You could run your rear with a higher offset than the front. Say no more than 2-10mm difference between the front and rear. I know looks-wise it may not be what you want but it will help the car rotate better. I think if you combine everything said earlier with the "reverse staggered offset" (i don't know if there is a term for that setup) you could achieve what you are after.

I'm planning on running the "reverse staggered offset" once I get wheels sorted so if you don't get around to it I will let you know how it feels. My suspension is stock and I will be running only a 23mm rear sway bar,stock suspension , 15x7 et37 or 16x7 et40 on Falken RT615s 205/50/15 or 16. Once Tamago finishes his hub spacers I was going to run the 13mm in the front and the 10mm in the rear.

the car is already 25mm skinnier in the rear. IMO making the rear wider (more stable) would be a better start. put that swaybar to work for you!

For sure your suggestion is a better start for him. But for me I think the car rotates fairly well stock for an FF. I just wanted to mess around with different offsets after spending a few years reading other Yaris owner's feedback with different suspension/tire/wheel/bar setups. I wanted the car to be tighter in the rear but rotate easier. The sway should handle a lot of the roll while the wider front helps the rear rotate. Right?

No one else has tried it yet so i figure what the hell, give it a shot?

I went with these wheels. http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15883 It turns out you can only get them in Japan according to Simon. I kind of believe him because when i looked them up to check if they were real and not really good knock offs, i couldn't find this size listed. After seeing them in person, they're real.
