if i go with the 195/60/14 the sidewall will be .2 inches bigger. Should this matter much? The speedo will be 2.1% off so it'll only be 1mph or so at 60mph. My car is lowered about 2 inches if that will affect anything. Do you think i should go with the azenis even though they're going to have a bigger sidewall?

 

yes
its worth the extra grip

 

definetly worth it. you won't even notice the difference, unless you're incredibly **** about going right on the speed limit. most people who run 15" Azenis have to run 205s, which puts our speedo off as well, but well worth it. no second thoughts.

 

little ot, but would you guys recommend running these on 14x5s or is having a wider wheel a must for that tire size?

 

Recommended is 5.5 - 7.0. You will be fine running a 5" wheel... though I think 6" would be the best (I believe falken recommends 6" as well).

 

The Azenis are wider than most tires too. You should figure on about 1/4-1/2 extra overall tire width..perhaps more. I know the 205/50/15 Azenias have a 3/4" wider contact patch than most other 205/50/15 tires...the best size for a 15" Azeni tire is a 15x7 wheel. You really should be running at least a 6" wheel to be safe.

 

ive got the 205/50/15 azenis on my del sol..wit konig helium wheels.....15x6.5 these tires are awesome.......tho i havent really driven in teh rain with them so I dont kno how that will go....but i def recomend them.......DEL SOL POWER..... haha....my car is slow....

 

Do you have any reason to believe that your spedometer is accurate now? I have 195/60R14's (not Azenis, yet) on my del Sol Si (stock 185/60R14) and my speedometer still reads 2.5-3.0 mph faster than my true speed at 70 mph (as measured using GPS). In general, passenger car speedometers will read about 2 mph fast (my experience, and I think Car and Driver just had an article about it too).
