wow, i took a quick peek at your garage and it does look quite nice. how has the camber change affected your handling and tire wear?? i'd never think that someone could pull off those kinds of wheel numbers with a yaris...

I haven't posted any pics of these wheels yet... I'm waiting for some different coilovers so that I can lower the front more first. Camber won't affect your tire wear too much, it's toe that kills tires. If you drive aggressively and corner a lot like I do, the negative camber will actually help increase tire life. I run -2 deg front and -2 deg rear (shimmed) with 0 toe all around. It makes the car feel 100% better (handles like a go kart!)

For OP, you may want to run 195/55/15 tires if you don't plan to lower the car a lot, this will help fill in the fender gap a bit more, and will be easier to stretch since they have more sidewall.

Too much - Camber will destroy tires very quickly depending on your driving habits.
BUT you are correct toe will mutilate tires even faster.
