^^^ I was going to answer your question, but it looks like you may have found some wheels already! You guys are only about 100km's (1 hour) apart. Maybe meet in the middle and you're both happy. Good luck.

I understand all the aspects of the tire and rim sizing except for offset. How do i know if the offset is too high or too low for the car? Stock tires/rims is 46 offset.

205/50/15's are a little shorter but will fit the stock alloys fine.

Tyre Diameter: 175/65/15's are 24" (609mm) and 205/50/15's are 23.1" (587mm).

You could go with 205/55's @ 23.9" (607mm).

^^^ That's actually an excellent choice for tread pattern; non-aggressive for a quiet ride, and a solid, continuous centre band for straight-line tracking.

Please, let us all know how they work out for you.

i have yaris 2016 1.3 base sedan with stock tires 175/65R14 with steel rims. I am planning to change to 15inch/16inch alloys. Would 16inch be advisable?

initially i plan on 195/55R15 but if 16inch rims will not be an issue with my smaller engine then i will go for it.

What could be the potential problems i will face later on when upgrading to tires with 16inch rims?

very bad, i already changed to clone OEM Rims 15x5.5 and there is no available 195/55R15 in the shop.. They only have 195/60R15. The worst part i agreed to use it...

Feels sluggish and heavy to me, considering i am on 1.3L engine only. Also i need to put more pressure while braking. If only there is 195/55R15, i guess i need to wait for another 70k KM to change tires... I hope fuel consumption would not be affected that much since now i feel i am running faster with lower RPM.. its like i am ~5km/ faster than my stock 175/65R14

Sold my set of 195/60R15 for half the price after using them for 2500km and used 185/60R15 instead... I cannot believe the huge difference in handling especially on corners and theres no more slouch start from my small engine, powerful start is what i need.

195/55R15 could have been much better but i dont want to hit all the crazy humps here in KSA roads.

This thread was very handy.

Looking to get 16x6.5" wheels with an offset of +40. Not sure about what tyres though!

How about a set of Accent 16" x 6.5" alloys? They're cheap, readily available, same bolt pattern, same offset as the 15" RS alloys and the Toyota center caps snap right in.

Here's my car before my coilovers:

^^^ 16x6.5, ET40 is a great fitment with 205/50/16/'s on stock suspension or with a mild drop.

Damnnn, they do look good! If anything, I want to paint it black and that seems easy enough. I'm gonna have a look on eBay and see if they pop up. Thanks!

Edit: I found some nice 16"/7" wheels with two offset options, +35 and +40. Would either be a good fitment with 205/50/16 tyres?
