Will Axenis 215/45-16 fit on stock offset wheels (stock X-Lites, aka V spokes) without rubbing?

Garfield, I seem to remember you have this tire on a wheel with 44-45mm? offset. Do you have room left? Would the tires fit on the stock offset?

Thanks in advance.

Me and Monsta will be putting that size Pirelli's on stock 16" 5-spokes at the weekend. Can give advice on Monday. Should fit fine though I think

I make no guarantees, and I know they'll be tight, but they should fit. The 215/40R16 Hoosiers are even wider and there's still a ___hair of room left on my wheels. We're only talking about 3mm difference between mine and the stock.

That's what I have, on stock v-spoke 16 x 6.5 wheels.

I will update

Sweet tires squid!! Did you notice a big performance increase from the stock runflats to the Falkens?

Cheers!!!

Actually when I mounted the Azenis I noticed
a drop in performance, but that's becasue they
replaced Hoosiers.

As a street tire the Azenis are good. Grippy, stiff sidewalls, good in heavy rain. Good tread wear.
It feels like the grip decays the more I drive, due
to heat cycling issues, not tread wear. Then again,
it's getting colder these days. They
don't squeal much on corners. (Pro Solo
Peru people might dispute that).

I never had run flats on my MINI, I have the
Conti all seasons on 15" white 7-hole wheels,
and in November, the Contis will be my street
tires again. The 16 in rims I bought for solo2.

The Falkens are much better handling on
dry roads than the stock Contis.
