Hey guys whats goin on,I got a quick tire fitment question.
Well I should be getting my Gram Lights in very shortly, since I was told tht it would be 2-3 months before they get here because of backorder. It has now been 2 months so they should be here soon. So the time has come to now order tires.

I am thinking about getting the Falken Azenis in 225/45/17, should I have any fitment problems w/ this size of tire?

The Gram Lights are 17 X 7.5 at +30 offset, I am getting my fenders rolled on monday, so do you guys think I should be fine on tire size.

Thanks a lot.

They will fit with and without rolled fenders.

They should clear coils too, just barely.

Thank you Duffman

I figured that I would be fine, but just wanted to doublecheck before I ordered. I am rolling the fenders just to be safe, and I plan on having multiple sets of rims, so I'll be fine later on down the line whenver I get some nicer wider rims, but the gram lights will have to do for now.

I doubt you'll have problems. I'm running 235's on a 17x8 up front, +30 offset, and it clears on my S14. with a bit of camber it tucks in. Without it, it's flush with the fender. You'll have around a 1/4 inch more clearance compared to my setup.
