205/50/15 tires on the S sedan 15" standard alloys??? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Quick question.

I've been reading about how bigger wheels can negatively affect my little Yar performance... So I wonder if 205/50/15 tires can fit on the OEM 15" alloys??

Is anyone running such configuration? Obviously this will require a lowering spring set to get rid of the huge space between the tire and the fender.

I just want a better handling without sacrificing any performance...

Let me know your thoughts

I am running a 225-50 15 on a 7 inch wide wheel.... stock wheel are 185-60 15 on 5.5 wheels.... if you are not going to change your wheels, and you want to go to a wider tire I would go to a 205-55-15 to achive the width you want with out making the tire look too funny

With a set of DF's springs shouldn't look funny

put the DF's on then you will be back to the stock wheel well gap and tire that is going to throw your speedo and odometer off a fair amount... dont sound like you would acomplish much by doing this
