Hey guys maybe you can help me, would a 205-50-17 tire work with a 1.5" drop and wheels with an offset of +38? Thanks for the help!

thats kinda what I figured, 45 is about the biggest we can get away with when your lowered, thanks

to keep the size close to stock you'd likely want a 205-40

215-40 is nice too....a little extra width too!

205/50's are a bit tall, but actually work quite well with stock suspension; I've seen them on several Vitz in Japan.

With your 1.5" drop, 205/45's will be fine. I've never liked 205/40's, but they work well with more radical drops.
