Zero rubbing with TRD lowering springs and rear swaybar...

Cheers

sorry I am not saying you will not rub with that setup, but he was argueing that with the correct (215/40R17 +42) setup it will rub and it does not

Is not to big! the Yaris TS comes standard with 17 inch wheels!

17x7
+40 Offset
205/40/17 Tires
TRD Lowering Springs

No rub, great ride, good looks.

For zero rubbing, with only a 3% difference in diameter, people should choose a 205/40/17 on a 7 inch wheel with 38-40mm offset.

Let me clarify myself. I have the Tanabe DF, so I'm lower than stock and the only thing that scrapes the pavement is the bottom lip of the bumper and that's only when I hit a big pothole, I do not rub the wheels what so ever. I've had this setup for 6 months and never had a single problem making it the perfect setup

Gotcha YamilR.

Hey Black Yaris, no one is argueing here except you. Don't take everything to heart, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. His post sounded like his tires rubbed, that's all I was saying. And I'm not false, you will have zero rubbing with that setup. Wonder how I know? If you respond, please don't tell us about your 8.9 inch wide tires; We already know.

You guys must have some nasty pot holes down there in FL!

I think 17s is the perfect size for Yaris, anything bigger and it won't be proportional imo.

YarisPR · 04-26-2007, 01:11 AM

I'll go with 17's since they look good and u still have some rubber for those nasty potholes

But you could still go with 18's

like I did

Your 18's look perfect! I think the sedan looks better with 18's but the hatch is better with 17's. Maybe because the sedan is a little bigger car???

Here you go 07 polar white with 17" chrme and 205/40/17 - no rubbing

I think it's a Buffy reference. There was a whole "death is your gift" thing in Season 5...

And I just exposed myself as a big ol' nerd, didn't I?
