I'm looking into buying new wheels for my yaris sedan, but I'm not sure what size would be best. I've been reading a lot of threads and I have a few questions concerning rims and my yaris sedan. Since most of the time I see example pics of the LB I can only assume all replies refer to the LB. Whether or not replies were based on both the sedan and yaris I dont know so I made my own thread for my specific situation.

Anyhow, which size would look best on my sedan? Also I dont plan on ever lowering my car, just in case some of you would think the size would depend on that. Another few things I read about was how bigger sizes can affect acceleration and smoothness while driving and I wanted some clarification on that.

Pretty much to sum it all up...Which would look best, but would least affect smoothness and acceleration?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Without lowering the car, these are my recommendations:

15x6.5, with an offset (ET) between +42mm and +45mm and 205/55/15 rubber.

Good looks, nice smooth ride, same acceleration as stock, but a little more rubber on the road.

16x7, ET+42mm to +45mm and 205/50/16 rubber.

Perhaps looks a bit better, nice smooth ride, basically same acceleration (they're just a tad taller), and more rubber on the road.

I will go with 16's. But droping it would really improve the looks. Don't go over 16's without a drop cause it might look like a 4x4 :biggrin:

Sorry to bump (its been 24 hours :P), but I forgot to mention that it is an "S" sedan, maybe that might effect its looks with different wheels?
