mm R bars), a conservative ride height, and my suspension moves with the stock camber curve.

I've also run 225/45-15 Hankook RS2-Z212s on the same wheels with the same suspension settings, with only minimal rubbing of the fender liners (no metal bodywork was touched) at full steering lock.

That really doesn't matter. I've never seen anyone with a clearance problem between the tire and knuckle or upper ball joint.

Like I said, you will not have any problems if you're using a 15x7" +40mm wheel with 205/50-15 Azenis, provided that you aren't running any adjustable control arms and have a reasonable ride height. Any rubbing will be minimal contact with the fender liners at full lock with some body roll.
