Oh, I know... I've done the math. I've written Excel spreadsheets to pump out all the numbers of plus-sized setups.

Good job on the nice deal though! Here... try this link... it's fun to play with.

Yes, however, OEM 17's are 205/45/17 which actually work much better than 205/40's with stock suspension.

205/45's work well with TRD's if you run the correct offset wheels.

205/40's work best with DF's, for example.

Exactly, 205/40/17's are a 1/2 inch short. No biggie. In fact if you ever lower it your Yaris then you made the right choice...
