Just put new Wheels on - Toyota Yaris Forums

Up graded from 15's to 16's, 185/60/15 to 205/50/16. The difference is amazing. Tires worked out to be almost the same height installed. No rubbing.

The tires are Made by Nexen. Really good brand for really good cost.

I will get some once it is out of the shop. Putting them on I noticed that the paint was actually peeling off my drivers side fender. It is getting repainted under warrenty.

I think I am going to get 15 with 205/50. I'd like to see some pics of what you've installed.

not a good idea.... way too small of a tire

brickhardmeat · 04-10-2007, 08:07 PM

205/50 R15 not too small

I know you say 205/55 R15 or 225/55 R15 but I checked the tire calc and205/50 R15 is by no means way too small. It is within the reccomended tire size. I'll register slightly over the speed limit. Sure 205/55 R15 is a bit closer to stock but...

here we go...

Lots of guys running 205/50 R15

now I aint puttin' no shity looking 40's on there

Correct. It's not *way* too small, sure it's a bit too small, but it better suits a Yaris size/weight than a 225/50 15, that's for sure.

Ideal *sizing* for the Yaris (IMO of course) is 195/55 15 or 195/50 16. If a sticky 195/55 15 was good enough for a 195 hp Integra Type R from Honda race engineers, it's ok for a Yaris.

I retract my previous statment and added 205/50R15 to the Official Tire Guide

No pictures, come on

Pavel Olavich · 03-30-2007, 06:10 PM

Guys, bigger wheels mean less torque, and less power, and slower off the line performance, ah, and lower MPG...looks aside, what good are they?!?

sboy · 03-30-2007, 06:53 PM

where's the pic of your ride?

brickhardmeat · 03-30-2007, 06:54 PM

I put 18's on my Golf and hated it. I want no more than 15 inchers on this car personally. I have seen 16's that love very nice though and it is tempting, but, no.
