13's....Anyone on NCP91?

[Penguin Garage]

Anyone running 13's on a Yaris?

I still need to get around to doing the measurements, but figured I'd see if anyone was running them.

NCP91 specifically, all though if someone has them on a newer Sedan that would be helpful too.

:smile:

[Loren]

The 13" alloys from my Tercel didn't clear the front brake calipers. Other wheels might, I think I've heard of some success running 13's.

yeah, i searched and found a few threads.

I'm looking at doing a 13x10 with a 255, so they'd be a custom wheel.

it looks like it "may" be possible though.

I'll have to take the measurements and see if they'll work with some custom wheels. :smile:

that new 255/40/13 hoosier is AWESOME. :w00t:

i guess the other question is, will a 255 be able to turn at all in the little yaris fender well....

i probably wouldn't need 255 in the rear...hmm, just thinking out loud.

the question is.....will I rub? :wink:

-Drew

[Tamago]

as long as the offset is +43 it doesn't matter HOW WIDE the wheel is. you won't rub with a +43!!!!!!oneoneone11111eleventy!!!!!!11!!1!1

[Penguin Garage]

well the Silkroads would have issues with a 10" wheel and a high offset so i'll have to do some math there.

leaning towards getting some stiffer springs front and rear to stiffen everything up.

the 255 is significantly shorter than stock so i'll have extra tire/fender clearance.

guess I just need to order one and see if the wheel turns.....:D

[Tamago]

if not, it'll make a cool foot-stool in your house :D

[kngrsll]

we tried a 13x8 miata wheel at Roebling last time i was there and it didnt fit. no idea about brand or specs, but it was a pretty low offset too.

where did it touch the caliper? at the "front" or because of the diameter?

so it looks like it really depends on the wheel.

i think it hit on the caliper.

yes, but where on the caliper is what i'm asking, front or "outer diameter" ?

the Work Wheels don't come in 13's at least the readily available ones.

There were a few custom companies I was looking at, gotta find them again.

i think those are 15's in the pic. but mojoyaris lists 13's in his garage.

Yeah , thats the only thing keeping me from "down-sizing" my 18's kill acceleration and braking but handle really good . With 7.5" lenso's I could run wider tires than I am now. Imo the mojoyaris's car looks really good with the 13's and the c-one kit :thumbup:

[Gideon]

I'm trying to find a good street/track tire in 13 for these rims, but so far the R888's are all I've seen, and I don't want to be replacing tires every 3,000 miles. :\

I wish I had some Miata friends to test fit some 15x8 6UL wheels instead. :laugh:

so buy a set of race tires and put them on the 13's. use the 13's only on race day. sounds like a good compromise to me :iono:

there aren't alot of BBS in 13's that are 4 bolt, but i'm going to look into it.

Once i get the measurements for the yaris brakes i'll be able to send out the info to the wheel companies and see who can meet the needs.

there are a few other custom wheel companies that make smaller wheels.

15x7's?

We've already got 15x7s, you got us beat on price though. :bellyroll: :pwnd:

13x9s with some 255s would be perfect!

i guess i could pinch the 255 on an 13x8.5....it is a hoosier.

the 13x8.5 comes in gobs of offsets.

how about some SSR's

they were ruled out awhile ago due to the too low offsets and minimal brake caliper clearance.

I closed the thread with the wheels, i wanna say they were the ones you mentioned before. Kaizers 13x9 5" backspacing with a 1/4" spacer up front.

I'm leaning towards doing a 13x8.5 all around with a 15mm offset and going 255 front and 225 rear.

the 255 is pretty square on the 8.5" b/c of the bead.

then again, i could get 13x9 up front and 13x8.5 rear.

guess we'll just have to wait and see.

considering the overall weight vs grip of a 255 up front and 225 rear (hoosier) honestly i don't see the need for an overkill wide wheel, especially if it affects your turning circle and destroys your scrub radius.

that would only be "the vw thing" if the guy had a 185 stretched on there.

THAT is a RACE CAR. not typical "VW" (and in FSP.. i bet he mops up!)

I hear ya.

13x8.5 is probably the best bet.

and honestly if shit hits the fan and the 255s are too wide the 225 wont be overly stretched on an 8.5" wheel.

225 R-Comps or 255 R-Comps would be awesome no doubt.

[Tamago]

i don't see you being able to out-power even a 225 unless you boosted and didn't install an LSD..

[Penguin Garage]

i don't see you being able to out-power even a 225 unless you boosted and didn't install an LSD..

good point, could just say **** it and run a 225 all around initially.

then do LSD and step up to the 255 if it fits.

[lilredrocket]

Have you decided on a wheel type yet?

[Penguin Garage]

Have you decided on a wheel type yet?

it really comes down to how much I want to spend and the measurements I get when we do the corner weighting.

I'll be sending the measurements to Compomotive, Panasport, Kodiak and Diamond wheels.

that way we'll know which versions of their wheels will work. :)

hopefully getting the car's corner weight, fender well and rear bumper and fender mods (so we can go lower), and a fresh alignment done in the next few weeks.

:)
