I think you may have misunderstood. You will want the narrower tire, but on the wider wheel. The tire/wheel combo will determine the contact patch as well as how the sidewalls of the tire are supported. The wheel/tire is a system, and should be thought of as such.
Share a link to the 215 Azenis you are considering, I can then share my opinion as to what wheel width they should be installed on.
Here is a tech article from Tire Rack talking about wheel width.

And here is another article that explains the tire tread width measurement in relation to wheel width. Usually the tire tread width increase 0.2" for every 0.5" of additional wheel width.
