15x8 end all questions

[marlondog]

Stay close to stock height(185/60,195/55,205/55) as possible. When you have short tires, you end up having a big gap. If you want to drop your car more to fill in the gaps, you will rub and scrape everywhere. Besides, the Yaris has a high roof and doesn't look too good with little tiny wheels and tires. Too low is good for show, but it's wack if you ain't driving on smooth roads or the track!(Jessie Jackson speaking about lowered cars)

As far as wheels, you shouldn't go wider than 7''(15x7,16x7,17x7) with a 38 offset(38-45). You will still need to add adjustable camber bolts to the front to tuck them in and to keep from busting up your fenders(anything from 38-41 will need camber). If you have spacers in the rear, I suggest you add the washers to get negative camber, or just take them off.

Stick to what works. That way, you don't have to keep changing things out and wasting time and money. You wanted a second opinion, and you got one. Good luck!

there are dozens of members here running +30mm offsets here, with no fender problems. don't regurgitate internet knowledge..

Like that guy with the blue Yaris with the Racing Dynamics and the 13mm hub spacers? He nearly took off his front fender doing autocross. I think he was running 30 offset wheels.

As far as what I know, it's based on "experimenting" and not having a good time fixing it(i.e tires,wheels,camber). Been there,done that!
Alot of people will disregard what someone says, because they don't want to hear no. I don't know which other way to say it.

If you want to spend time and money changing out tires and wheels,adjusting camber,changing out shocks and springs, pulling and rolling fenders,stretching out tires to fit on wheels they're not designed for, then go for it!


No one is trying to rain on anyone's parade. If people are so sure about it, then they shouldn't ask questions. If you get told it's a pita, believe it.If they say it's easy, don't believe it.

Anyways, I'm running +37 up front with +24 in the rear (PG 13mm spacers), 15x7 with 195/55/15 tires on DF springs. It rubs occasionally in the rear when loaded down and I hit a bump too fast. Aside from that everything is good.

I'll try to get photos but i don't really care enough to take the time to do it.
