change rims from 15" to 17" on yaris HB

[yarismo]

hey everybody, I want to change my original tires and rims to larger and bigger ones (15" to 17"), so I am asking if it will fits my yaris HB and whether any changes must be done on the car or not ? also, do 17" wheels limit the suspension to reach its max ?
wainting for your answers..thnx :respekt:

You'll be fine as long as you get the correct tire size/rim offset. It will raise your car so you may want to look into lowering it, but not a requirement.

Actually, with proper tyre sizing, the car will not ride (significantly) higher/lower than with the stock 15's.

OEM tyre size for 17's is 205/45/17. For best fitment, find a wheel with +42mm or higher offset.

You're right Kimona, I suppose I should have said "may appear" higher. But it's definitely not necessary to lower your car, so try out some 17's and then decide!

To the OP, there is a ton of info and 100's of pics in the "pics of yaris w/ aftermarket wheels" thread and the "wheel and tire guide" thread.
