Just a quickie here, can going from factory size (180-60-15) to a slightly taller sidewall (185-65-15) be afforded without rubbing?

You should be fine with 185/65/15's. Post a pic if you decide to go that way.

Will do, the tires I have in mind have a very unique feature to them. Won't see any pictures for months though, still gotta wear out the stocks. ;)

Great thread, lots of good information. I have an 08 Yaris Sedan, I believe it has 185-50-15, car is not here so I can't walk out to check. I have a new set of 205-50-15 in my garage, do you think these would these be too much for the Yaris? I think it would look better with a little more tire but don't want to get too carried away. Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

In winter I run with 205/50/15, they look great if your car is lowered, performance is awesome. The Diameter is less than OEM (smaller tire) speedometer will read about 3% faster than actual.

Ok would like to know which offset you would recommend... Looking at a 2008, 3 dr with Tein springs, Kosei 17x7 with 205 40 17, the rims come in 2 offsets, 38 and 42. Which would be the wiser choice?

Thanks

I would recommend ET42. With the drop and 205mm rubber, ET42 works best up front.

How much would my Belta's fuel consumption be affected by adding 185/65/R15 after the stock 165/70/R14.

Ok still trying to make up my mind....

How about 17x7.5 ET40 rear and ET45 front with 205/40/17?

With Tien springs... on a 3dr hatch
