Default Need Advice on Azenis RT 615

I wana know if i can get the RT 615's to fit on my wheels w/out having to Stretch too much or run a shit load of camber. All I really know is that they come beefy.

Here are my sats as of now

Front:
Rim: 5Zigen FN01R-C
Size: 17x8
Off: 43et
Cam: -2.0
Tire: BFG G-Force Sport 215/45/17

Rear:
Rim: 5Zigen FN01R-C
Size: 17x9
Off: 43et
Cam: -3.0
Tire: BFG G-Force Sport 245/40/17

With the Azenis I would like to run
Front: 215/40/17
Rear: 235/40/17 or 245/40/17

Would this work for me?

615's dont come in a 245! A 235 looks too stretched in the rear, i bought them for my 9 inch wheels and then sold them cause i didnt like them! 255 is ur other option, with the 255 u need at least -3 camber in the rear to fit without rubbing.

ATDOnline has them in a 245/45/17. An you are saying that they would look too stretched w/a 235? The only reason I'm asking is b/c Tire Rack suggested for me to run a 205/50/17 an 225/45/17 tire when I first ordered my wheels. I'm runnin -3.0 as we speak in the rear. the only thing I didn't follow off the forum was to run a .5 difference in camber between the front an rear, i'm running 1.0.

^get some other tires. There are a lot better tires on the market these days that perform far better than 615s and cost about the same.

Dunlop Star Specs or the new Kumho XSs. They may even come in 245 for the rear.

I understand but w/ 255's I might rub. Like i posted already running -3.0 in the rear an my wheels are 17x9 w/ a 43 et. I feel if i go anymore on the camber that i'll be eating the insides of my tires fairly quick.
I have been pricing other tires aswell:
Dunlop Direzza StarSpec Z1
Kumho Ecsta MX
Kumho Ecsta XS
Nitto iNVO ZR 320


an you were right these do come in a 215/45 an 245/40

you should rule out the kumho mx b/c for pretty much the same price you can get their newer better xs tire. star specs are what I'll be going with next I think.
