Question about using 16" rims on Yaris

Hi - I'm thinking about buying a new 2014 Yaris.... currently I'm driving a Scion iQ. I love that car, but I hate the seats it has (very uncomfortable seats, back problems when driving the iQ). So I'm considering a lease swap and getting into a Yaris.

Here's my question: I have a set of brand new 16" alloy rims, but the width is 6.5 rather than the usual 7. I'm wondering if I could use these rims on a 2014 Yaris hatchback and if so, what size of all-season tires (in 16") would be advisable?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Blair

The SE Yaris is on 16 with 195 50 16 tires ...not sure about offset think its like 50 but could be 45 ...195 works nice on 6.5 rim

16 x 6.5 will fit very well. Check the offset of the wheels. 195/50's are OEM fitment. More choices with 205/50's which are a great fitment.

I ran 205/50/16, great size and just a little sportier than stock.

Yokohama S Drives, Sumitomo and there are many other good brands to pick from in those sizes.

I ended up buying the Yaris!!! I got a 2014 hatchback 5-speed. I've had it for 2 weeks already and I absolutely LOVE IT! I just got the windows tinted yesterday.
