16" or 17" wheels? - Toyota Yaris Forums

PolrWht07 · 05-16-2007, 05:13 PM

I bought my Yaris to make it look good, of course, like most people, but I also have to remember that at some point there will be a car seat in the back (lame I know, but none the less it is a deciding factor) and while i'll keep the 14's I have on there now (stock) because of the dunlops that came with it having such a good warranty, I can say I won't be going with anything bigger than a 16" rim and 50-55 series tire. I just wouldn't want to have to put new springs, and change my suspension all for a bigger rim. While I do think the 17 would be better cosmetically, I wouldn't want to sacrifice the smooth ride my Yaris gets. By the way, I've had mine 5 days now, and love it. Toyota definately got it right with this one.
