hard to find anything that's NOT 38 or 40 offset... will these fit without rubbing? - Toyota Yaris Forums

tonyg · 03-18-2009, 02:52 AM

pretty much %99 of the wheels out there are 40 or 38 offset and i want to run a 205 tire without rubbing. Finding a good selection of 15" and 16" wheels in a 45 offset is impossible

Rota Circuit 8
15 x 6.5
+38 offset

*lowered on Eibach pro kit*

any rubbing?
should i go with 205/55/15 or 205/50/15

kngrsll · 03-18-2009, 05:27 PM

those should easily fit... i prefer 205/50/15, or a 195/55/15. my car runs a 205/50/15 front.

tonyg · 03-18-2009, 05:37 PM

+38 on a 6.5 inch wheel is like running a +44 on a 7 inch wheel.... for outside clearance

you will have no problems at all

I've got 205/50/15 with a 38 offset. Very minimal rubbing. Only on extreme dips.

yeah, but isnt the tire width what really matters? wont a 195 be pretty much the same on a 6.5" as on a 7"? at least close?

Stick with the 6.5 width and the 38 - 40 offset will work great with a 205 50 15.

why dont you just buy the
15 x 6.5 4 x 100 +45
fitment?

or if you want to do 16"s?
16 x 7 4 x 100 +40

and for the 17"s which I think look the nicest:
17 x 7.5 4 x 100 +45

Just buy the 195mm-wide tires and you shouldn't have any issues.

I've had 16s and 15s on the car, both with 205mm-wide tires and both rubbed. Switching to a 195 solved the rubbing problem. I'm pretty low, and rubbing was pretty pronounced with the 205s.
