Hey guys, i just picked up a set of Advan Sa3r~haven't put them on, wants to lower the car first~

SO i would love to ask u guys for some opinions:
they are 4x100, 15x6.5, ET42, 2009 5 door yaris
tires are 205-50-r15, falken azenis rt-615

1) if i got with df210 + tokico blue shocks~ will there be issues like rubbing?

2) Will it be too low for NorCal roads? i do have to get in my garage over a driveway but that driveway is pretty good....the roads are my fear.

3) do you think it will look good? i havent seen them on a yaris but it was too good of a deal to past up on discontinued advan rims.

4) they came with tires, but the next time i change the tires out i want to put my stock set of TPMS on them....it will fit them?

if you guys can give me some opinion and suggestion that would help thx~~

pic is the wheels in my car right after i bought them, the EG6 is a internet find but what i want my yaris to kinda look.

Toby welcome! Also yes there is a Nor Cal meet tomorrow you should join us!

Also, I run tokico blues on DF210s on 205/50/16 and rubbing is a very minimal issue. Only rubbing I've noticed is under full turn at under ~7MPH.

The roads in Nor Cal are pretty awful however so far I haven't had any problems with rubbing or bottoming out YET but that doesn't mean it can't happen. I have significantly adjusted my driving habits to account for the cars now much lower stance. I think if you're careful you'll be fine.

One small thing to note though is that I removed my rear seats so my car rides a bit higher than it would under normal load. I'm honestly not sure just how much lower someone with their rear seats would sit though on DF210s.

You can check my garage to see the car's stance and ride height.

Anyways just thought I'd give you as much feedback as possible since I have an incredibly similar setup to the once you're asking about now.

Ahh, unfortunately I have an '06 with 0 options so I don't have the TPMS. Did you try a forum search?

you should be able to use the TPMS sensors. Just stop by a tire shop and ask.

I would go with 205/55/15 to get some more tire height with those wheels. You should be ok with the DF210 springs especially if you are doing the shocks/struts too.
