20 offset with 8" is gonna poke with a "proper" sized tire.

you're out to build a showqueen with stretched tires. why are you even on yarisworld asking questions? go to herra-frush dot cawm. stretch it, poke it, make it look stupiid, rub, ruin tires, all in the name of being herrafrush. .. . .


if you're sensible though, stick to 7" wide wheels and nothing lower than a 20 offset out back and 30 offset up front. enjoy being able to turn your car without destroying your fenders.

bingo.

im hoping to make these emotions fit with a +37 front +27 rear but if i want to go aggressive i may even try for a +32 +22

and i LOVE to turn. I have to take sunset blvd into town everyday and the whole damn road is basically a canyon. im not giving up handling.. thats for DAMN sure

Hello.... you can do just about any offset on this car, mine has a 19mmm offset on it with rolled fenders on silk road coilovers with 205/50/15's on it. My car is in my sig pic

When are you going to show us your whole car? All we have seen is a picture of a rear wheel poppin' out. We(yarisworld) want to see the whole enchilada!

Lol... Im getting a photoshoot done in 2 weeks, sorry the car is done now, I just want to put up really good photo's so everyone can see how good she actually looks

j, what width are your wheels and do you have any kind of rubbing in the front? also what costs did you have to endure to fit that setup?

[jekqmb]

They are 15x8...Yes they all rub pretty bad, i cant have more then 1 other person in the car. If i do its rubs like crazy. I have already blown out 2 tires in the rear...Its worth it cause it looks so good. I had to buy front and rear adapters, i had custom shims made for the rear. I messed my passenger fender up pretty good from blowing a tire out and the wheel smacking it. It costs more to make the wheels fit then what my wheels actually cost me. I can only set the car down fully when its not being driven, i usually roll on a 2.25" drop for daily use. To be honest if you got the money to play then buy some 15x8's or 15x9's with a nice offset...If you dont want to rub, scrap, and buy tires alot then i would go with some 7" wide wheels, oh and the car doesnt handle too well either anymore. But it is pricey, i kind of regret going this route, but the compliments are well worth all the pain i have seen my car go through ;)

your drop is so low too i would be on s-techs for a 1.8 which will aleviate a lot or rubbing i think

Is the car not handeling well because of your stretch? and do you have your coilovers on max dampening?

Its due to the negative camber in the rear being at -3 and tire size, i need 195/45/15's stretched on and that should help alot, yes my coilovers are set to max, the thing bounces like crazy and rides rough, people hate riding in my car. But i love it

You should be ok then, the hardest part for you would be picking what width and offset you want

[Tamago]

width and offset are easy :)

i guess i just missed the whole point of this thread. i thought it was about trying to get 15x8's to fit right without rubbing.

we are and we keep talking about different things to factor in when deciding if 15x8 is right for me. I might stagger and do 15x7 in front instead.

Ya you could go 15x7 in the front and 15x8 in the rear, just make sure you get the offsets right!

There you have it 1.5! The man speaks from experience, and doesn't seem too happy with the end results. It may look cool when it's parked, but drives like $#!+. If you still are stubborn and want to go for the 15x8 low offset wheels, be our guest. Don't say we didn't tell you so.
