The Lift Kit Thread aka The Canadian Commuter mod

Yeah they do, they used to make a 195/75r14 for them though. I believe there’s an off-road/dirt Yaris thread on here somewhere and he has them on his Yaris.

I had the 175/65r14s on before the 185/65r15s and noticed that 3/4” for sure once I put them on.

Too bad these don't exist anymore. That's why I'm going with the Grabbers in the 27x8.5R14. Which I may be ordering next week if my re-engineered front lifts work out this weekend.

You may need to make substantial clearance for that size. For the 27.7" tires I plan to run, gonna need to cut/bend a good portion of rear fender well out of the way, and I'm much more lifted than you are.

Stock springs all around, with the Firestone airbag helpers in the rear. Tires are 195/75-14s.

ground to pinch weld. Front: 8.25" and rear: 8.75"

Yes. I still have them on the Yaris. If shipping and import fees weren't so crazy to get them to Canada, I'd sell 'em to one of you guys.

If I were to stay with a 25" or so tire, I'd look into rally tires. Still haven't found a "regular" all terrain type tire. Then again, do an eBay search for all terrain 195/75-r14, and you'll see some pop up.

I'd personally stay with 14" wheels in order to keep the weight down a bit. Maxxis Tires have both a mud terrain (Buckshot Mudder) and all terrain (Bighorn MT-762) at a 27x8.5-14 size. Though the specs list them at 26.6" and 26.3", respectively.
