Anyone fit a 8" wide wheel on yet? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Was anyone able to run a 8" wide wheel without rolling the fenders?

with a low profile narrow tire, and a high offset wheel, it should fit fine.

Aw man! I want to see pics! Most yaris I see run 7" or 7.5", but that still doesn't look balanced enough for my liking. I believe a fat 8" wheel, all around, would be perfect! But I would think it'd rub in the front, even with low pro tires?

I'm sure they most likely will rub. I got some 215/50 the other day and they were 7.5 and they rubbed horribly. Had to return them and get 45's. For some reason, they still rub when there's a lot of weight in the car, or make sharp turns, or brake suddenly. So my best guess is 8's won't fit well. Even if you get 40's..
