We need the specs of your rims to tell you that, but just from looking at the pics, I'm going to say no, you don't need a camber kit (which would really just be washers/shims).

Kaotic Lazagna · 03-14-2011, 10:43 PM

I'm going to say those are 16x7, with an offset of +40 to +42. You can go as low as the S.Tech's and won't have a problem.

looks like your front is tucked enough that you wouldnt need a camber kit

ev_yaris_s · 03-14-2011, 11:02 PM

Yea this are 16x7 with +40 offset 195/50/16 tires. Thats good to hear im gonna look into how to shim with washers trick. Thanks.... Now its on to researching which springs are more pleasurable for DD meaning soft/stiff

I'd advise against the shims if you really don't need them (which you won't). Adding negative camber in the rear effectively adds toe-in, which both will cripple your handling and add to accelerated tire wear.

I'm on TRD shocks and Tein S.Tech springs. I love the look (don't mind the ride quality either), but mostly everyone who rides in my car find it too harsh. The MI springs is a fine balance between ride comfort and stance. They're your best bet.

i was so close to getting those but i got these

Love the car and the wheels, but the front yard needs some real TLC!! (pic 4)

I second this!

My snow tires didn't like negative camber!

Nice looking Yaris BTW!

Derick youre car looks amaaaaaazing, thats what inspired me to go with black rims. But i think youres are 15inch right? What springs you have or are they coilovers? and also those eye lids are sexy thats next on my list

Thanks ev_

Mine are 16" too but with 37 off set, with NF210s springs, you can get eye lids with Garm @ MI

I had some one paint them.

NF210 ride quality is perfect for soft commute, and NO extra weight (Subwoofer Box, Loaded with passengers)

Unloaded it's a good combination of comfort and performance, but I really recommend to add a rear Sway-bar for ultimate Yaris experience!

If I do it again, I would go with MI springs or best of all save for coilovers!

NF210 after 2 years of New England weather...
