Default Falken Azenis Rt615s on AP2 wheels (pic request)

Hello I just bought my s2k few days ago and I am new here,

I have recently noticed that they dont offer the azenis in our stock wheel specification.

I assume I will have to go 225/50/17 in the front and 255/40/17 in the rear? Could someone clarify which tires will be closest to the stock specs?

Also does anyone have some pictures of these tires? will my wheel gap be affected? Will it affect my fenders? Let me know, thank you.

are you at stock height? you will have no problems at all with this set up. front size would be 225 45.

I had these on my stock AP2 rims and they are a perfect fit being dropped on Eibach springs. Alot of people on the board is running that setup also. 225 and 255. The same tires on my TE37 rims I am slightly rubbing in the rears.

whats your camber setting on the front and rear. are your front fenders are rear quarter panels rolled. reason i ask is because i am getting major rubbing on the front fender liners with any aggressive cornering. thanks


to the op:
for the front, 225/45/17 is fine. if your concerned with any type of rubbing or want to remain close to stock stagger ratio, you can try 215/45/17. 255/45/17 is perfect for the rear.

i have 225/255 on stock wheels and stock height. GREAT tires!!! but they make the rims look smaller if u care about that. no problem with fitment unless car is dropped.

run slighty more camber, there is no lining to roll on the front fenders.

I didn't roll any of my fenders yet but I will soon if I am still rubbing after my alignment. I only rub in the rears from what I can tell. My alignment specs are below....

Front Rear
Camber -.7 Camber -2.0
Caster +6.5 Toe 1/4
Toe 1/16

I've got 215/45 and 255/40 615's on mine...I'll try to remember to snap a pic tonight. It doesn't look much diff from stock imo. A bit less room in the wheel wells, but if I didn't tell someone they wouldn't notice it.
