Anyone have pics of their car running 205/60/15s?

Thinking about some Sumitomo 205/16/15s for my car (tires are about shot), but I'm wanting to see what the wider tires look like on a Yaris first. From all I've read 205s shouldn't rub with stock suspension.

On what wheels? I can't remember what you are running. Almost anything will rub somewhere if the offset is wrong.

I ran 205/50R15's over the summer on Tokico blues and Tien s-techs without issues. I think 60's may be too tall to fit (24.7").

If it helps I run 205/50r15 RA1s on my stock height 09 with 42mm offset on 15x6.5" rims. No rubbing and I would say 42mm is about right for the offset. I'd say 50s are a little too short for stock height for looking pretty, but the width looks nice.

Cheers.

PS: I'd forgotten what my car looks like when it's clean....

Closest I have is 195/60 15's with stock suspension on 7 inch wheels... :smile:

Yuck, Sumitomo tires. I work for that company and I wont even buy them! lol. I recommend a different brand :x

A coworker runs 205/50R16 (24.1") on stock suspension without issues, but that's not quite what you're asking about, either.

Sumitomo makes a couple of GREAT tires; I run them on my Datsun Roadster and they are really grippy and reasonably priced.

[Captain Slow]

Agreed, I've used Sumitomos on my Lancer Ralliart and after broken in well they were great tires.

Why specifically?

I run 205s on the front but theyre 40/17s no rubbing on fenders for me the only issue on mine is the height

[mr_miles]

Both sets Sumi's I've had sucked in rain.....when it was hot out they were excellent, though. But, I've only had two sets, and they were the cheapest ones I could find, so I guess it's I get what I pay for, lol. I'm also upset with my work, so pay no mind to me bashing who pays my bills :p













They wont even give me a discount on them......Lame. I guess it's because I work in the electric side of the corporation, though.

I didnt know that was the same company lol

Nankang ns2s did extremely well wet/dry for me and i had them in goddamn 165/45/16 lmao not to mention they are super cheap

[Captain Slow]

I was REALLY tempted by the Nankangs...but saw some pretty aweful reviews. I could have gotten a set of those in 205s for cheaper than I ended up getting my 195/55/15 Hankook Ventus V2 concepts.

Oh well, the Ventus are supposed to be really good and supposedly Hankooks have awesome treadlife.
