suggest some wheels for my yaris!

[d3310n]

heres what its currently on, bought the car with them, hate them. show me some wheels that you guys think would look good. looking for some 15s that are narrower so they wont rub.

What about these? Im getting a real exhaust, doing the tails all red and posibly removing the lip to clean up the look of the car.

That offset won't work without some camber adjustment and some serious fender rolling.

[d3310n]

like how much camber and what exactley is fender rolling?

and is the problem in the front or the rear?

[WeeYari]

If you don't want any rub, you cannot go with an offset number any less than +38 on a 7 inch wheel. Any less than that and you'll start to experience rear fender rub on hard dips. At around +32, you'll have to start introducing moderate camber in the rear, 1.5 to 3 degrees.

Fender rolling is the act of stretching or bending the fender arches outward in order to clear low offset wheels.

[d3310n]

Ok i dont think thats nothing i cant handle. I can have agressive offset on the front and not have problems, correct?

[WeeYari]

No. Upfront you can still experience fender rub during spring compression, though it happens much more easily in the rear. Also, with aggressive offset, a rub sill start to occur at or near full lock when turning.

Full lock i dont mind. But how do the coilover guys over rubbing while cornering? I already have rubbing in the front with cornering and i have 205 s and 40 offset. Im stumped. Is our car just that rubby

I'm new on here, that was my first post. I picked up a blazing blue 07 3 dr last week as a second winter car. I just purchased the mesh x in 16 and will post some real pics once installed---about 2 weeks or so.

I have 15x7 ET20 with 185/45 tyres... even 15mm spacers in the back, no rubbing up front or in the back (only when i go through deep holes i didnt see, lol, or when people are in the back seat). Im also on BC racing coilovers at stiffest setting :)

[tooter]

ROTA RB's.

+2 on the Rotas. :thumbsup:

I don't care for any of the current wheel designs, but have always loved those wheels..

...since that design first came out in the 1950's with the Minilite Mini Cooper wheel. Here's a 1957...

oh man those rbs are somethin else. id love to go for that toyobaru yaris look, but id do everything the same, im a copycat lol.

MUST start with budget. What is it? $500? $500-1000? $1000-1500? $1500+?

oh yeah! garm! check ur PB/Email from microimage...!

I love my Konig LAce with the black lip and machined face. My husband didn't like the crown logo, so I sanded it flat and got custom decals made for the center caps that say TOYOTA in green. I'll try to snag a pic soon.

[d3310n]

500 budget, still stuck on these wheels http://www.ebay.com/itm/15-White-Kudo-Wheels-Rims-4x100-Golf-Jetta-Passat-Corolla-Esteem-Mirage-Miata-/301007625331?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Wheels&hash=item461573dc73&vxp=mtr

Have you looked through the Official Black Thread?

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27

If not, start at the last page and work backwards. Less deleted photos that way. There are actually a couple Yari pictured sporting the Rotas.

[d3310n]

thanks very useful thread. giving me some good ideas.

gammo, in your yaris stanced thread how are you lowered in the first pic? im trying to figure out if 15x7s with 175/55r15 will look ok on my micro image springs or im im going to have super wheel gap. i dont want to be super flush since i like my handling but i want the stance to be subtle. mild stretch. decent offset. mild camber.

[WeeYari]

175s would not be a 'mild stretch' on 15x7s. Better off with 185s.

[d3310n]

note taken. kept in mind that the series is 55

[WeeYari]

Here are some points that you may or may not be aware of, especially since you seem to be leaning toward a +20 offset:

- the front track is wider than the rear. Since the fronts will poke a little bit, you need to use spacers in the rear to balance out the look

- for some reason, on these cars, the rear axle beam sits to the right of center by about 10mm. To keep things even, you need to space out the left wheel 10mm more than the right. I had been running a setup with an effective offset of +32 and rubbed like a bitch on rear right. Removed a 10mm spacer from rear right and all was equal.

[G-Ammo]

In the first pic I was lowered on Eibach Pro Kit (25mm)... If you go with 175 on 15x7 you'll get quite some wheelgap... Just as WeeYari says, go with 15x7 with 185 tires just like mine... you can get a nice stance and a nice filled up too because of the 'not so stretched' tire.

If you don't really want to lower it that much, I suggest you go with 16x7 and 185 tires... I think that'll suites you best in my opinion.

[d3310n]

yeah thats what im thinkin. i really do want to make 15s work though, the lightness and cheaper tires is so appealing, i just dont think im quite low enough to pull it off :/

[d3310n]

could i cut my springs say 1/8th coil each to get a bit lower? or is that a stupid idea

[d3310n]

well 25mm is about an inch and my springs lowerer me 1.7. considering that you have a 45 seies tire and id do a 55, also with me doing a milder 185 stretch, shouldnt my gap be considerably less than yours was? i dont want to me super flush like i said anyway. im just trying to figure out what it would look like.

[G-Ammo]

dont EVER cut your springs... if you really wanna get lower and get good handling... take coilovers. I have BC racing coilovers and they're awesome... even on stiffest setting they're still quite comfortable. And indeed... 15'' tires are cheap :) I'm quite lucky with that because I like riding slammed... Or you need to get a fatter tire... like 185/50 or 185/55, but it kills the look / show of your car in my opinion.

[G-Ammo]

yes it'll be less wheelgap... but still quite noticable ;)

[d3310n]

ok ok. not too worried about the "show" always function over form, most of these mods are coming from performance gains actually, ill have a lower final drive ratio, some camber helps cornering, lower unsprung weight, and wider track. i figured i could do this all in a way thatll give me a mild stance look, which will be nice. also, im going to school to be an auto tech, so you can imagine how my buds would be laughing at me if i rolled up in a "herrfrush" ride lol

[G-Ammo]

yeah i see ;) mine is form > function, haha :D

yeah i don't care what people think of my car. Its mine and I love it! :D

Well goodluck man! u'll get there eventually! takes some time

[d3310n]

oh forsure! thanks! and im about to go in deep after i "fix" the wheels lol, turbo and tranny work, all going to come together to be very unique
