Blackyaris had those in hyperblack, and they looked great!

If you plan to keep the stock suspension, I'd go with 205/55/15's.

i ran 205/50R15 bfg super sport a/s's on those exact same wheels, and I was lowered on DF's, with no problems what so ever.

Those wheels do look awesome on a Yaris, and they are fairly light

TRD's are a rather mild drop, so you could run 205/55's and keep it very tight. Or, go with 205/50's... less expensive and more selection.

I'd go with the 205/55 Yokohamas.

$84 at tirerack, plus shipping to FL = $381.

$92 at discounttiredirect with free shipping = $368.

Don't you want to get the wheels and tyres at the same time from tirerack... so they are delivered to your door ready to bolt on?

Okay, your 2008 has TPMS... which means you can't simply order a wheel/tyre package.
