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. |

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

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

typically the offset of a given wheel also refers to the lips size correct? The lower the offset the wider the lip? I just am having the hardest time finding the perfect wheel. I am trying to decide b/w either a 15x7.5 ET20 or a 16x7 ET40 (i want something deep dish and think these will have little to no lip) or a 16x7 ET20. My ideal wheel would be 16x7.5 ET20 would these even fit?

the offset refers to the surface where the wheel bolt to the hub
and you can have two wheels with the same offset and width, with different size lips 16x7.5 +20 would most likely poke out from the fender on a Yaris

ooooooo I get it so the offset more decides the concaveness of convexness of the face of the wheel itself. Im not worried about it poking out, Im trying to go hella flush or even a little past flush. I just want to make sure it wont rub or if I have to roll the fenders. So i cant really look at the offset to tell me the lip size?

Yeah, the offset will tell you nothing about the "lip size".
Any plans for suspension mods? 16x7, ET42 with 205 rubber will be just about flush up front, but tucked in the rear, so you may want to go with a 10mm rear spacer . |

You won't need spacers up front with 7's, ET42 and 205's.
