New wheels, blue wheels (pics) - Toyota Yaris Forums

So I test fit my wheels today seeing as there is a guy that wants to buy my stockies. Got these from a buddy a while back and mathmatically we thought they would work (15X7, offsets seemed perfect), but once I put them on I saw my front brakes wont clear.

I can space 1/2 inch in the front with no rubbing problems with the streched tires Ill be running... but what is the biggest spacer you guys are running on your stock lug bolts?

Off topic...I love the rear end look. All shaved with the handle color matched. I was wondering how this would look and I must say it makes it much cleaner. PM me with where and what color you purchased to do that.

Thanks! I still need to re-install my rear emblem.

I recently took my wiper off and decided (while Im in there) to go a little further and take out the handle. I sprayed it with some stuff I had around the house, I think it was Duplicolor white enamel. Its just slightly brighter than the factory color, not enough to notice unless you look for it. You can get this spraypaint around $5 at any hardware store.

So anyone know how to help my predicament? My 1/4 inch spacer wasnt quite enough to clear. I think I only need about 10mm... but I dont know of any auto parts that sell that size.

Personally I dig the color coordinated jack handle, That's a nice touch

They will not work. Please wrap them up and send them FedEx to me at once!!

This car now needs some sort of blue accented graphic on the sides, Or maybe some kind of striping..It would really rock with blue tint on the windows also!

Blenjar · 02-28-2007, 10:14 PM

Walter, those rims are GORGEOUS. What kind?!

bugnuts · 02-28-2007, 11:24 PM

If it is ricey...Then it shall be! It's O.K. to be a bit ricey, Just not teenage suburbian white boy ricey. Fear not rice my friend! Do the blue

What is the offset on those wheels?

Looks good, too bad you have to put spacers on the front. Is it because of the wheel design?

Walter · 03-01-2007, 02:18 AM

Thanks for the comments guys!

I really do love how the wheels look... I cant wait til theyre mounted!

I think Im going to leave my 1/4 inch spacers in the rear... and throw some 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch spacers (stacked) in the front. Crossing my fingers that it will work!

The wheels are custom widened smoothies with chrome lips and the centers were painted in my friend's garage with bright blue Krylon ;). IIRC they are 10 and 20 offset, but the reason they dont fit is, in fact, the design of the wheel.
I have bullet center caps for them, but Ill probably go for the baby moons (they clip into these wheels since they have the tabs).

Wait, are those rims solid in the center?

Yup

ChinoCharles · 03-01-2007, 12:55 PM

HAHA! Those are exactly the same as the ones I was looking at the other day then.

You may have just convinced me to get them.
