Just got some Enkei wheels...

17x7 Enkei J10's. Pic is below. I'm thinking of going with either Falken Ziex ZE-512

205/45 -17 or the 215/45 -17

Has anyone had any experience with these? Of perhaps know of a similar tire? Any help is appreciated.

EastBayStuntN is an unknown quantity at this point
falken 512s are great tires for the price. but my words speak from various online reviews off public forums. however, i did hear they arent the best in snow...


i had 215/45/17 on some 7.5" wide rims before... it would rub easily on the front, but the rear was perfectly fine as long i set my camber a little negative. if your going to drop more than 2"... id stay away from the 215 and go with the 205. my solution was to go 205/45/17 front and 215/45/17 rear... but i never got to it since i went with different 17s and traded.

Eh... probably won't drop it at all. Been there, done that. No biggie. I just want to make sure the speedo won't be too far off. I don't have to worry too much about snow here either being in Houston.

JCiv03 is on a distinguished road
I'd go for the 215/45 series. They'll definitely be cheaper since it's a more common size compared to the 205/45 series.

for the price, the ZE512's are good for street use.....
there are better tires out there (obviously).......
good choice on the rims too!
