Help Please! Specific Fitment Question On 16x7 +15

[Toyota_Yaris]

2007 Yaris LB - Stock

I'm ready to pull the trigger on 16X7 +15 XXR - 513's. I will not be lowering my car now or ever in the future, so will this reduce the rubbing problem everyone seems to be having with these rims?

I am coming from a lifted 4Runner so I'm completely new to the small car/rim set up.

I am sorry if there are already posts on this exact topic, I couldn't find any. Most people have their cars lowered +/- 2", but I'm not a fan of that look so I'm hoping I'll be able to avoid most of the issues.

Also, what size tire do you suggest?

Edit: After some more searching...would front camber bolts and rear shims help with reducing the amount of rim sticking out past the fender?

Maybe - but wouldn't finding a rim that doesn't need them ultimately be a better option?

I would suggest you find a wheel with proper offset.

16x7, ET42-45, 205/50/16 will make for an excellent fitment on stock suspension.

EDIT: There are a few other Panasport inspired wheels similar to the XXR-513 that are available in ET40 that will work very well on the Vitz with the right tyre.

You can get a similar look with a safer fitment if you go with a Rota RB, Konig Rewind, etc.

+15mm is going to poke. Is that what you want?

You'd have to stretch tires and use negative camber to get those anywhere near the fenders. They might not rub because you're not lowered, but they will visually stick out.

True, I just like the style of the rim. I've yet to find another rim that doesn't give a riced out look or look too big for the size of the car. I need to look at the rim's everyone else listed out for me.

Thanks, I'll check them out. I've read up on the the fitments that work, but I've also seen two cars running 513's and they don't stick out past the fenders? I don't know what they did to achieve it, but they look good.

I'd rather they not stick out, but less than a 1/4" isn't that big of a deal to me...but i've also never seen the set up in person, so i can't really say.

Overall, I just noticed that everyone who has rubbing issues has their cars lowered an inch or more. Since I'm not planning on ever lowering the car, I figured it would eliminate the fender rub...especially if I run bolts/shims.

Is there a downside to using either of those to achieve a slight negative camber?

Like Kimona suggested, the Panasport inspired wheels are a great option. I also liked the XXR 513 but the offset turned me away. I am getting the Rota RB in a 16 X 7 rim with a 40 offset. Even with my 1.4"/1.3" drop, I should not get any rub with 195/50/16 rubber. The rims are attractive, relatively lightweight and certainly affordable.

Good luck

Yeah, good call. I do like the Rota RB's. Have you been able to find anyone who has done the "staggered" look? I'm curious to see what it would look like, if it's even possible.
