Which rim offset would you pick??? - Toyota Yaris Forums

fuji · 03-15-2009, 01:43 AM

I am looking for a lightweight 15" rim. There are a few choices and I am trying to decide which would work best for me.

I use 195/55/15 Michelin Exaltos

Would you guys choose +35,37,41, or 42?????

The Enkei RPF1 are the most reasonable $200 and about 9.5lb!

Thanks in advance

How wide? +42 is good for a 7" width.

Cool, the 42+ offset wheels are 15x7!

I have +42 for my 16x7" ssrs. Could use a 10mm spacer in the rear, but no biggie.

With ET42, you're safer up front to run 205mm tyres in the future.

With the 195/55/15 ties, will a +35 be a problem with rubbing in the front???

Would you like to tell us something about your suspension set-up first?

I am using NF210 spring in front - mild 1.1" drop

I wouldn't go lower than ET37 (up front) with a 195mm tyre.

If you're not into rotating, you could stagger the offsets for a better fitment. It's a very common practice in Japan.
