205 45 16 - Toyota Yaris Forums

trx73 · 05-28-2010, 10:30 AM

Hey there, I just bought a 2006 Yaris and picked up 16x7 rims with no offset. I am torn on what size tires to get. I am worried that 205 45 16 will leave too much of a gap in the wheel well and if I go 205 50 16 I am worried about rubbing . I don't plan on lowering the car for some time but I still want it too look good. Any thoughts???

Zero offset and rubbing may be synonymous for a Yaris. 35-45 mm offset is the norm.

Think I could get away with 205 50 16 with zero offset??

Maybe if you don't put tires on at all you MIGHT not have rubbing issues, but it won't matter what tire you put on it'll rub. Zero offset put rim outside of the fenders entirely.

I am assuming it is zero offset as I am sure it would be stamped on the back...wouldn't it??? Sorry I am very new to this. Is there another way to tell. I bought them used and they came from a civic.

take a hi resolution pick of the back of the wheel....and maybe the front too?

with a tape on the hub.

i'm sure there's some offset, it's extremely rare to find rims with no offset. those are like truck wheels or something...

What is the make/model of the wheels? Post some photos.

The offset is often stamped on the back of the wheel.

Long exposure + "painting" with a flashlight = what you see in the pic.

Yes.

trx73 · 06-06-2010, 08:51 PM

If so 205 50 16 or 205 45 16 without dropping. I don't want too much space in the wheel well.

Bluevitz-rs · 06-06-2010, 08:57 PM

What is you stock tire size?

trx73 · 06-06-2010, 09:02 PM

175 65 14

Bluevitz-rs · 06-06-2010, 09:10 PM

Ok, then you'd want 205/45 16 to keep it as similar to stock as possible. I personally went with 205/40 16, but my transmission has a different speed sensor ratio in so it still reads the same as stock.

With 205/50 16 you'd loose some acceleration because of the larger rotation and your speedo would be reading slower. (good if you need to trade the car in at some point though LOL)
