Vegas Black Liftback

[jdmkenji]

Just got the car about 2 weeks now... can't keep it stock!

Black Yaris Liftback with Tanabe NF springs + 15x7 +40 195/55/15

I was going for a more conservative look and drivability... although i do wish it was lower or that i would've picked a larger tire to feel that gap more. I also have a drag dr20 gold/polished lip 15x7.5 +38 that's just sitting around but the wifey convinced me this was a better look. will post a more flattering photo after a car wash. Thanks to the DIY spring install on the forum too.

here's a front photo... you can see the wheels upfront is flushed... the wheels in the back is a little tucked in but not bothersome. hopefully it helps future yaris owners on deciding the tire + wheel combo.

yeah i was supposed to get a black one from findlay dealership about 3 weeks before i got this one, but decided not to...

my car was literally dying on me which forced me to get the cheapest new car i could find! and it just so happens that they were receiving 2 yaris and one was presold... so i ended up with this one lol.

here i have a 15x7 wheel with a 225/50 look much nicer, and much closer to the original diameter of the stock tire. Plus she handles like a dream... here are a couple pix

i definitely would've preferred to stick closer to original tire size, but all is good... i like this look.
hopefully this adds to the other 2door liftbacks outthere. i just see alot of 4doors.

BTW... 225/50R15 is much closer to the original diameter than 195/55R15's I will give you exact dimentions once I get back to work on Thurs.... and those black wheels look sick on your Yaris!!!!... I had planned on getting mine sprayed Black over the winter when I put my stocks back on.....

Hey thanks... btw, Here's a calculator that will probably help everyone here in the site. It shows that with my current tire setup comparing to 185/60/15 that came with the car I am going to be off +1.26% in my speedo and mileage. With your tire setup you will be off -.50%... meaning less mileage for you.

I do realize that... I was just stating my tires are closer in overall diameter than yours.... yours are shorter than stock and mine are slightly taller
here is a much more acurate calulator http://powerdog.com/tiresize.cgi
