Finally! Nf210 and Buddyclub P1s fitted (pic) - Toyota Yaris Forums

nurburgring · 03-31-2007, 01:22 PM

Thanks guys once again.... for your help. Finally I got myself the NF210s and some Buddyclub replicas with Dunlop Sportmaxx tyres.

The rims rim flush in front, with the lower half of the sidewall sticking out a bit due to the rim protector. The offset is +45, tyres are 195/50R16 V-rated. There is absolutely zero rubbbing anywhere, be it U turns or full load.

I love the look of it, but my yaris is quite abit less comfortable then before. Tyre noise is up but a notch or 2, ride comfort is decent on the freeway, but deteoriates rapidly with manhole covered roads. I no longer can sail over speed bumps, and I have to watch the road surface to avoid giving my shocks a hard time. The rougher ride is probably 60% springs and 40% tyre. But having said that... grip levels are up alot, so is high speed stability. And oooh... that look.

Here is an eager first peek from my camera phone. More photos will come as I find time for a photo shoot with my dSLR

Thanks to all who have responded to my previous queries, like largeorangefont, blackyaris, amongst others.

Look awesome!!

I'm hoping to go with a 16" wheel in the future. Are yours 6.5" or 7" wide?

Mine are 7" wheels, and if I'm not wrong, its ET45. I'm riding on very grippy Dunlop SP Sportmaxx 195/50R16. It does look abit stretched. 6.5" would be perfect, but then.... it is rare for 16x6.5 to exist.

Looking down from the top in front, I do see the extreme ends of the tires sticking just slightly inside of the fenders, and the lower half, where the rim protector is, protruding out abit. Its perfect, totall flush, but no rubbing. I think 205s might look better, but it may rub.

The rear sticks in abt 1 finger, a 5mm spacer will make it look flush, but... I wouldnt bother. The Yaris bumper curves inwards when viewed from the back, so it gives the look that the tyres are pushed outwards nicely.

I hope u get what I'm trying to say.

Well. The sedan has a centre box to rest our arms, and I dont. I dont get keyless entry, i dont get fogs. Mine is made in thailand yours, in japan. Life is all abt compromises.

Thanks. I was actually intending to go white rims.... after seeing your beautiful car. BUt the didnt have stock for white, and I just cant wait.

Should I get some brembo plastic calipers ? Or would it just look cheesy ? I trust your taste alot... after seeing your car. Every detail is spot on.

As for tinted windows, I'm holding back. I dont want the car too look too dark. If not it just looks like a silhouette. If I tint, I may just go for the reflective golden sort. What do u think ?

Ah yes, white on black is niiiiice too... I actually almost went for bronze as well, and ended up getting white for the same reason (no stock

).

Please don't get those caliper covers! They look cheap, they might not even fit under your rim... Either go for the real thing, or paint your current ones red... Then add a little TRD sticker or something, that would look good

You could go for a silver looking tint, that would look good on black too...

I would agree with Thomas with the tint. If you realy want to break it up a bit I would also agree with silver, just remember that any tint you put on windows besides black or grey is going to have a slight green tint to it due to the natural color of glass, just to give ya something to think about.

I love the overall look of the ride

, I wish I had your spoiler

Dude, I just realized that pic was taken with your cam phone? So you got a nice ride and a nice phone. Now I'm super jealous.

largeorangefont · 04-01-2007, 02:08 PM

Looks great!! Good work.

Kaotic Lazagna · 04-01-2007, 06:43 PM

nice, but for me, i prefer a lower drop...that's why i got the Tein S.Tech. heh, but i bet you i'll get tired of how the ride is after a few months. lol...

hmmm, i think i'll go with those measurements for wheels when i get around to them...

sboy · 04-01-2007, 11:09 PM

im also thinking of what to buy, the NF's or the DF's?. and what size of wheels i will choose, 16's or 17's. i will install them on my sedan.

I think wheel weights go up exponentially. 17" will be alot heavier than 16" is to 15s. Already, I do feel that acceleration has been blunted somewhat. If u go carry a 17" tyre, u'll be shock how heavy it is.

Anyhow, I like abit more sidewalls. If u havent noticed, be it nascar, F1, DTM, JTCC, WRC, true performance oriented vehicles dont have rubber band tyres. A bit of sidewalls shout performance over aesthetics.

Today I had a full load of males in my car

, and it rode very smoothly. No rubbing. Yay!
