I've got a 3 door hatch with TRD springs and shocks and am interested in fitting the stock steel wheels with a set of 205/55-15 tires once the OEM Bridgestones are history.

Does anyone know FOR CERTAIN if those tires will fit without creating any clearance issues?

(I am not interested in purchasing aftermarket alloys for this car, so please don't make any recommendations in that area.)

No worries with mild TRD drop and stock steel wheels w/205/55/15's.

Excellent.

Thanks for the info...

I'll be buying that size tire as soon as the OEM rubber is history.

I remain amazed at how nice this little car is and I've has several "serious rides." Sometimes a car can be more than the sum of its parts and my TRD equipped Yaris most certainly is. :eyebulge:

You should be ok as long as you don't slam the car too low.

With the mild TRD drop, you may be okay, and any rubbing will probably be minor.

However, 205mm rubber on 7" wheels, ET40, with a drop is generally not a good combination (up front) and rubbing becomes a bit of a problem.
