im serious here, will 13s fit on an 07?....i know my old 14 mags have some room but im not sure if they have that much room

couple reasons, 13inch snow tires give me more sidewall for rougher roads, and the main reason...if 13s fit im going after these!!!!

Some 13s will fit. It's a crap shoot if they'll clear the calipers or not. We did have a member long ago who managed to get 13" somethings on his ride. Don't know how tough a thread search that will be to find him.

I think typically the barrel is not a problem. Clearance issues are with the spokes.

thats actualy the most usefull bit of info since i did some thread searching with lackluster results

if its "face" clearance then i know the 14s which use neerly the same face as the 13s. and if the caliper needed to be "shaved" for a lil more it can safely be done on the face side as its single piston, but of course knowing the offset id end up pushing them out about an inch anyway giving me all the face clearance i could ever need

so thanks a ton for that...going to see if i can get em

snatched em up for 100$, will post up when i get a chance to test fit

they may or may not end up on this yaris....idealy they will get gold painted centers and "winter" tires, but the selection of 13 inch winter has me grumpy....i like a 195 on the car and consider anything skinier "too skinny to be safe"...however me and my wife are keeping our eye out for an "early" yaris 3/5dr to "lift" and i found some SWEET offroad rubber in 13s

tossin my freshly painted and modified "winter" wheels on tommaro and will finally have a chance to verify

i did up a set of scion 15s, epoxy primed, high build primer, base/clear body matched..wheels are at the shop right now to be mounted with CARE..as the final coat went on thanksgiving day...

been working my tail off literally...so times not been on my side to put the car on the lift and check...hell i need to do the CV's as ive got a boot failing and ive been unable to make time

no go by a good bit, and to clear id need atleast 1 inch of spacer possibly more

plan B with the wheels is to see about having them cut out and turned into a 3 piece wheel at which point minimum size would likely be a 15 possibly even 16....having 100$ into the set i see it as a viable future for them

i can say with fair amount of certanty that most any 13inch STEEL wheel will fit and maybe even some 12's

as far as 13inch aluminum goes its going to all come down to the exact placement of the "well" in which the beeds get dropped down into when mounting and dissmoutnting a a tire..if the well is neer/on the face then a 13 should fit..the further inboard that "well" is the more spacer that will be required

all said if there was a way to gain about 1/4 inch they would "just" clean but be terrifyingly close to the caliper
