Hell, the factory 15" OEM versus 14" OEM tires have more of a difference than that. 10000 on the 15" factory tires would read as 10400ish on the 14" factory tires.

That answer depends on wheel width and offset.

If you post those specs, we can probably help you with tire sizing.

Hey guys,

I'm looking at getting some new wheels for my Yaris. It's been a fairly lengthy process with me finding something I like, then finding it isn't appropriate for one reason or another (usually associated to my expensive taste, and the fact I'm trying to get nice 16" wheels in Australia...)

The wheels I'm looking into at the moment are Enkei SC03's, 16" x 7", pcd of 4x100, and am planning to put 205/50/R16 rubber on them. The problem comes when I'm trying to figure out the offset.

From what I can find online, these wheels come in a +35 variety, and a +43 variety. I've noticed a few people on the forums with slightly larger offset on the front as opposed to the back (say +42 on front, +36 on back) and was wondering if it's worth going to that sort of trouble, or if I'm better off going +43 all around?

I haven't gone looking for quotes on these yet, wanted to finalise what I want before I start... so for all I know, these could be more expensive than I'm willing to pay, too.

Regards,
Energiser

Edit: Where on the Yaris is the tyre placard generally located? I can find a sticker inside the glove box which mentions my stock 14 x 5 steel wheels, but I thought they were supposed to list the range of wheels suitable for the car. Or at least the range available from the dealership as options (which are 15 x 6 here in Australia).

ET43FR//ET35RR would make a great staggered offset with 205/50 rubber. I run a set of 45/38's on mine with 205's and the fitment is excellent. I'm not a fan of tyre rotation, so that's not an issue for me... but, it may be a consideration for you.

Hello everyone.
So for clarification...I use racing discs over my 185/60R15's allseasons, can I put 205/50R15's on my Yaris without any issues such as rubbing? I do not intend to lower my car.
I just want wider tires. And if so, do you think it would throw off the speedometer?

If you're not lowering, then install 205/55/15's with no worries. 205/50/15's are too short with stock suspension. Your speedo will be fine.

Are you lowered, and if so, how much?

Okay. I'll take a peek later.

EDIT: I've made a few changes to the wheel/tyre guide. I'll get back to it another time and update tyre size recommendations.
