[Tamago]

most likely rub, depending on your offset

[Arkhangel]

[Tamago]

wow, $350 shipped for 4 new 17" wheels?

hmmmmmmmmmmmm (where's Russel teh Pirate???)

[Arkhangel]

so you think 215 will rub?

[Tamago]

so you think 215 will rub?


:iono:

[Arkhangel]

im thinking of 215 cuz i like the wider tire

[kimona]

215/45/17's on stock suspension should work okay, but you may get a little rub up front lock to lock. Problem is, they'll poke out up front on ET40 and won't look like a proper fitment. I'd stick with OEM size 205/45/17.

[Arkhangel]

ET40??

[kimona]

You indicated an offset of +40mm.

[Arkhangel]

Gotcha ;)

[Split]

the higher the offset the less chance of rubbing. +43mm is the minimum offset to run in these cars to prevent rubbing lock-to-lock, over bumps, or on lowered suspension. I'm on a quest the find the lightest wheels that are +43mm or higher in 16x7.

the higher the offset, the more chance of rubbing "inboard" don't go overboard with your search for "high" offset wheels.

and in the grand scheme of things, does 3mm really make THAT much difference?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I have 17x7" with an offset of +40, and 205/40/17 tires. I'm lowered on S.Tech springs, and get minimal rub on freeway dips. I don't get lock-to-lock rub tho, which is strange, but I'm not complaining.

OEM offset is +51. OEM tyre size is 195/50/16.

With 205/50/16 rubber, you can generally run +42 safely with no up-front poke and no rubbing.

With 195/50/16, you're generally safe with +38.



To answer Tamago's question: Yes, a couple of mm's makes a significant difference on these cars.

[marcus]

what about 205/50/16 +40...trd dropped...

[firemachine69]

I can't see 215-45-17 fitting... That's way-oversized for the Yaris!

[kimona]

OEM 17" tyres: 205/45/17 = 24.3"

215/45/17 = 24.6" (At just 1.6% taller than OEM fitment, this is well within the recommended 3% tolerance).

what are these OEM 17" tires u ppl talking about??

[firemachine69]

I'd go by what the base has, as I sincerely doubt they change the ECU when you upgrade to the larger rim package. They're likely using an over-inflated size to begin with...

You are correct, but all of which you have posted is really dependant on the wheel width, which you have not listed.

Also, OEM 16's don't exist, 15's or 17's only. What is the width of the +51 offset OEM wheel? I'm guessing 5.5 or 6 inches for the 15's and 6.5 for the 17's???

[PetersRedYaris]

European Yaris TS factory wheels...

These are the OEM wheel sizes, offsets, and tyre sizes:

14x5, ET45, 175/65/14

15x5.5, ET45, 185/60/15

16x6, ET51, 195/50/16

17x6.5, ET51, 205/45/17

TRD Option 18x7.5, ET42, 215/35/18

[yxmach]

Is 17X7, +42, 205/45 will give any problems with stock suspension?

[kimona]

Very good fitment with little to no chance of rubbing on stock suspension.

[bxrich]

what about 17x7.5 4x100 42 offset on 215/40-17 is this a good size on stock struts & trd springs

[yxmach]

Thanks kimona....

[yxmach]

If i lower the ride via NF210, will it rub?

Nice wheels except for the multi holes...But i really dont like wheels that you can see the lug nuts anyway...

[RHDVIPbB]

Have a set of Enkei PK6 rims from a friends xB. I was using them to test fit on my sedan. He has 215/45/17 tires and they didn't rub on my Yaris. The rims are 40 offset. Didn't get to drive too far, but I didn't hear any rubbing and even checked my inner fender liner and saw no damage.

[PHXDEMON]

I have the same size tires and I rub lowered on Tanabe df210s.

[ad23]

I am on 215/40/17 and it will not rub ... not sure about 45 though ...

[Marthos]

Running 17x7 ET42 w/ 215/45/17 stock suspension, have done a lock to lock figure eight, no rubbing!!
