? Rota RB 13x8

[hari]

Hi,
I have less than 2 days to decide if I will purchase them.
Need to know if a lowered Yaris liftback will have any rubbing issues with these kind of rims installed.

I'm looking at these also I really like them ,especially in the small size, but the offset is +4 .These wil stick out from the car like mad.

[Lafiro]

+4 ??

If I'm right, they will stick out like mad.

[Thirty-Nine]

Yes, +4. These are intended for RWD vehicles such as AE86s and British sports cars and stuff.

you could get a staggered set of 15X7 up front and 15X8 in the rear, I was thinking about doing that a little later

Those wheels are beautiful! Unfortunately, 8's, ET+4 will never work on a Yaris. Too bad.

you could do it but the wheels would stick out far from the fenders, it would look really bad up front, I wish the would do these 13X8 in a +30 or +35

Even a 13x8, ET 30 to 35 would still stick out too far.

BTW, if you really like that design wheel, you could probably get it in the original Panasport in 13" through 16" with the proper offset and with many colour options.

I presume you realize that if you plan to run 13's as daily drivers, then finding performance tires for the street will be somewhere between extremely difficult and absolutely impossible. On the other hand, rubber for the track will be easier to come by. Furthermore, 13" rubber is too short for your Yaris as a daily driver.

there are several tire companies with 205/60/13 and that is not too short for a daily driver, less rolling diameter, yes, but too short, huh? no it's not

also we're talking everyday tires-federal and cooper and toya all make 'em

Well, good luck finding a quality performance street tire in that size these days. Not easy to come by.

And, 205/60/13's are 1" shorter than OEM's and are not recommended as daily drivers. Period.

Furthermore, if you lower the car with Tiens, you'll be too low for comfort... even speed bumps will give you a problem!

But... have it your way.

8's on a yari without a widebody kit would look like ass imho....

I'm looking at the Panasports 13 x 8's I plan on using 225 x 45 x 13 R888's for the track.
What offset would work best?

[Nagoya_TRD.]

Best way is to measure up and check.

Tie a bolt to a string, and hang it from the farthest point on the fender (tape it on). Hub is 0 offset (in the middle of the 2 "J" ends of the wheel). Then use a ruler to measure out how many MM the bolt hangs from the hub. Then measure how much backspacing you have.

Depending on how much lip, and how low you want to go , you can measure out how wide of a wheel and what kind of offset you want. Also if you want to roll and pull your fenders.

8 inch wide and a +4 is doable on a yaris (if you measure it out and it doesn't fit, then i am wrong), but i think it's just really aggressive, depends on your style really.

[Saggio]

Im not even sure a 13" wheel would clear the front calipers.

[toad]

a few guys(pre-hack) were running lenso vpd's in 13". they did barely clear the front calipers, but it is do-able(with that wheel anyways). you're gonna have to drop it pretty low to look decent and like kimona said 'speed bumps will give you problems'. tire rack sells a 205/60/13 sumitomo pretty cheap too. i believe the offset on the vpd's is +25, 13x7.5. i've been looking at this setup pretty seriously now that tax refund time is near! they are listed as 'competition only' and will look smallish on our car, but there's just 'something' i like about that look(and weight savings too!). :)

nobody thought about using mini cooper rims ??

[thebarber]

from what ive seen, mini owners dont let their rims go too cheap...plus they have those heavy-ass run flat tires on them too...
