advice on size
Hi All,
I was offered a a set of 215/45/15 for a reasonable price. They are on GSR fat 5 wheels, the tires are primo (I never heard of them). Offset is 45. My car is not lowered. I believe I will get decreased mileage. Any advantage to these over stock? Most of my driving is straight line and usually in the city. Thanks, Steve |

I'd be interested in what the combined wheel/tire weight would be per corner. It is quite possibly a heavy setup, and with city driving, you'll be consuming more gas getting those things rolling.
215 is a wide tire, and with ET45 you may experience front end rubs at full turn. Sounds like you may be dealing with a friend or acquaintance. See if you can put them on as a trial and see what happens.

215/45/15 is a short tyre and will look miniscule on stock suspension. Plus, 215's don't work well on the Yaris... especially up front with ET45.

GSR wheels are 15x6.5 I believe. That's the same as my civic wheels and they fit well.
I don't think you should go over 205 with this size wheels.

Personally I would never consider oversize tires/wheels on my Yaris. I was disappointed the car came with 15 inch wheels unlike the 14 inch wheels on my ECHO.
 Cheap is good!  Now....I would totally consider four donut spares on my Yaris!  Anyone done it?

Thanks for all the input.
Turns out the tires are 215/60/15 Firestone primewell ps 830's. Less than a sterling reputation. I'm passing on these after reading the reviews. Steve |
