15x8 end all questions - Page 5 - Toyota Yaris Forums

AdeJong 03 · 03-25-2010, 04:54 AM

yea i mean from what i understand most of those hellaflush cars arent daily driven anyways

i daily my car- and the potholes and driveways in some areas of LA are RETARDED. I wanted to slam my car but the other day realized I wouldnt have cleared a speedbump in a parking lot that I encountered. So im happy with my set up now

by the way, im running the +28 rear 16x7 and im STILL rubbing after cutting my fenders (on hard dips)

Im gonna try to cut them more but it just goes to show that you need to put a lot of work into making wheels sit flush on these cars, and even more than that if you want to go super aggressive

I was going to try to drop to a +32 front +22 rear but i gotta say Im not too motivated at this point. The wheels fit fine already and the extra 5mm isnt worth the extra headache to me anymore, not as long as this car drives everyday

I ran 16x7 Rays Engineering wheels with a +37 offset (can't quite remember) and 205/50/16 tires dropped on Megan Coilovers. The front wheels rubbed quite a bit. The rears were fine.

I now run a +40 15x6.5 wheel with 195/55/15 tires and only rub in hard cornering while riding on S-Techs.

that's backwards.

shouldn't the drive wheels get the bigger tires?

15X8 +36 from www.949racing.com

done. no rub.

As far as being backwards you're completely right it is backwards but I can fit that size wheel on the back and not have to worry about rubbing and I get to have the low offset wheel i want.

not really feeling the wheels thanks tho i have been taking everything you guys have said into consideration and have rethought everything and I am changing what im going to chose. I have pretty much decided that 15x8 +15 or lower is just too big for these cars and I dont have the patience nor time to deal with a car that needs to be in the shop every week cuz my wheels are tearing apart my car. I am currently looking at
some 15x8 +25 wheels or some 15x7 +15 wheels. I want a small wheel (most likely 15s) with a kind of low offset and a large lip that is my most sought after aspect is a wide lip with some poke. If anyone can point me in the direction of wheels that match my needs then by all means please let me know. Like I said all of your posts have been carefully read and thought about and I thank you all for your input.

jekqmb · 03-28-2010, 02:29 PM

Hey go with some Diamond Racing wheels or or some Axis Oldskools in 15x8......You can get what offset you want and the size width you want. Im a fan of the oldskools

AdeJong 03 · 03-28-2010, 06:37 PM

if you want a lip or concave under 700 your 2 choices are going to be xxr wheels and tr motorsports

if you decide you like team dynamics pro race 1 i have a set of 16x7 fs with tires for under your budget shipped

pics of the wheels are on page 1. id keep em if i could buy i dont have the space and would rather have the money

i completely agree but i was always reluctant to refinish them because they have this awesome finish that i cant capture with a camera- depending on the way the light hits the wheel, it changes the shade of silver. kinda like a hyper silver or something.

you might be able to see what i mean in this pic

jekqmb · 03-28-2010, 10:43 PM

Ya those look really good, i see the shine now....

Damn man those rims look really good up close!
