Falken Azenis Rt615 on r-84s
I am getting ready to order some of the azeni 615's in 215/45/16 for some r-84's. I am leaning towards the azenis as I had the older version on my wrx for auto-x and loved it.
I did have a couple of questions/concerns:
-any rubbing issues with the 215/45 on the r-84 with stock s suspension?
-is it the 215/45 difficult to mount on the r-84's?
-and lastly it seems edge racing has a pretty good price, any feedback on them?
Many thanks for the input
edit:fixn a little size typo...thx xalfa....

1. Edge racing has a totally bomb price on the RT615! I was actually thinking of getting another set just because of their price. Unbeatable.
2. I have 215/40/17 and no problems with 1" lowered MCS, so I doubt you'll have problems on the 16" R-84s.
3. Can't answer the mounting question...
I love the Azenis tires--really sticky (even at the drags 2 weekends ago--scary!) and not too bad in the other departments. Not the best at anything, but great summer, occasional race and lots of street work, a little noisy but not too bad, look great...
cheers,

Just a little update with my own feedback.
-edgeracing had a very good price on the wheels no major problems. the tires were ordered on Sun eve and shipped on Wed. not sure why the delay (it may have been related to the "non oem size" 215/45/16) but overall a good deal.
-in terms of mounting the shop I used, got them mounted up w/o any problems. The last set of azenis I mounted were fairly difficult to get mounted. I had a direct hand in that set and was suprised at the difficulty we had. I had heard that going into it, so it was not a total suprise but still...
on the r-84s I was not there while they mounted them but they were done in a timely fashion and no problems. (they actually had a problem removing one of the runflats but that is a story for anotehr day)
-no rubbing issues so far

I have 215-45-16 RT215's on R84 xlite. Stock springs/shocks, camber plates too. Never rubbing.
Azenis are in this size for RT615 now?
I really love them, though the 215's are heavy. 615's supposed to be lighter.
I'm in SoCal so don't care about wet weather running.
I doubt changing wheels ((7 - 8" width) would change performance significantly but would be interested in hearing of others' experiences
