they are 15X7, offset +38, 4X100 bolt pattern. the seller says the hub is 56mm with the insert ring in place and 67mm without it. (i'm clueless about this)

Will these fit the yaris ok?

Those would be fine. +38 is about the limit of offset to avoid rubbing. 56mm hub centric rings are OK, as 54.1mm ones (which is the correct size for the Yaris) are very difficult to find.

Hub centric rings don't really matter since we use tapered lug nuts. I wouldn't go over 205/50R15 tires if you're on stock suspension, 195/55 if you're lowered. Source: fender rub on hard corners with 15x7, 205/50R15 and MI springs. Putting in the -1.5° camber/crash bolts resolved the rubbing but caused significant inside edge wear on the tires.

Also, take some time to look at the "official tires thread" to get an idea of sizes that can work, or go to rimsntires.com and check the size comparison tool. Lots of good info to be found on that site.

ok im lowered and my car is in the shop at the moment but i have been slacking on fixing my rubbing issue. im on r17/40/205. is the rubbing on the inside or outside? basically im asking if wheel spacers would fix this. also a side note, why are they called crash bolts?

I suppose I should clarify: my racing tires are BFG Rivals (205/50R15 on 15x7) and under HARD cornering I was getting a tiny amount of fender rub on the outside shoulder. There is also some frame rub in full lock turns, but those are only ever at parking lot speeds. My street tires are Direzza DZ101s (205/50R15 on 15x5.5) and I've never had any rubbing issues. I can't say for certain if it's the wheels or the tires that are the cause, but the race tires are almost an inch wider at the tread. I would avoid wheel spacers unless you confirm that you have the fender clearance for them and you're hitting either the suspension or the frame.

As for crash bolts, :iono:

I can get the rings in either 67.1, 72.6, 73 or 74mm to 54.1. They are 2$ each + ship if you want to stock up.
