Old school style - Toyota Yaris Forums

ohms · 09-12-2007, 02:05 PM

heres a thought...these classic rims (4x114.3 lug pattern) on adapters to fit the yaris (1" thick, "converts" 4x100 to 4x114.3 - thinnest ones i've seen on ebay) on a hatch. wonder how far they'd stick out, tho. Churp's mooncapped yaris got me thinking about this.

Those are probably a pretty low offset, meaning they're going to stick out a lot. With the addition of adapters, they'll probably stick out even more.

Speaking of old-school-style wheels, I've got these wheels (actually trying to sell them):

I'm not sure they're the style I'm looking for on the Yaris, though. I may put them on when I get my coilovers to see what they'll look like, though.

Like 39 says, they're "probably a pretty low offset". Generally, it's stamped on the back of each wheel. I would guess it won't be any more than 35mm... which will stick out some up front without adapters and look kind of stupid.

If you don't mind a poke up front, rather than use adapters, which is never recommended (and will only increase the poke), you cold have them drilled at 4x100. But, I really don't think it would be worth it, unless you're in love with the wheels.

I agree on having the wheels drilled to 4x100.... but as said b4 check the offset.... I actaully think those wheels have too low of an offset something in the low 20's high teens possibly... I think there may be some rubbing issuses if you get them to bolt up

*sigh* yup, more i looked into it, i found their offset. 10. haha. shame, i always liked that style, on it would be a throwback to what people used to put on the old rwd toyotas

If you guys like the old school rims, you should check out the SSR lineup. They re released alot of their wheels from the late 70's.
