Default 225/50/15's on an EP...?? Yes, it can be done.

For those that wanted to see some "balloons" on the SI BUS....
No rubbing from lock-to-lock and the only clearance "issue" was the plastic fuel hose cover. (less than 15mm of clearance) but does not rub.

nice! What do you think of the AVS ES 100s? I'm getting those tires albeit in a 205/50/16.

Are those CE28Ns?

The AVS100's have a pretty rounded shoulder, may help with clearance.... although GK fit 215/45/16 azenis on his EP3 with no problem. Time for flared fenders and 245's up front

The Grassroots motorsports Si was running 225/50/15's on their STS car with 7" rims.

Personally, I'm running the 215/45/16 Azenis on 7.5" wide wheels. Plenty of room, even as low as my car is. I really want to put that 225/45/16 S03 on my car next year. They are .5" wider than the Azenis. Probably need to roll for them.

Nice Heliums, mine are silver on silver.

So would you say the contact patch on those are bigger or smaller than 205/50/15 azenis?
