Hi Guys,

I wanted to make my stance stand outand got these rims: http://www.hd-inc.com/09-goldrsb.html they are 15x7.5 , so I got some winter wheels to go with them P195/55r/15, they look nice but the kinda rub??!!

I have Tanabe lowering springs as I was using stock P185/60R15 wheels.

I have reasearched that our Yaris's can take the P195/55r/15 but the rims are .5" sticking out.

What I have found out the hard way is when I have a load on the rear the rubber will grind the bottom, when I make a 35 degree turn it just barly grinds them.

What can I do? I like the rims a lot and paid $400 for them and $500 more for the tires "Dunlop" and install and aligment. Anyone recommend some tires for me?

Nope.

With those wheels, you're basically screwed. Only thing I can recommend is going back to stock springs for the winter.

Improper wheel offset. Those wheels are available in ET0 and ET35. Looks like you're running ET0. Should have gone with ET35 and then you could probably have squeaked by with 185's.

What you have now is a very bad fitment. What's the solution? 1. Sell the package. 2. Sell the wheels and keep the tyres for the proper fitting wheel size. 3. Raise the car and run stock for the winter, even though they look like shite.
