Stay close to stock height(185/60,195/55,205/55) as possible. When you have short tires, you end up having a big gap. If you want to drop your car more to fill in the gaps, you will rub and scrape everywhere. Besides, the Yaris has a high roof and doesn't look too good with little tiny wheels and tires. Too low is good for show, but it's wack if you ain't driving on smooth roads or the track!(Jessie Jackson speaking about lowered cars)
As far as wheels, you shouldn't go wider than 7''(15x7,16x7,17x7) with a 38 offset(38-45). You will still need to add adjustable camber bolts to the front to tuck them in and to keep from busting up your fenders(anything from 38-41 will need camber). If you have spacers in the rear, I suggest you add the washers to get negative camber, or just take them off. Stick to what works. That way, you don't have to keep changing things out and wasting time and money. You wanted a second opinion, and you got one. Good luck! |

i just mentioned im running a +28 rear
the difference is i just shaved my rear fender- but now because of that i think i am actually capable of running a 22-25 on a 7 inch wide wheel with the appropriate sized tire. I am trying at the moment to work out a deal for some work emotions so if I do I am going to ask my tire guy to let me try on different tires and use spacers to see how aggressive i can afford to sit. I want my tires to be flush but stretched tires arent my thing so im hoping I can run a 205/45 or 215/45 on these new 17x7s and have perfect fitment |

OP already stated that he WANTED to expirement. That's half the fun, right? Making something work that is out of the ordinary. I know oi would want to settle on something that I didn't really like because it was the easy way out.... |

Like that guy with the blue Yaris with the Racing Dynamics and the 13mm hub spacers? He nearly took off his front fender doing autocross. I think he was running 30 offset wheels.
As far as what I know, it's based on "experimenting" and not having a good time fixing it(i.e tires,wheels,camber). Been there,done that! Alot of people will disregard what someone says, because they don't want to hear no. I don't know which other way to say it. If you want to spend time and money changing out tires and wheels,adjusting camber,changing out shocks and springs, pulling and rolling fenders,stretching out tires to fit on wheels they're not designed for, then go for it! No one is trying to rain on anyone's parade. If people are so sure about it, then they shouldn't ask questions. If you get told it's a pita, believe it.If they say it's easy, don't believe it.

its not that hard to experiment
you just need a combination of spacers, a tire guy who will let you test fit some tires, and a jack and jackstand this is how the hellaflush guys do it all the time. if you want to see how a wheel will fit your car then just jack the wheel into the fender and see what the tire hits judging by how my wheels are fitting currently, it looks like you can make the wheel perfectly flush with the body on with a x7 +35 in the front and +25 in the rear (im talking about adding 10mm spacers without camber shims). tire rub is a different story. im just talking about proper wheel fitment. if you want to poke/ stretch- please do experiment and post results. - and dont quote me on this. im still experimenting as well the emotions i am trying to get are +42 but i am going to attempt a 10mm spacer in the front and 18-20mm in the rear. ill post results once i get there but i do plan to completely shave the excess metal off my fenders i am also going to do the rear suspension mod to reduce my toe angle around the same time. this is all dependent on whether or not i get the wheels obviously but we shall see. i may just attempt to run an extra 5mm spacer on the team dynamics i have currently to see what kind of fitment i could achieve with a +33 front and +23 rear |

Anyways, I'm running +37 up front with +24 in the rear (PG 13mm spacers), 15x7 with 195/55/15 tires on DF springs. It rubs occasionally in the rear when loaded down and I hit a bump too fast. Aside from that everything is good.
I'll try to get photos but i don't really care enough to take the time to do it.

nope. It's almost perfect, the rear fender barely hits the side wall of the tire. I'm running Dunlop Direzza Z1 star spec. If i had better than the crap DF spring rate i'd probably be fine as is. I could take a bat to the fender or just let nature take it's course and let the tire do the job.
I think your "experimental" fitment would be the perfect fit.

would 15x8 with a +15 offset make any difference in rubbing issues?

yeah. i think that's just over the "limit" of what a stock wheel well can handle.

if you think about it, a x8 +15 is the equivalent of a x7 +2 or +3 you will most certainly poke the wheels out though if thats what youre looking for |

once i get my car back to the states (in about a month or two) im going to be test fitting some 15x8 +6 offsets in the front. also im going to be trying to fit 15x10 +0 offsets in the rear. i highly doubt the rears will fit, but im going for the aggressive stance so we'll see. heres pics of the car theyre coming off of and the exact wheels they are. im also getting tein coilovers and possibly camber to make it all fit. i'll definitely post pics and info when we work on it.

well if 15x8 +0 is absolutely going to be a problem which seems to be the consensus then I guess ill be going with 15x8 +15 and ill still get to poke which is what im going after.
