I only paid 20 shipped CAD for the set I got, were supposedly used but were NIB when they arrived. had never been installed.

Thanks to Myfirsttoyota for the site I have the tire comparison below. the Grabber ATX are listed as 26.9" but .1 of an " is not enough to matter. I need to measure my clearance and may need to mod my lift some more. I did math but I think I got the wrong measurement on the small tire the first time maybe.

I like the beefy sidewall on the 14" rim!
Gonna feel like you're driving on beach balls!! Lol

When aired down for sure. It's a big part of why I am doing the mods as the potholes here are brutal. I went from 17" wheels and tires on my CRV to 16" Nokian Rotiiva AT tires and the larger sidewalls made the ride nice. it barely effected the handling but I get one tire year round as they are Mountain snowflake rated and I improved the pothole survival of my wheels.

Doing the maths as the GT guys say. I am giving the car 1.5" of lift.

26.9" Grabber - 23.5" Altimax = 3.4" Diameter / 2 = 1.7" needed clearances. I will need to maybe install a spring stiffener to the front or back and cut the bumpers a bit. I am also willing to trim fender metal and add flares and offset with spacers for the width of the tire. I am going to do some measurements in the back wheel wells and arches now that the lift is in a settled from a few drives to work and see where I might get an issue or not.

You may be able to get away with the amount of lift you’re putting on. I’m running 185/65r15s on stock steelies, which are 24.5” diameter, and have no issues with rubbing.

When I bought the tires they were originally mounted on Kia Rio wheels which were the same width but had a +36 offset instead of the stock +45 and I got rubbing over bad bumps where the fender attaches to the bumper. It’ll mainly be the fun trial and error in finding out what works best I think! Excited to see those beefy grabbers on there though!

Good to know. I am just about to look at what my TireRack special alloys offset is to see if I need more. the wheels and tires were off my old 96 Civic hatch, I'v had them for 8 years now. Just lucky the Yaris could take the same slightly larger tire. Right now I have my winters in the same size on a set of mazda protoge steel wheels, know idea the offset on those either but they fit fine too.

[Maritime]

so my sport edition F12's are 14X6 38MM offset. you say 45MM is stock. I need to remember myself what that means for wheel in well position. Less puts wheel farther out bound, more puts it more inbound or is it the reverse?

Size:
14x6
Offset:
38mm
Backspacing:
5.00"
Bolt Pattern:
4-100
Rec. Tire Size:
175/65-14
Weight:
15.0 lbs.

[YarMatey]

Yeah so the +38 will sit 13mm further away from the strut. Wheel width is another thing to take into consideration though. For example, the wheels I had for a Kia Rio were 5.5” wide and +36 offset. The tire shop was originally going to order me a 6” wide wheel with a +45 offset. With the extra 0.5” wheel width the offset difference wouldn’t have mattered.

This is a good website to get a visual of how offsets and widths will affect your wheel placement.

If you do go the route of the 27x8.5 grabbers maybe take a peek at what the minimum required wheel width is for that tire too, might factor into things.

Thanks. sorted that already 6 is the min and I was about to calculate some stuff but I'll check the link you posted first.

[Maritime]

OK, from that site, I am good for suspension clearances. Outer wheel arch may rub but I won't need offset spacers from the looks of it. The protege wheels I have are 14X5.5 45MM offset. The wider tire, had to put closest Pmetric size as 27x8.5 screwed it up.

[Maritime]

oh and here is the plan to stop the over compression of the strut top rubber mount. Those are the bump stops out of my CRV struts I rebuilt.

[Maritime]

So I have yet to get the modded lifts in the front but I did measure my rear wheel wells and I have 2.25" before the front of the arch would get hit, which means no trimming near the door. I'll need to trim the back bumper a bit as I have just about 1.5" at the rear of the arch and the tires are 1.6" bigger. We'll see for sure but trimming the plastic bumper is not a deal breaker. I need to mock up a fake tire on the alloy rims to check the front once I get it lifted finally. I may get to it tonight or tomorrow depending on honey do's etc.

[YarMatey]

You could just go to a tire shop or an auto junker and see what a cheap used tire that size would cost. I imagine not much. Might be able to give you a better idea for trimming if you have some actual rubber that size.
Interested to see how those grabbers look on there! They’re going to be some beefy tires!
