I also posted this in the Accord forum, but that place doesn't move very fast.

I want to do this so I can buy some lighter/cheaper 16x7 wheels for my Civic, and mount them on Azenis.

 

Sounds like a good combo. That's what I would like to do. But maybe stay 17. I have had the Azenis and LOVED them. I actually got 20K out of them and they were rated at 15K. But I rotated every 4K and kept Nitrogen in them.

 

Ross...you will have no problems. The Si wheels/tires will fit fine, with no rubbing.

 

Consider the Dunlop z1 star spec, they own the azenis' in every aspect and will not cost you a significant amount more. The azenis is getting a bit long in the tooth as a performance tire.

I will do that, thanks.

They are probably lighter as well.

I made another thread about this in the Accord forum, and GoLowDrew said that if I change from 215/50 to 215/45, my wife's car will accumulate odometer mileage more quickly. Given that the tires will probably last another 20 or 30k if mounted on her car, I'm not altogether sure I want to do that.

 

Drew is right, but going from a 50 sidewall to a 45 is going to be negligible at best. According to that, you're going to read an extra 2 MPH at 60.

Check that out.

 

How negligible?

If she travels 10,000 miles on the Civic's tires, how many more miles will show up on her odometer?

 

10,344 according to some quick math.

 

seen these on a 06 sedan recently they look really good.
