trd lowering kit and rim sizes - YOUR EXPERIENCE

[aspro]

Hey boys and girls. I`m new to this forum. I have a white 2011 5 door, 5 spd Yaris RS with a few mods. TRD lowering kit, TRD short shift kit, TRD cat back exhaust, trd strut brace and Toyota jdm centre console.

I`m ready to put some rims on the car and want to go up to a 16`` rim. Can anyone with the trd lowering kit comment on their experience running 16`s? any rubbing, best size to run for offset and pictures would be awesome as well! and if you aren`t running 16`s, what are you running and please comment on that too! Thanks in advanced for you help guys.

p.s this is a daily driver, so i can`t be too wicked with the offset and sizing!

perfect. ride almost like the stock... although i like to go atleast half an inch lower..

With a TRD lowering kit, 16x7 with an offset ranging from +32 to +42, wrapped in 195/50 rubber would suit a daily driver perfectly. This is what I ran for a few years. My rims were actually +42 with a 10mm spacer in the rear.

Now sit and wait for the countless other opinions.

Check my garage. Pics show 205/16 on RPF1's. Plenty of space left with the installed TRD Sportivo package.

Both your rides look sick! Thanks for the pics. Anyone know a good place in the Toronto or GTA area to get a good price on rims and rubber? Also looking to throw a set of winter rubber on the stockers at the same time. Want to get a rims similar to this (click on link)

No. To tell you the truth, I don't think I really know of anyone who has purchased good quality wheels at a reasonable price from a Canadian source. Everyone either gets their stuff through US based online retailers, or Kijiji. If you are very vigilant with Kijiji some amazing deals can be had.

[1.5]

Yeah Ive noticed you have to be patient as the deals are few and far between on that the ebay classifides.

I've got pix of a 15" rim with a 205/55 tire on TRDs....similar overall tire height as the 205/50/16. LMK and I'll post up..

[aspro]

Got the rims and tires. Motegi mr125 16X7 with 40 offset. Love the ride, car feels slightly peppier - maybe because they weigh significantly less? I have some before and after photo`s in my garage. Check them out and let me know what you think. Thanks for all your help.

roof rack crew hollaaaaa

Those wheels look great btw

[WeeYari]

Take another pic that dosen't have the wheels sitting in shadow. Get some sun shining on those bad boys.

Where did you end up getting them from?

[aspro]

superior Tire on Allen rd. north of Wilson in Toronto. Got them installed with a set of `decent`rubber for $1,200 taxes in.

[aspro]

The pictures are ok, Just the forum wont take a picture bigger than 600x600 pixels so I had to edit the photo to work... Anyway around this?

[WeeYari]

Upload to something like imageshack or photobucket. Then link to pic in your post. Nothing can be done about size with a direct embed in your post.

BTW, pics are not OK. Your subject is in the shadows. We cannot appreciate the true colour or finish on those.

[aspro]

Alright, alright. I'll polish this bitch up, grab the dsl, snap some flashy pics, imageshack it and repost.

What do you guys think about lotek springs 1.9" drop with motegi mr121 17x7? What Tyre size? 205/50/17? Or wall height of 45 or 55?

[1.5]

never heard of the springs but what is your offset? That will help us with rubbing. I would advise against such a large sidewall for 17s.

[Fidelio]

+40 OFFSET
