Will a 7" rim, handle 215 Falken Azenis tires for street & track?

No, I'm not sure. other people who know more will chime in.
i think paul (URY) is running 215's -- aren't you paul? however, general consensus is that a 7" rim w/ 205's is pushing it on stock fenders. most often people roll their rear fender lips to accomodate the 205's (same problem 5.5-7") now, if you don't mind doing some pulling (as opposed to just rolling), then go for the 215's. you may have some front rub at full lock. however, a good sticky 205 should have enough grip for most applications. |
