hey all------listen i want to get some falken azenis --- ive got circuit 8's in 16x7---- im looking for the azenis in a nice 205/45/16--- but everywhere i look i cant find this size--- do they even make them in this size---- does andone have it, or know where i can get it--- i was thinking about going with the 215, but i keep hearing they might be too wide for my car---- andy help would be greatly apreciated!!!!

thanks joe

 

by the way-- that was my first post, allthough ive been following the site for a little while--- ive got a 92 cx---- so no power nothing, jdm b16a-- all five bolts on n stuff like that--- going turbo soon---- thanks everyone

 

According to their site, they only offer the tire in sizes 205/55 and 215/45 for 16" rims. The 215 will fit a 7" wide rim fine.

 

can i ask u--- would u recomend that i get those tires in the 215---- im just afraid--- i hear i might have problems with them clearing the fenders and stuff--- im on a 2 and 1/2 inch drop

 

What's your wheel offset? And if you're that interested in performance, raise the suspension back up at least .5".

 

the falken's are only offered in that size, although if i were you i'd go with them. they're the best street tire on the market in my opinion when considering their price vs performance.

 

the offset on the rims is 40--- i want to get them--- i just wanna make sure the 215"s wont rub and ****

 

2.5" drop? I think you will be rubbing no matter what... esp on a cx hatch

there skunk2 spring--- they said they were a 2- 2 1/2" drop---- the car is low---- but it doesnt really look extreamly low or aything--- i dont get it-- people put later rims on eg's and there fine---- why shouldnt i be able to fir som 215/45/16

 

My buddy is running 215/45/16 Toyo's on his EG with no rubbing issues. He's dropped on H&R race coils, with KYB shocks.

I used to run these same tires on my GSR, and will never go with any tire less than a 215 wide, and 45 series sidewall again. It's a great size to run for the street, and odd autoX comp.

 

so u guys are saying go for it the heh????

 

Azenis aren't rated very accurately, they tend to be a little wider than expected.

 

im so confused as to what i should do---chance the 215's or just rock parada spec 2's

 

Ditto, a 215 azenis is not the same as a 215**other tire***. My 205 azenis are considerably wider than my 205 kuhmo's.

 

what size are your rims-----and what tire size do u have

 

i got 17x7
215/40/YR17 potenzas.
cp10's

no wheel gap at all. rear tucks somewhat. front is jus perfect. but u cant fit anything in there.little rub. during parking lot driving. and extreme cornering. when the car rolls a tad. otherwise great.

 

i really want the 215's---- but u guys are saying the sizes arent accurate---- im just afraid ill get the tires, and them they will rub---- if i dont get them--- what do u think would be another good choice--- im lookin for nice sticky lanches with decent handling--- i was thinking bout the parada spec 2's---- anyone like them???

 

i got 215 45 16 azenis for sale brand new. 350 pick up or you pay shipping
