No worries with 195/55/15 or 205/55/15 on stock steel wheels.

You'll get very minor rubbing lock-to-lock, which is pretty common on many set-ups with the Yaris. The good news is that we rarely lock-to-lock, and when we do, it's only briefly and at almost stop speeds. With 205/55's on stock suspension and wheels, there are no rubbing issues to worry about.

what is the tire rubbing on at full lock? smooth surface or plastic? no harm there :)

the middle of the fender lip and the center of the front and rear splash guards. but i guess that depends on the wheels offset of they are aftermarket too, so stock would be different. like i said though, i have aftermarket 15s which are wider, not factory steel wheels.

The rubbing is on the plastic fender liner and it is extremely minimal. It occurs only sometimes in a lock-to-lock maneuver and is nothing for concern.

I got 205/50/15 a mid point between the 2 you are asking for, and with OEM sport wheels and lowered with NF210s I have no rubbing at all!

Actually, 205/50'a are not "mid point" but are shorter than both the tyres we're discussing. 205/50's work well on DF's, for example, but no need to run that short with stock suspension or a mild drop.
