Going to get my new wheels soon and set my mind on these:

Just want to know if you think there will be any issues, im running 16" wheels now with ET42, the car is lowered about 30mm on tte springs but will be getting coilovers, the rotas are the nearest looking wheel i can find over here to the Works Emotion CR Kai that you have in the states.

Help and sugestions welcome, oh and my yaris is a 2010 shape

I don't see why there should be a problem with that. You might get a little rubbing at full lock depending on what size tires you get and how low you go (but you shouldn't have any fender clearance issues).

You should be good to go. If you go low enough, then you might experience the full-lock rubbing I mentioned earlier.

Probably wont go mega low as its a pain when getting over speed humps around my place, forgot to mention do you think they will sit flush with the rear arch as the ones i have on now sit inwards a little bit hence choosing et45, thanks for the replys

Higher the offset number, the more sunk into the fender well the rims will be, so those +45 will be more inward than flush.

ahh thought it was the other way round, i'll see if they do a +40 or +42 in them, failing that ill use spacers, cheers
