Big tire will fit? - Toyota Yaris Forums

*kimona* · 04-17-2011, 05:32 PM

The Yaris TS, for example, runs 205/45/17's (24.3" diameter) as OEM. Plus, the TS has slightly lower stock suspension than our cars... and there's a fair bit of room left in those wheel wells.

205/55/16's (24.9" diameter) are 2.6% taller than 205/45/17's... which is quite acceptable, particularly considering our cars sit on higher stock suspension than the TS.

In Japan, it's not unusual to see a base model Vitz running 205/50/17's without issues on stock suspension.

However, I believe you may get some minor rubbing on the front fender liners when lock-to-lock.

I remember a few Yarisworld members are running 205/55/16's and 205/50/17's. Perhaps you could do a search and check with them about their experiences with taller tyres.
