fyi both wheels in this picture are 15"... width makes up for diameter in most cases.. throw in a bit of extra rear "negative" offset and you feel those fenderwells nicely!
you can get the black ones on the right for relatively cheap from www.goodwinracing.com

I was with you until this point. Do you mean I should use the hub spacers in the rear? |

lighter weight = better handling :) and there are more tire choices in 15" IMO.

i'd suggest 10mm hub spacers. the yaris pictured in my post earlier (blue car) had +13 on the same springs as you, but he's also gutted the back of his car, so no rear seats. he no longer has worries of a little rub in the rear. i suggest trying the above setup sans-spacer to begin with. if you like it, and want a little more width, order up those spacers! both penguingarage.com and microimageonline.com carry them

Thanks for your help. I'm still a little confused about the size of the offset, though, since earlier posters recommended 40+ offset and you're saying 30mm. Or does the 10/13mm spacer make up that difference?

typical yaris owners will caution not to go UNDER 40mm. the LOWER the number is (+30mm) the more the wheel will stick out. yaris owners experience rubbing at +38mm when the car is lowered heavily, but they're rubbing on plastic. and plastic will not damage your tire or wheel. a 10 mm spacer will turn a +38 into a +28mm, meaning the wheel is 10mm FURTHER OUT, wider stance. i cannot comment on how this works out, but from all of the yarii i've set up, none of the owners have been too concerned with a slight "rub" now and then, in trade for an awesome looking car. i have a customer up in orlando that has a +35 with 10mm spacer (+25 effective in the rear) that only rubs with 2 passengers in back, going over decent size bumps. if you're absolutely terrified of a little rub, stick to what the wheel/tire guide recommends. however, if you don't mind a little harmless rubbing noise now and then, you'd be fine running a +30 wheel and a 10mm rear hub spacer (with current spring setup) the blue yaris pictured above is a +30 and a 13mm spacer which gives him an effective +17 at the rear. he's on 195 55 15 tire size. please PM TheRealEnth here on YW for his experience with rub issues. ~joel

Thanks again Tamago, I really appreciate the crash course. I think I'll look for something around +35 or +38 to start with, then add the spacers after if they look too sunken in.

sounds good! there are quite a few 7" wide +35 wheels out there :) you'd be able to run 13mm spacers, no problem!

Any sites you'd recommend? I already checked out discounttires and tirerack. I have two sets of 185/65/15 tires that I wanna use up before spending $$$ on new rubber, so I think I'm just in the market for wheels at the moment.
