Although 205/55/15 is still perfectly acceptable if you'd rather fill out the wells a bit more. I'm very happy with my setup though.

my 07 sedan is lowered on megan springs which is about a 1.5" all around. if i'm using my stock alloy wheels what would you recommend for tire size? for no rubbing?

Example: FR 205/40/17//RR 215/40/17
why are staggered tire sizes not recommended for the yaris? too much understeer as a result?

Are you talking about the Toaster or the Yaris?

"15x5.5, ET45, 185/60/15 = 23.7" is that offset for the stock black steel rims and hubcaps or the stock alloys? or both?

I have a no frills standard 2007 Yaris, and while I've browsed through this thread I guess my question still remains, so I hope you guys don't get upset with me for asking if this has been asked before.

I currently have the stock tires on my car (185/60R15) and its time to get new ones, but everywhere I go different stores are suggestion different size tires and I don't want to get something I don't need. I'm not looking for speed enhancing tires or anything like that, just basic, simple, boring tires.

Suggestions I have received have included tires that are 195/65R15 and even 175/65R14. Now I know the 14s won't fit on my car obviously, but would the 195/65R15's make a big difference? Would they even fit on my car?

I've never purchased tires on my own for a car so I want to make sure I'm not being sold something more expensive that I don't need.

Please help & again like I said I apologize if I missed a similar post with the same question.

Best bet is to get tires with the same size the old ones (185/60R15) unless you where having trouble with them which I seriously doubt.

well that is not entirely true. different tire sizes can be used to get a better ride, more performance or just better looks.

I ran 205/50R15's on my Yaris since it fit nicely on my 15x7 wheels with my 2 inch drop.... and it was one of the few sizes that BFG Super Sport A/S's came in at the time

everybody likes something different, that is why there are so many choices

no, but new wheels usually have hub centric rings available that will snuggly fit the OE hub

they are not a must, but a good idea to help prevent vibration issues, I personally have not ran them, and I have yet to have a vibration problem with out them
