Offsets

[Astroman]

Congrats on deciding to purchase a Yaris! I have to ask, did my appearance at the June 2nd Scion cruise help in the deciding factor? Sorry though about offset, not sure what and what isn't ok.

+40 or more is your best bet, how low do you want to go?

what tires are you wanting to run?

probably with 195/40/16 you wo'nt have any worries but then again +35 is going to poke abit and this has been a topic of discussion in recent days

nothing wrong with a little rubbing, you can always roll your fenders too and maybe some neg. camber

Well, I haven't decided 100% yet, but it may happen! Your Yaris really did look good, and I have liked them for quite a while. We'll see.

How low? Probably about 2". I'd probably run a 205/50/16 to keep the speedo correct. I don't want to roll the fenders or do neg camber. So, I'll look for +40 wheels when the time comes.

I'm running 40 offset on 15" wheels and 205-50's on about a 2.5" drop and I get light rubbing under severe driving conditions. for a 16" or 17" wheel, i would suggest an even milder offset, closer to mid-40's depending on the tire profile.

agreed and this is why with the same set up as yours I think I'll end up with some camber bolts and go neg. camber

I'll consider rolling my fenders too but I don't think it is crucial with 205/50/15, I'm not too worried about minor rub

have you thought about adding camber bolts, someone was talking about doing this and I think it may work since them rubbing is on the outer, I actually think visually neg. camber looks cool, I'm still doing some research

since it's not a track car, the really minor rubbing on the splash guards isn't a problem for me. i've had this type of rubbing, and alot worse, in many different cars so i'm used to it. if i wanted to put her on the track, i'd raise up the height and/or remove the splash guards anyway. i'd have to say no to the camber bolts to try and save as much tire as i can. but they would definitely work for you.

no camber bolts for me either now that I have the basics installed , I'm not concerned with rubbing
