Thanks - absolutely no rubbing, and that's with a 12" Type R Alpine sub in my hatch and, occasionally, my daughter in the back seat.

I'm with Kimona though - definitely getting some 10mm H&R spacers for the rear to widen the stance. That should work great in winter as well.

I have to say, having driven on stock 15s, some 215/45/17s with DF210s, and now this set up, IMHO the 16s offer a great balance for handling, aesthetics, and comfort. Yeah, I have more tire gap now than before but I can actually go over a speed bump straight instead of at an angle, and my Tim Horton's coffee doesn't end up on my suit on the way to work I was driving on a curvy road near the beach yesterday. You know that sense of anticipation your tongue has when you're about to take a bite out of your favourite food? Well, every nerve in my body was screaming at me to just open 'er up and ride her like a rollerskate! I can't wait to get onto a winding highway. Love my Yaris!

Thanks - and welcome to YW!

As for the speaker question, suggest you fire it through the audio forum. I'll look for it and I'm sure you'll get a better response to your question(s).

Very classy. I'd love a set of RBs powdercoated orange.

That would look wild! If I had a white vehicle I'd consider it.
