FYI. I picked up a set of Azenis RT-215's to trash during my upcoming 3 days of Evolution schools.

I went with 215s front / 245s rear. The 215s look like they clear fine, but the 245s are wider than the Kumho V710s. I pulled the rear spring & ran the suspension up to bump stop compression <1". The Azenis hit hard on the forward section of the inner wheel well (same place as the V710s, but much worse) & at the rear outer fender where the side marker light protrudes. Wheel spacers would be disastrous.

I have a set of the new RT-615 compound in a 225 width on the way for the rear. Hopefully the new compound won't overheat as much, but they are nearly as expensive as other options.
