215/55 is ?&$&?&$% too big dude it will rub everywhere
205/50 is a bit high for me but a lot of people here runs with this size
215/45 is what I have (Direzzas) and with 40 PSI its reallllllly great..not too hard on the road and with stock suspension im litteraly going at the limits of the car so im thinking coil-overs for next summer
And for the rim measurements 215 is 7-8 and everything it depends on the brand of the tire and its a SAFE measure you can go with 8.5 and evene 9 inches with a 215 and 6 inches is the skinniest you can go with
It says 1 cup of sugar in your cake recipe...but you can put 2 cups...and 2 of brown sugar of you want
P.S. size for size...215/45 on stockers is the way to go...its 1/2 inch from the struts and plenty of space on the outside...absolutly no rubbing anywhere even when Im taking an highway exit at speeds that will make the car wanna do a roll-over

Do you have your fenders rolled?

40 PSI? (boom06)
Is that going to make your tires worn out very fast?
And you are right, 205/50 is too Fu_king high.

Meh, you can find 205/45s that'll do the job at least as well.

215/45/16 as slamed as it gets and no rubbing.. i did roll the fenders just to be safe after i had the tires on for a few weeks as i have 10mm wheel spacers that i run sometimes.. thus the extra room need...

Do you have pics of your car with the spacers on?
Do the spacers affect handling or cornering?
yeah, I didn't want to have rubbing issues when I lowered her. my wife has had some close calls, but she has become a pro at dodging potholes and we both drive slow-er than with the winter tires. and we have a short commute.
my next set of tires will probably be 50s.

im NOT lowered and my fenders are NOT rolled and there are NO rubbing at all
the only thing it does is: sticking as hell
running them at 40 PSI is vital but as low as 34 is ok if you want a smoother ride but at 40 is almost like a stock ride its not too harsh on your butt
i think im the 1st to have direzzas 215/45 on my stockers and WRCprotege have azenis in the same size
its up too you if you wanna be in our group of extremists

hmmm i see if i have any with digital pics with the spacers on.. i got alot film pics...and yes the handling is differant.. not to much, but theres more stabilitly with them.. i like using them only on the rear with the rear sway bar kicked up a notch,, fast turn in and great rear rotation without breaking loose.. very planted feeling..looks gay with them only in the rear...high speed/express way ramps is great 70 down about 72-73up.. up feels great, theres more grip but i run out of power-- bottom of 3rd

I too get to let loose on highway ramps at 85+ mph and ive done one hell of a ride at 87 mph on an "S" highway ramp and i had too let a distance between me and thoses bikes up front...and when they saw me right behind them after the curves they freaked out! they were looking at me like "was this the car wayyyy behind us at the beginning of the ramp???"
215/45 is good(2thumbs)

yeah and camaros
I'm also running Falken Ziex all season . they are great, even with the short sidewall, they are very sturdy tires. Amazing wet traction, i haven't really run them in the snow yet, I've got snows on steelie for the rough stuff. . (2thumbs)
