Wheel, tire, offset, and lowering spring advice.

[PDFileKyle]

I just bought some 15x7 wheels with a 42mm offset.
I decided to go with some 195/60/15's, and then had the bright idea to order the Megan Springs.

The reason for this post:
(I'll admit it now) I have no idea what I'm doing. haha I've been researching the forums relentlessly and thought I had it figured out, but I still have questions.
Will this set up rub? Will I have problems with install?

Also, will my wheels stick out or sit in too far with this offset? I want it to be fairly flush, or stick out to a minor degree.

Wheels will sit in the fenders.
It won't rub. You're pretty safe.

^ HAHA

like sugi said you should be fine that is a pretty sunken in wheel still

Man you won't rub and you won't bottom out. I'm on stock shocks and custom springs also bought Megan racing springs that I am Gunna put on later. Any way I'm throwing 16 deeps on the front and 17 deeps on the back and won't rub. Slammmmmmmmmmmmm it hahaha. I'm 4 and a half inches from stock and going lower so Dont trip you got clearence. The Megan strings give you only a 1 and a half in drop and you got the same size rims plenty of clearance.

thanks for the info guys.
any tips on making the wheels sit flush with the fenders?
ie, which spacers should I invest in?

These work best and don't harm your wheel bearings like regular spacers do...

Is it common to go 10 front, 13 rear?
I've read (and seen) that the rear wheels are further inset than the fronts, and I want to have that balanced look.

[InfamousDragon]

I don't know about spacers for that cause I do wide body or stock no spacers. But yea good luck

The penguins are great, super easy install, but only work in the rear. You have to use a wheel spacer up front.

Go for 13mm in the back, I did 10, with a 38 offset wheel and wish I'd gone the extra 3.

[PDFileKyle]

if it's needed, what would be recommended for the front?
I've seen bad things happen with the Ichiba's, so I'm hesitant there.

it all depends on your car. Not all Yaris' are aligned the same over the frame.

You won't need spacers on the front, the rear you will. I added the penguins in the rear. Its not flush but its better.

This is with same width rims and tein s springs
