So I know this is a much debated topic and I have searched and Ive seen people running some low offset on their yarii, ive also seen a lot of people flame it. I am trying to get on more of an agreement. Im trying to pick up a set of xxr 002 wheels in 15x8 +0. I want to know will they fit. Some say there will be rubbing issues and others say its fine. Im fine with a tiny bit of rubbing at full turn because I rarely do that on the street and I plan on setting my camber to negative once I finish my suspension. Im going to be putting tein s-techs on with tokico blues so the drop will be around 2 in.

Im going for the flush look and I just want to know is 15x8 +0 doable or will it not fit?

I'm on 15x7 xxr 513 : tein s tech : 185 55 15 tires and the rubbing wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I imagine that when I get Canbered there will be no rubbing.

If I had to guess, I'd say you could pull it off with some camber and rolled fenders still with SOME rubbing.

Might be annoying, but it sure would look pretty.

I think it would also depend on the tire size you run.

im gonna run something thin and really skinny for a stretched look.

If you have the $$$ and time to expirement go for it man! It would look really nice.

The one thing that I want to point out is that even though you have the s techs, a really short sidewall on 15s might leave you with a not-so-hot wheel gap. I have a little more space than I would like ideally on mine bit can't afford coilover so I'm just going to have to suck it up till I can afford some.... Just a little food for thought ;)

anyways, I'm excited to see whatever you end up doing.

no matter how perfect your offset is, you will not sit flush on stechs purely because they dont go low enough

i just installed a set on my sedan hoping to cut my wheel gap to nothing but i still have a little over a one finger gap. flush is pretty much no wheel gap so im prob gonna end up switching out my suspension again to coilovers to go lower.

the stechs are way lower than the trds i just had but still not low enough for my taste

You will sit flush, but rubbing will be inevitable if you want the flush look.
As for tires - if you run 195/45/15 which is the lowest profile you can get, it will poke a little.
You can stretch 175/50/15 or 165/50/15, but I wouldn't recommend 165, since its width is less than stock.

03-17-2010, 03:23 AM
I feel like the s-techs would be perfect cuz it will look almost flush but I wont be too low to worry about hard rubbing.

yarisugi
03-17-2010, 03:32 AM
a wheel with 15x8 +0 offset will poke in the front, poke in the back.
If you look at BrazdonW's car, he has 15x7 +15 and his wheels are pretty flush to the fenders. His pics are in this link (http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22534)
So if you go 15x8 +0, it will sit outside the fenders.

^^^ perfect thats exactly what I want.

AdeJong 03

im running a 16x7 +38 front and +28 rear (because of pg 10mm spacers)

these pics are with stechs- the wheel gap is actually more noticeable in person.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f240/AlbertTI/DSC04302-1.jpg

if you run coilovers you can sit more flush and just increase spring rate- your suspension will travel less and chance of rubbing will be lower (due to stiffer suspension)

15X8 +20 with a 225 50 15 barely fits inside the front fender.

15X8 +7 in rear pokes a LOT, with 225 50 15.

coffiend
03-17-2010, 10:40 AM
If I'm not mistaken, brazdon is on stock rubber, meaning 185/60/15 and s techs.

The taller tire is why his wheel gap is minimal.

I want there to be a tiny bit of space I feel like that would alleviate most of the rubbing I would get during street driving. and Im not planning on going with a 225 tire im gonna stretch on something thinner and I am gonna put something low profile so that should also help. I think between the skinny/thin tires and the small gap left with the s-techs I should eliminate almost any rubbing.

Stay close to stock height(185/60,195/55,205/55) as possible. When you have short tires, you end up having a big gap. If you want to drop your car more to fill in the gaps, you will rub and scrape everywhere. Besides, the Yaris has a high roof and doesn't look too good with little tiny wheels and tires. Too low is good for show, but it's wack if you ain't driving on smooth roads or the track!(Jessie Jackson speaking about lowered cars)

As far as wheels, you shouldn't go wider than 7''(15x7,16x7,17x7) with a 38 offset(38-45). You will still need to add adjustable camber bolts to the front to tuck them in and to keep from busting up your fenders(anything from 38-41 will need camber). If you have spacers in the rear, I suggest you add the washers to get negative camber, or just take them off.

Stick to what works. That way, you don't have to keep changing things out and wasting time and money. You wanted a second opinion, and you got one. Good luck!

there are dozens of members here running +30mm offsets here, with no fender problems. don't regurgitate internet knowledge..

i just mentioned im running a +28 rear

the difference is i just shaved my rear fender- but now because of that i think i am actually capable of running a 22-25 on a 7 inch wide wheel with the appropriate sized tire. I am trying at the moment to work out a deal for some work emotions so if I do I am going to ask my tire guy to let me try on different tires and use spacers to see how aggressive i can afford to sit.

I want my tires to be flush but stretched tires arent my thing so im hoping I can run a 205/45 or 215/45 on these new 17x7s and have perfect fitment

OP already stated that he WANTED to expirement.

That's half the fun, right? Making something work that is out of the ordinary. I know oi would want to settle on something that I didn't really like because it was the easy way out....

03-17-2010, 05:45 PM
Like that guy with the blue Yaris with the Racing Dynamics and the 13mm hub spacers? He nearly took off his front fender doing autocross. I think he was running 30 offset wheels.

As far as what I know, it's based on "experimenting" and not having a good time fixing it(i.e tires,wheels,camber). Been there,done that!
Alot of people will disregard what someone says, because they don't want to hear no. I don't know which other way to say it.

If you want to spend time and money changing out tires and wheels,adjusting camber,changing out shocks and springs, pulling and rolling fenders,stretching out tires to fit on wheels they're not designed for, then go for it!


No one is trying to rain on anyone's parade. If people are so sure about it, then they shouldn't ask questions. If you get told it's a pita, believe it.If they say it's easy, don't believe it.

03-17-2010, 07:56 PM
its not that hard to experiment

you just need a combination of spacers, a tire guy who will let you test fit some tires, and a jack and jackstand

this is how the hellaflush guys do it all the time. if you want to see how a wheel will fit your car then just jack the wheel into the fender and see what the tire hits

judging by how my wheels are fitting currently, it looks like you can make the wheel perfectly flush with the body on with a x7 +35 in the front and +25 in the rear (im talking about adding 10mm spacers without camber shims). tire rub is a different story. im just talking about proper wheel fitment. if you want to poke/ stretch- please do experiment and post results.
- and dont quote me on this. im still experimenting as well

the emotions i am trying to get are +42 but i am going to attempt a 10mm spacer in the front and 18-20mm in the rear. ill post results once i get there but i do plan to completely shave the excess metal off my fenders

i am also going to do the rear suspension mod to reduce my toe angle around the same time. this is all dependent on whether or not i get the wheels obviously but we shall see. i may just attempt to run an extra 5mm spacer on the team dynamics i have currently to see what kind of fitment i could achieve with a +33 front and +23 rear

03-17-2010, 08:05 PM
Anyways, I'm running +37 up front with +24 in the rear (PG 13mm spacers), 15x7 with 195/55/15 tires on DF springs. It rubs occasionally in the rear when loaded down and I hit a bump too fast. Aside from that everything is good.

I'll try to get photos but i don't really care enough to take the time to do it.

rolled or cut fenders?

aeipee13
03-17-2010, 08:23 PM
nope. It's almost perfect, the rear fender barely hits the side wall of the tire. I'm running Dunlop Direzza Z1 star spec. If i had better than the crap DF spring rate i'd probably be fine as is. I could take a bat to the fender or just let nature take it's course and let the tire do the job.

I think your "experimental" fitment would be the perfect fit.

thanks guys for your input and Im not trying to blow money but I believe where there's a will there's a way lol. I wana poke out and I want a deep wheel thats why Im looking at +offset and 8in wheels. I want to experiment and I want to be different.

yeah. i think that's just over the "limit" of what a stock wheel well can handle.

AdeJong 03
03-18-2010, 08:37 AM
yeah. i think that's just over the "limit" of what a stock wheel well can handle.

depends on the tire, suspension and what you do the the fenders

if you think about it, a x8 +15 is the equivalent of a x7 +2 or +3

you will most certainly poke the wheels out though if thats what youre looking for

03-18-2010, 11:07 AM
once i get my car back to the states (in about a month or two) im going to be test fitting some 15x8 +6 offsets in the front. also im going to be trying to fit 15x10 +0 offsets in the rear. i highly doubt the rears will fit, but im going for the aggressive stance so we'll see. heres pics of the car theyre coming off of and the exact wheels they are. im also getting tein coilovers and possibly camber to make it all fit. i'll definitely post pics and info when we work on it.

you guys are crazy.. you want to be running the HIGHEST offset possible because that's what this car is set-up for. If you're doing a 15x8, you'll want at least a +40 offset. if you run a high enough offset, you might even be able to get away with running a 225 width tire.. like a 225/45R15. Or if you want that stretched look you can run a 215/50R15. <- that's about as far as you can safely stretch onto a 15x8.

Adejong's "fitment" of 15X7 +35 front and +25 rear is perfect if you don't want to roll fenders. I run 15X7 +37 front, +24 rear without rolled fenders. If the my fronts were +35 it would be better looking. If the rear were +25 i don't think i would rub when i hit bumps.

bottom line...

do what you have to do. 0 offset on an 8" wheel is gonna poke.

20 offset with 8" is gonna poke with a "proper" sized tire.

you're out to build a showqueen with stretched tires. why are you even on yarisworld asking questions? go to herra-frush dot cawm. stretch it, poke it, make it look stupiid, rub, ruin tires, all in the name of being herrafrush. .. . .


if you're sensible though, stick to 7" wide wheels and nothing lower than a 20 offset out back and 30 offset up front. enjoy being able to turn your car without destroying your fenders.

j, what width are your wheels and do you have any kind of rubbing in the front? also what costs did you have to endure to fit that setup?

jekqmb
03-23-2010, 01:02 AM
They are 15x8...Yes they all rub pretty bad, i cant have more then 1 other person in the car. If i do its rubs like crazy. I have already blown out 2 tires in the rear...Its worth it cause it looks so good. I had to buy front and rear adapters, i had custom shims made for the rear. I messed my passenger fender up pretty good from blowing a tire out and the wheel smacking it. It costs more to make the wheels fit then what my wheels actually cost me. I can only set the car down fully when its not being driven, i usually roll on a 2.25" drop for daily use. To be honest if you got the money to play then buy some 15x8's or 15x9's with a nice offset...If you dont want to rub, scrap, and buy tires alot then i would go with some 7" wide wheels, oh and the car doesnt handle too well either anymore. But it is pricey, i kind of regret going this route, but the compliments are well worth all the pain i have seen my car go through ;)

Its due to the negative camber in the rear being at -3 and tire size, i need 195/45/15's stretched on and that should help alot, yes my coilovers are set to max, the thing bounces like crazy and rides rough, people hate riding in my car. But i love it

your drop is so low too i would be on s-techs for a 1.8 which will aleviate a lot or rubbing i think

You should be ok then, the hardest part for you would be picking what width and offset you want :thumbup:

we are and we keep talking about different things to factor in when deciding if 15x8 is right for me. I might stagger and do 15x7 in front instead.

Ya you could go 15x7 in the front and 15x8 in the rear, just make sure you get the offsets right!

There you have it 1.5! The man speaks from experience, and doesn't seem too happy with the end results. It may look cool when it's parked, but drives like $#!+. If you still are stubborn and want to go for the 15x8 low offset wheels, be our guest. Don't say we didn't tell you so.:clap:

yea i mean from what i understand most of those hellaflush cars arent daily driven anyways

i daily my car- and the potholes and driveways in some areas of LA are RETARDED. I wanted to slam my car but the other day realized I wouldnt have cleared a speedbump in a parking lot that I encountered. So im happy with my set up now

by the way, im running the +28 rear 16x7 and im STILL rubbing after cutting my fenders (on hard dips)

Im gonna try to cut them more but it just goes to show that you need to put a lot of work into making wheels sit flush on these cars, and even more than that if you want to go super aggressive

I was going to try to drop to a +32 front +22 rear but i gotta say Im not too motivated at this point. The wheels fit fine already and the extra 5mm isnt worth the extra headache to me anymore, not as long as this car drives everyday

I ran 16x7 Rays Engineering wheels with a +37 offset (can't quite remember) and 205/50/16 tires dropped on Megan Coilovers. The front wheels rubbed quite a bit. The rears were fine.

I now run a +40 15x6.5 wheel with 195/55/15 tires and only rub in hard cornering while riding on S-Techs.

that's backwards.

shouldn't the drive wheels get the bigger tires?

15X8 +36 from www.949racing.com

done. no rub.

03-25-2010, 06:47 PM
As far as being backwards you're completely right it is backwards but I can fit that size wheel on the back and not have to worry about rubbing and I get to have the low offset wheel i want.

not really feeling the wheels thanks tho i have been taking everything you guys have said into consideration and have rethought everything and I am changing what im going to chose. I have pretty much decided that 15x8 +15 or lower is just too big for these cars and I dont have the patience nor time to deal with a car that needs to be in the shop every week cuz my wheels are tearing apart my car. I am currently looking at
some 15x8 +25 wheels or some 15x7 +15 wheels. I want a small wheel (most likely 15s) with a kind of low offset and a large lip that is my most sought after aspect is a wide lip with some poke. If anyone can point me in the direction of wheels that match my needs then by all means please let me know. Like I said all of your posts have been carefully read and thought about and I thank you all for your input.

if you want a lip or concave under 700 your 2 choices are going to be xxr wheels and tr motorsports

if you decide you like team dynamics pro race 1 i have a set of 16x7 fs with tires for under your budget shipped

i completely agree but i was always reluctant to refinish them because they have this awesome finish that i cant capture with a camera- depending on the way the light hits the wheel, it changes the shade of silver. kinda like a hyper silver or something.

you might be able to see what i mean in this pic

I ran 16x9 0 offset wheels on 2000 prelude, the car drove like total crap, I spent a crap load of money on tires and fender work..Also the car became 10000x more difficult to sell since the fenders were rolled/pulled (professionally I would like to add)..Stock fender cars will not only sell sooner but you will get more money for it, I have learned this the hard way on nearly all the vehicles I have sold..So far this yaris is the second car that I have left the fenders stock and actually got proper fitting wheels/ tires (feels good) If you want to go crazy on fitment I suggest selling the yaris and getting something with camber plates, or wishbones with negative A arms I.e- crx,delsol, 350z etc.. the yaris imo is a waste of time chasis to mod. It's good for getting from point A to B as cheaply, reliably and comfortably as possible. Just my 0.02

In the rear, that's going to be flush, with about 2-4mm of poke beyond the fender. The front will poke more.

My rears are 17x8, with an effective offset of +32. The fronts are an embarrassing 17x7, ET42 ='(

doing 15x7 with 185/55r15 +20 offset. im on micro image springs, will the wheel gap be any bigger than coffiends running stechs? how about rubbing

1.5
12-13-2013, 08:14 AM
Idk what his specs are but that will give your a wider stance being 7" and +20. The 185/55 will give you more wheel gap than stock since stock is most likely 185/60.

You are probably going to experience some rubbing with that setup but nothing a quick fender pull wont solve. Our plastic fenders are cake to pull by hand
