woudl a 205/50/15 tire such as the azenis fit on a civic si rim? my friend wants em but isnt sure if they will fit....any help is appreciated

 

they'll fit just fine.

 

thanks for the thread alex...and god damn it I BELIEVE ITS LEGAL...sounds so nice too they r just jealious

 

yeah, they fit... I run 205/50/15 Kumho Maha 700's.

 

They will fit. You may want to be around to here the people putting the Azenis on bitch about the sidewalls being so stiff! When I got mine put on my GSR's one guy jumped up and down on the tire while the other ran the machine!

 

yea, they are super hard to mount. the beads pop super loud too when they seat.

Thats what we had to do for these tires to get on the rim... i had to stand on the tire and walk it on while the other guy used a prybar and a hammer to push the tires on... they were a BITCH to get on... almost ripped 1 tire.

 

the question was posted for my friend who was itnerested.....i have azenis mounted on konig heliums that i got from discount tire...so i didnt have to watch them do watever they had to do...

 

They fit, but they don't work nearly as well as they would on a 7 in or wider wheel. I've got them on my stock ITR wheels and don't really like them. I would recommend other tires in that size for 6 in wide wheels.

 

I have them (205/50R15) on both 7in OZ wheels and 6in 2k2 Civic Si wheels.
They work better on a wider wheel; however, considering the alternatives I do not feel I have made a mistake about putting them on an 6in wheel.
THE ONLY THING IS THAT YOU (or your friend) WOULD HAVE TO RUN HIGHER PRESSURES FRON AND REAR (ESPECIALLY FRONT).

These are my cold autocross pressures:
37f/32r on 15in OZ Supperleggera's (7 in wide)
and
48f/30r on SI stockers (6 in wide.)

People have recommended to drop down the pressures on the stockers but this combo produces the best feel and results.
