Best size for for a mild tuned Yaris should be

15x6.5 or 15x7

That is the best compromise... because you can find several light weight wheels on that size (and lightness = performance) and you can fit 195/55 or 205/50 tires on those rims. And there are also lots of high performance tires on those sizes.

Offsets would go from +30 to +42 depending on the drop and the tire you choose. A big drop and 205 tires you should go for thehigher offset. Less drop and 195 tires and you can go for thr lower offset...
