I'm purchasing a new set of 16 inch Rota Grids for my 2000 Integra GS. I also need tires and I want the Azenis rt-615s. Stock tires for the car are 195/55/15. The tire size that is closest in diameter and the best match that I have found would be a 205/45/16. Here-in lies the problem: To my knowledge based on research, Falken doesn't make the Azenis in this size. I don't want to go with a 40 or 50 sidewall because it will alter the diameter. I'm thinking about going up to a 215/45/16 but I will also be running Tanabe GF-210 springs that will lower the car 1.5 inches and I'm worried about rubbing. So my question to those of you who are more informed and experienced than I: Should I give up on getting the Azenis and resort to 205/45/16 Kumho or will the 215/45/16 Azenis be ok with my car?

 

Get the Azenis in 215/45-16. Lots of ITR users are using those with no problems, including those with the ITR at stock ride height (which is lowered 0.6 inch from other Integras) as well as some with lowered cars.
