    Hey everyone So Ive searched and have only come across classified ads, but no testimonials on this setup. Im in love with corrado steelies and azenis but havent really seen them matched up very often. Assuming this is due to the width of the wheel and the wideness of the Azenis, I would imagine it would be a little bulky and could be a rubbing issue, but would be a great handling setup for the cost. Advice and comments please, pics would be helpful as well. Im planning to use the setup for auto-x and daily, paired with a high-end (undecided brand) coilovers THANKS! -HUBB

    So the issue here is that azenis tend to run about 10 oversize on the width in my experience. That makes the 205's 215's. With that said if these are going on an A1 or A2 you will need to get creative on inner fender and outer fend fit due to width. If they're going on an A3 or later they should be very nice. In an ideal world they would be a more square fit on a 7 or 7.5 width rim. There is probably some grin you,re giving up there but they would provide a great contact patch. On an A3 I was very happy with azenis in 215/45/16's on 16x7.5 rim.

    if it makes you happy run them....they will fit. They are not optimium....a 7" wide wheel would be better, alloy would also be lighter.
