Kimona!!

You are like the tire God around here. lol :D

Thanks, bro and I will def post some pics when my setup is complete.

One more for you kimona:

17x7 +38mm ET enkei ev5's.

Recommend the OEM 205/45 or 205/40 (or anything else)? I was told the 205/40's should be fine on less than 2" drop.

THANKS!

With 7's, ET38, I generally prefer 195mm rubber, but with 17's you don't have much choice but to run 205's.

I would prefer 205/45's with your 1.5" drop; however, with ET38-40, I'd probably run 205/40's... a tyre size I really don't like too much.

If at all possible, choose 7's with ET42 or greater; they just work better up front for a simple bolt and go application.

sleey0 · 09-05-2010, 12:40 AM

Yeah, I know. The only reason I am even thinking about the 38ET's is because of price.

Can get an entire set of wheels for $300 and they are in excellent condition with minimal pitting.

As opposed to the RP03's that will run at least $1k without tires. lol

*kimona* · 09-05-2010, 07:12 AM

Yeah, but the dual-drilled Enkei EV5's are rather unsightly IMHO.

I thought they look pretty nice. Guess to each his own.

*kimona* · 09-05-2010, 08:34 PM

I'm just not a fan of any dual-drilled road wheels.

sleey0 · 09-06-2010, 11:18 AM

So the holes bother, not the design of the wheel.

Hello guys, I need a little help here, because I did not come with an answer while searching.

Reference wheel fitment is this one (offered by TTE, so it is a perfect fit for the Yaris): Picture
Specs for the above pictured wheel are: 16x7" and ET45.

So, having in mind that tire size will definitely be 195/50/R16, which is the lowest offset that the wheel should have?

For example, the Work CR-Kai is 16x7" with ET44, which would fit perfectly, but the O.Z. Ultraleggera has ET37. Would ET37 be OK with the specified tire size?

The car is currently not lowered, but it might be lowered (no more than 1.2") in the future.

Thanks in advance!

No problems after I took the 10 mm spacers !

O.Z. Ultraleggera - 195/50/R16 - ET37

derickveliz2, you have a very nice sedan

With ET37 wheels and 10mm spacers you actually got an effective ET27 (if I am not mistaken) and you had no problem with that? Sounds weird!

I did have rubbing issues with 10mm spacers. without them no more rubbing.

I'm sorry I should have been more specific!

NO spacers = NO rubbing

Ok, now I get it!
I also hope that the hatchback (which is what I have) has the same space under the fenders as the sedan!

Thanks for helping!

16x7, ET37, 195/50/16 will be a good fit. ET37 is the lowest offset I would trecommend with 195's.

kimona is right on the dime! also if you consider lowering your car, the front wheels get very close to the fenders. If you are planing to lower your car by a lot, be aware of the limits with ET37

2 cts.

I just got some 15x6.5, ET37 wheels.. Want to put 205/55R15's on them.. Will this be ok? What about a 205/50R15?

Either tire will work well.

The 205/55/15 will have a more cushy sidewall, better ride, etc.

The 205/50/15 is closer to stock height, and will handle better.

Depends on what you're looking for.

Thanks kimona! This will help me end up somewhere...
