I just got my azenis mounted today and i know that they should go on a wider rim (since people say the 205's are really like 215's), but anyone have them and running on a 5.5 width rim? they stick out on the sides a little bit (i'll try to get pics) and it seems i lost turn-in response..is this because my rims are way too thin for the tire? i didn't get a chance to push them because they are brand new but i just wanna hear other people's responses with a similar setup

 

While not the best it should work. The best setup is on a 7-7.5" wide rim.

 

When I used to autocross more seriously I ran 215/50/15 bFG r1's on a 5.5 rim and 205 Kuhmo Victoracers on 5.5 rims and they worked great.

 

Agreed. Give them some more time, and futz with the pressures. I assume they're different tires than the ones they are replacing, so they're gonna drive differently and need different pressures.

 

ive got the same tires on my 15x6.5" slipstreams.... handles so nice and sticks to the ground. i can take turns at 35mph with ease, of course it helps to have a 2200lb car =P

 

They also need about 500-1000 miles to be properly broken in.

 

they seem just fine on my 15x6.5 c8s

 

He didn't ask if they were on a 6.5".
