Crazy Offset Yaris Go-Kart, lol.

[YAR1S]

oh wow I leave this post unattended and this is how it ends up? :(


Here are the responses from me on all your comments???

-1.5 - they are 16x8.
- Marlondog - nah not herrafrush more like poking like crazy and I have NO PLANS to put these wheels on my yaris.... note I only put them on one side and they came off my brother's 300zx which they look a whole lot better on...... hah. :}

-QR25DE_SpecV - Nope. Just a test fit to pass some time since the wheels had a 4x100 bolt pattern, simply wanted to see how crazy they'd look on my car... caliyaris(garm) has the track/drag wheel concept going on, not me.... hah..


-Altitude - unfortunately no ..... the key for the lug nuts wouldnt fit in the holes .... just hand tightened and lowered back to the ground... didnt want to get them stuck on there for good without a tool to take them off. :s

-Betrivent - haha I know I know..... mini suv.... no money ..... maybe soon ;)

-Mouse - Yes, it is .... I made it myself.... :)

silver_vios - I actually have a 2 ton hydraulic jack .... it's lifting the white 300zx in the background while we switch the wheels..... no point in having two of them .... besides that jack can be sued in most situations where the road is flat and no traffic, why not use it?? thats what it is for, lol..... it doesnt break cause you use it in non-emergency situations.... besides Im glad I use it cause im sure some yaris people have no idea where their' jack is at first til they figure out where it is hidden ;)

ASSUME = making an A** out of U and ME .








now I want to know what was said because guess what?

A crazy offset on the Yaris looks amazing if done right.... I get tons of people saying they love my car and ask how i fit my rims on it. That offset would look great with some neg camber and rolled fenders

I wanted to try the same thing back when I still had my 240, just to see what it would look like. I never got around to actually doing it, but at least now I know.

I can't understand how the "I weigh 500 pounds and my axles are about to break" look ever became desireable. To each his own I suppose.

yep :)

I think its the aspect of keeping the wheels flowing fluidly with the body lines of the car, looks good on some cars, thats what ive heard

lol well .....

I should have really done a DIY on it....

I went by the garage door splitter DIY before I realized it wouldnt bend around the bumper.

So I went with some of that black garden landscape edging? the stuff you stop grass from growing into your flower beds....
I got it from home depot for like 10 bucks.
It comes kinda rolled up and you have to carefully flatten it out so as to not have the creases left behind from flattening a curved surface.
Then I cut it to form a smooth rounded surface on the ends (because it wont wrap around the edges). Then I just secured it via zip ties through the lower grille and down through the bottom of the bumper through cut holes in the black edging.

Its complicated to explain but its pretty easy to do if you just go at it... you could drill into your bumper but I persoanlly didnt want to do that so I just went with zip ties.

The only downside is sometimes it rattles on "D" while parked and stops during driving or in "N".... it doesnt rattle at all or move at highway speeds.... pretty sturdy and looks good for only 5 dollars :)



I'll take some better pics tomorrow of how I secured it.

the word on the streets is your getting some rims sometime soon. LOL

[why?]

zip ties are just as good as duct tape. Tons of uses and no downside. =)
