Finally got some pics of my car with the coils on! Sorry for the poor quality though, they were taken with a phone. Specs are 15x8 +20, 195/40-15, 6k front 4k rear. Although I think I am going to have to go to a 7/5. Rear fenders have been shaved down on the insides and I am seriously thinking about pulling them. http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee481/hachi-goes/image-3.jpg (http://s1230.photobucket.com/user/hachi-goes/media/image-3.jpg.html)

I like the way it looks but it is pretty low, lol. The front rub the fender liner but not the actual fender, the rears will rub fender even with the shave and -2° camber. Hence thinking about the stiffer springs. As for the pulling, I might try to ( carefully ) phonebook pull.

Looks good. That's the first sports grill that I have seen on an 09-11. That's a great look as well.

Thank you, the trd badge is "floating" inside the M.I. grill. I am really suprised more people don't run them, they really improve the front end

Some people told me those XXR rims you got wouldnt fit my Yaris... but they're AWESOME!
I also have BC's!
OP nice! I love seeing more Yari with the fitted look. I definitely say yes to pulling fenders
@G-Ammo you can definitely fit much wider setups on our cars lol

Yes Indeed...! 8J fits perfectly too :D
8j is 8" thats already the size he is running but im saying way wider lol like 10J lol

Thanks everyone,
G-ammo, seeing pics of your machine dropped was a big inspiration :D
And yeah, we could run 9 in the rear, keep it at +20 or +15. Might be rough on the front end though. Hot swaps (wider rear) look good but you limit rotating, and god forbid your tires are directional lol.

haha awesome to hear man!! :D
Yeah I wanted to do 8 rear with +0 haha... but that requires some fender pulling.
I now have 20mm spacer in the back on 7 +20, so basically a 15x7 +0! Which almost has the same fitment as you do with your 8's!

Almost, 15x8 +20, with the 13m hubspacers, so I'm sitting on an effective +7. An 8 rear with a zero and some camber and fender pulling would be dead on. Hopefully I'll have time to start the pull on mine tomorrow. Do you rub on your rear fenders? I was gouging my rear tires until I shaved out the inners, still rubbing though:/

Please post a pic of "shaved out inners".

I'll try get to get one tomorrow if I remember. All I did was take an electric grinder with a flappy wheel to the metal and took out the rolled section of steel right at the finder lip. The yaris' don't have a lot there to begin with but any time the suspension compressed it would make contact with the tire and gouge it. So I eliminated it, helped with the gouging, not with compression rubbing.

I am eager to see how you trimmed the inner fender as well. Looking good man!

Yeah I rub my rear fenders too when I'm driving in a little ditch... But I still have 1 cm left of space between the tyres and the rear fenders; I don't rub that much!
Make sure to use that heat gun, you dont want to chip paint. The rolling/pulling is not hard at all, if youre not careful about keeping it even and being smooth you can bacon fender easily.
I trimmed as well using a small electric hand saw and tin snips and cut all my brackets out and crap lol.
Post pics once done

Thanks guys. Sadly, I didn't have time todayto pull the rears. Hopefully I will tomorrow. I did however start to remove a horrible eye sore from the engine bay ( again, sorry for the poor quality) http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee481/hachi-goes/IMG_20140521_192846_441.jpg (http://s1230.photobucket.com/user/hachi-goes/media/IMG_20140521_192846_441.jpg.html)
Still a good bit to do on that, but that is a story for another time. Lol

Okay, sorry for the delay everyone. I tried to do the phone book pull and well, it could have went better lol. I couldn't find a thick enough phone book[/IMG] so I used a pack of printer paper, what's the difference right? Well, turns out the difference is pretty important. Phone book paper is thinner and more flexable. Using the printer paper caused baconing where the edeges were.

It not terrible, but it is noticable (hard to capture on film though). It worked though, no more tire rub. I plan on having this fixed as soon as I can. While I had the car on the lift, I wanted to see how bad I was scraping.

hhahaha I have the exact same scratches :D

Yea that looks nice and sizzly lol, try and rent a fender roller its the key, I have one you can borrow and im only in Tampa

I appreciate the offer, but at this point idk if doing it with the roller would help. Wouldn't it just push the ridges up with everything else? One of our associate body shops (that stand to make NO money on repairs to our cars) said it would have to be taken to metal, pulled, some bondo and repainted at the repair site. Besides, I'm not in a hurry. It looks rough up close but its functional, and my setup may be changing in a few weeks ( may be getting some 17's)
Nice 17s can look pretty good. If you continue to flatten the inner lip over and over until it pulls the fender out then you will push the metal out flatter on the outside. Think of it like a wave with crests and troughs, pushing the lower part of the wave or trough out more would creat a flatter appearance on the outside. I did that with mine but youre right it wont come out PERFECT without body work, its a start though lol
