Has anybody done this?
I know it's done on RWD cars but never seen it on a FWD.
Pictures?

umm goofy??

maybe going with one inch difference...and not such a large gap on sidewall difference. like a 205 50 16 and a 215 45 17 or something...

Too short of a car, and too ugly.

Just for shits and giggles to see what it would look like.
You're right a 1'' combo would be better.
Or not?

Quick google search but I'm not sure if they are actually different size rims.

Only one problem. That's not a Yaris. I think the outcome would be completely different on Yaris

i think deep dish rims on the back would look sick

i say your car do what ever you want with it.. thought of it myself but cost to get 2 different set of rims and tire rotation issues.. more for look definetely not for performance but best of luck..

i did 15's front 16's rear last year when i had to lend out one of my rear wheels to echo_hrs. long story short, he cut a tire during a lapping day and a donut doesnt fit over the rear disc brake conversion.

rather than run a donut for until i met w/ him to get my regular wheel back, i had a set of 16" konig feathers (gold) w/ 2 good tires. i ran 15" black rpf1's up front and 16" gold feathers in the back for about 2 weeks, iirc.

no issues w/ the handling, just that the tires on the abck were almost-toast pirrelli's vs my almost-new proxes4's on the front

the look was interesting...no pics however

Plus the different sized tires might play hell for those with ABS unless you could get the overall tire height to match front to rear.

thats a 2 inch difference it will look bad unless you wanna do a RWD conversion then ok. Its better to just different rim size with.
