Those 16's? I think that the 215's are going to rub a little, only at full lock though. I have found that the 215's that come on the JDM ITR rims rub more than my 205's on my Volks...so obviously that small difference in width makes a significant difference in rubbing.

more than likely they will, because Azenis are way oversize, meaning the 215 wide tire is really closer to an actual 225 width... but I kinow people fit 225 under ITR fenders, so it may depend on offset and camber settings.

The only oversized falkens are the 205/55/15s, which are 8.3 inches wide (210 mm). The 215/45/16s are in fact, 8.5 inches wide (215.9mm).

Are you sure? TE37's don't come in +45mm offset for 16" sizes (unless these are custom made).

you'll rub..just a tad though. raise it about 1/4-1/2 an inch. i had Azenis on my 16' Rota C8's and it rubbed when i turned and hit small bumps in the street.
