Tercel 13" OEM wheel

I saw a set of four 13" OEM steel wheel with good tires on a Tercel at the junkyard for $100. The bolt pattern and offset appears to be the same as the Yaris'. Will the 13" clear the front caliper? I'm tempted to put these on my Yaris just for fun and hypermiling.

13's likely won't clear the caliper

I found discussions by UK yaris owner about 13" wheels. Apparently, 13" comes stock on some UK yaris. So 13" wheels do clear the caliper!!! Unless UK calipers are smaller than US ones.

I'm referring to tiny OEM 13"x4.5" wheel. It's only 4.5" wide.

My bet is that they will. I tried 12" Subaru Justy wheels, and they were about 1/2" too small to clear the caliper. The opening of the back side of the rim needs to be just over 12" in diameter to clear the stock caliper and dust shield.

sorry, 13" steel wheels arent likely to fit around the caliper

its not the diameter that is like the issue, it will be the face of the wheel rubbing the caliper - - - which is to say the wheel isnt wide enough
