what size azenis sport on stock fd rims?

the falken azenis sport have limited sizes. what is better size, 205/55/16 or 215/45/16? I dont know if its okay to fit 205 on 16x8 rims but putting 215 on will reduce diameter by about 1.5 inches. tia bill

Those sizes are smaller than stock! Why would you do that?

Get a quality 245/45 16 tire. It will grip better than a 205 or 215 Azeni any day of the week.

The ONLY choices for an FD w/ Stock size (16x8) rims should be 225/50, or 245/45, 205 or 215 are too small for an FD - if you are running the FD rims on a 2nd gen (or other sub 200hp car) then the 215's are ok but still rather small on an 8" rim.
