13's ? - Toyota Yaris Forums

03Z33 · 08-16-2007, 03:11 AM

Anyone run 13's on the Yaris? I know many autocrossers and drag racers run them on other smaller and old skool cars but was wondering if anyone has pics on the Yaris...

Looking at a set of these in white:

Lenso VPD 13x7.5 +25 (9lbs each)

they're pretty played out in the Honda/Import drag scene but I think they'd look pretty decent on the Yaris with some 205/60/13 Toyo RA1's

Or I could always snag a used set of old skool 13" Panasports or Wat's

wow..it's hard to believe that is 13. looks bigger..

get some 15" volks that weigh 9 lbs. it'll cost you more $ but you'll save weight on the tire and have quicker response with turns. i'd totally rock 13's if the weight savings was a little more significant.

03Z33 · 08-17-2007, 03:43 AM

Well I picked them up tonight

They weigh in at 8.5lbs on my fed ex scale. Tires are on order, those should come in under 18lbs each so I will be saving a couple of pounds over my magnesium 15's as well as moving the weight inboard.

In all honesty I picked these up for the look more than anything else... I just had to see how they look on the car

And I like the fact that I now have a set of each: 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 wheels for the car

You can't beat the cost effectiveness of 13" racing tires and these wheels. For anyone considering a second set of wheels and tires for track these should be at the top of your list for under $600 total including tires

I'll hopefully have some pics up on Tue/Wed when the tires arrive. Didn't take any pics tonight when I test fit them, but the clearance to the brakes, coilover and fender are all pretty tight.... as close as you can get to perfect fittment without any hassles (I hope

).

hell ya! looks like i might not have to shell out for 14" volks... depending on how these look in your pics =) and you are absolutely right about the price. congrats!

what size tires did you get? do you think they'll clear everything steering lock to lock? 7.5 is fat!!! hopefully it does. that would be so sweet.

Those are some good prices!

I got a great price also, talk to Tom at Camp1320 in Chatsworth.
Tires came out mega cheap too... love the 13's!

I'll post up once they're on the car.

reznunt · 08-17-2007, 05:46 PM

sweet, can't wait! i'm basing my decision off of your results. i wanna know how much rubbing to expect, especially with my car on teins that are all the way down.

Imagine · 08-21-2007, 12:29 PM

I want some pics! I'd rock those on my Del Sol.

blueskana · 08-21-2007, 03:03 PM

Let me know how you like the new effective gearing and if it helps on the track; those with some Kumhos are on the top of the list for the 08' season.
Congrats.

UPS only delivered 3 tires today

They say the fourth one is missing

Hopefully they can find it soon, so I can get these mounted and take some pics. I'll try to mount two tomorrow and take some pics if the fourth tire doesn't turn up.

brickhardmeat · 08-21-2007, 10:23 PM

I am excited to see results.

reznunt · 08-22-2007, 12:41 AM

me too!

CompanyXPaladin · 08-22-2007, 09:40 PM

Have you gotten your fourth tire yet? When do we get to see some pics?

cali yaris · 08-23-2007, 12:23 AM

yeah, I want to see those pics too. I need a set of track wheels and tires ASAP.

reznunt · 08-23-2007, 02:14 AM

if anyone is interested, i can get group buy pricing for five or more sets. this should be around $460 per set of four otd, maybe less. they have all colors in stock. pm me if interested.
