It depends what look are you going for. Are you looking at going the stanced route? If so, the 17x9 +25 setup will definitely poke out of the fender. The 17x8 +33 will also poke out but to a lesser degree. If you want the wheels to sit flush with the fenders then you will need a set of camber bolts / shims to dial-in some negative camber. Also, you will need to run stretched tires or do some fender rolling/pulling for clearance when going really low. Also, on most coilover setups for the Yaris, the rear will tend to not go low enough where you may need a set of shorter springs.

Thanks for the advice, will post pictures once I get the coilovers fitted and the current wheels spaced.
