yeah... yaris will do 14's perfectly fine... in fact... there was at least one person that fit 13's onto the yaris.

lol, despite the snow, you CAN drive 1 car year-round

13's fit on the yaris, but width and offset of the wheel are super important....i havent seen a yaris fit 13" steelies yet.

I know you can drive one car year round... I bought my yaris in the winter... and that winter we had 90+ inches of snow.

point being, if you get in a wreck, since it is technically used (you drove it off the lot)... the insurance companies will shaft you on the payout... and unless you have gap protection you have just throw away a few thousand dollars. If you wreck in the 04 yaris, you either 1: don't have payments, or 2: won't be nearly upside down in the loan... if at all.

also... if they use de-icing agents on the roads up there.... the paint & possibly metal will be damaged slowly over time.
