Default 215/45/16' on EK

As long as the drop isn't too low you will be fine.
Heres mine about a year ago..(with the same tire size).

I have 16's now over AEM big rotors, and with 38 offset its damn close. Not to the spokes on the wheel, but just the inside of the rim itself. When I get the azenis theyre more than likely goin on +40 or +42 wheels...if that matter. I also heard *some* 15's will fit over the AEM's but I can't see it happening. I dont mind 15's I just dont wanna take off my brakes

Why do all you people want 15's/16's?

Be a man and get some 18's.

I do scrape though, very rarely when going in a dip or something. Mine are 215/35/18 falkens...

but on topic here, if your car is roughly lowered 1.5 or lower it will rub with 215/45/16's that is the reason i went with a 205/45/16 inch yok. avs es 100's

Yeah, I have 205 zx512's now. Decent tire, but I want the fat tire look. What other tires are comparable to the azenis?
