18 are just too big IMO. Stick with 15/16"'s for best ride/handling/mpg. I have seen 17's/18's on other Yaris's they rub, scrape and are too much for a pathetic 105 hp eco-car. You will regret getting them just read what everyone else says here too

diameter of the wheel has almost nothing to do with "rub/scrape"

don't contaminate this thread with misinformation

Really? So 22" will fit fine? C'mon keep it real, to put 18" wheels or larger on you need to go to 40 series or less tires to fit, and "keeping it real" most 18" wheels are 8" plus wide. So big tires dont scrape, give great ride, and don't dent rims?
Big wheels weigh more, therefore more unsprung and rotational mass, hurting braking and acceleration performance too. Are you saying bigger heavier wheels are EASIER to slow and accelerate? Not trying to be negative, but elementary physics dont lie... yeah they look good and wide tires have more grip of course..I think what i said still applies though.
