no :(

I think we can make it work with the right tire size/offset and camber up front.

and saggio showed we can pull the rear fender a good bit.

I've got the 15x9s picked out, just need to figure out what's needed to actually get it to "fit"

well that and finding the $$ to do it :lol:

Exclamation

Rota is pretty good about offering high offsets. Same with BBS if you can afford it. You might be able to find an 8"width wheel with a +48mm offset from them.

i've never owned rotas before. i have BBS RGR's on my IS300.. but seeing as the Yaris is a FWD Econobox, i think Rota will be just fine.

BUMP

I need as much rubber as humanly possible on the road. I'm OK with running a staggered offset and even wheel size if raking the car forward a bit would improve traction. Any suggestions?

Currently my fronts are pretty much flush, but the rears sit inwards moreso than the front, so a different offset for the front and rear would be ideal, no?

Glad you're here to respond to this Tamago.

we'll see how long i last this time ;)

maybe some rear spacers would make your wheel search easier. mitsubishi evolution wheel studs (ARP) will work for a longer stud.

Also, the reason I ask is my current Heliums are 15x6.5 and that ain't gonna cut it anymore. I'll be selling them soon.

So just STFU, bite the bullet and get some spacers, eh?

What about staggering the wheel heights? Does it provide any handling improvements?
