Wheel offset questions - Toyota Yaris Forums

mehullica · 02-26-2011, 12:21 AM

Hello, like usual I need help. I've got a 2009 3 door yaris with TRD LOWERING springs & steel wheels. I'm looking at various 15x7 alloy wheels to put on & want to go with a little bigger tire. What offset is best to run a 205 size tire without any rubbing or other problems? Ordaining I go for 15x6 wheels? I just want a wider wheel/tire to get more stability during my 140 mile a day commute. These stock wheels don't feel to safe in rainy or windy days. Thanks guys!!

15x7 offset +40 to +45

To avoid rubbing isuues, I would suggest ET42-45mm with 205's for a bolt on and go fitment. Members have experienced some rubbing with ET40 and 205mm tyres. If you decide to go with ET40, I recommend 195's.

or you could not cookie-cutter it, do slight fender mods, and run a wheel that doesn't look like you bought it on ebay ;)
