Just got my 17" rims! - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

sroberts · 09-05-2006, 04:15 PM

Yeah, you better be careful. I put bigger tires on my other ride. This caused my speedo to be WAY off and I get about 8 mpg. It also caused all these scratches and dents on the sides. My fender wells are hacked, my gas tank is dented up and I have all this extra weight to haul around......Oh wait! The scratches are from bushes and the dents are from rocks and the weight is from the all the spare parts I carry when off roading in mountains....

just depends... i heard from a friend who works at honda, that most newer cars have ecus that will automatically recalculate your guages and braking systems with aftermarket tire/wheel setups. I may be throwing useless info out there but my brothers running about two and a half inches too big on his SI and his guages havn't had a problem. Toyota may be different but they seem to always be right behind Honda if not in front of them with most of their electronics. And for what I know about abs systems... the only way you can mess them up dramatically is if your running a stagger, or bigger tires in the rear than in the front. Actually I know for a fact that if you stagger your tire sizes that most if not all of your ecus and guages will be messed up. Knowing what I've seen so far the Yaris will pull up with a CEL if you stagger the way the got sensors running through the thing. So dont be too discouraged, again I may be wrong, but try running on what you have for a while, maybe go to a parking lot and make sure your abs works fine, if you have it.

someone better tell all those honda owners, 4x4 owners, suv owners that theyre going to hoop their rides with those wheel and tire setups theyre running.

well...nice to see another car forum with a bunch of jerks on it.

thank you for your well thought replies...now...the question...do i care...the answer is no...i do not care what any of you think.

so, thank you for all the helpfull suggestions...I will be going lower profile when i have the money, untill then they will stay on there...so, unless you all have the money to give me to buy differant tires (as I said, the tires on there were free) please to not try to bully me into buying something I do not have the money for right now.

P.S. Lock to lock no rub, there is actually 1" of clearance. there is 2" fender to tire, and the only thing that rubs is the rear mudshields in the back if you take a speed bump fast.

Wow, dont get your panties in a bunch. People are just trying to help. Maybe they could be a little less dramatic when they post but its just advice. Don't post if you don't want responses.

BTW, your statement makes you just as much of a jerk....

SPADES, you absolutely not understand the what the problem is! It have nothing to do with the wheel clearance, it's the lastest of the concerns! It's related with the VSS (vehicule speed sensor) who provide the most importants measurements to your ECU (Engine Controller Unit). If your ECU is not receiving the right datas from the sensor about the driving speed and conditions, it will fuck up all the settings of the engine (air/fuel mixture, ect). It is really major! If you don't trust us, just call your dealer right fuc*** now.

If you don't have the money to put the right tires on your car, just keep the stocks on! You don't have to break something major on your car because you don't have the money to buy right tires... it doesn't make sense!

slvryaris · 09-05-2006, 11:40 PM

All the postings on here is good advice even though it might not seem like it at times. People just need to be a little more helpful instead of being quick to say YOU ARE A F*&^ING MORON or something to that nature. No wonder you feel like you are being bullied at times. Some people just need to tune it down a notch.

Its tough love people... we all get flamed from time to time. Its part of the game. BUCK UP!

205/40/17 will be your best fit.
My 17"s was 7-1/2"wide so I went with 215/40/17

Just for your info, the tires size doesn't really matter with the wheels. It does matter with the car it's going on. Definitely 205/40/17 will be your best bet.

Enjoy!

dngz · 09-08-2006, 09:51 AM

40 profiles should be juuuuuust right!

H2XcapePod · 09-18-2006, 02:43 PM

Everyone I c runs 205/40's, I can see the variance for 205/45's are just a little bit more but still within 3%. I think I'd like a bit more rubber, call it pothole-a-phobia...

mhero · 09-18-2006, 09:38 PM
