Skirts too low,Ne Suggestions - Toyota Yaris Forums

David81 · 06-02-2006, 11:25 AM

I got the Yaris 2007 Sedan Aero package.

I noticed my front/side/back skirts are way too low, they are lower then the curbs on my driveway.

Any suggestions on what i could do? Would putting bigger wheels help?

17" rims would do ne good?

ya bigger wheels with not to low pro tires would help a little, as long as the diameter is large than the wheels and tires you have on now.

um don't hit the curb, easy as that

If you do go into a driveway, go at them at an angle. I need to do this all the time to get in and out of driveways. Doesn't help with the standard bodykit + lowered kit + minutely smaller tyre.

did you not think of this before buying the car?

how about ramping up those curbs in your driveway with some ashphalt

air bag suspension to raise car

sell the skirts to me!

Oh come on.. get your priorities right!!! Car 1st, house 2nd.

David81 · 06-06-2006, 04:01 PM

Lol, to be honest i didn't think about all this. I Saw I Liked, I offered, I bought.

It is going to be a pain in winter...

take the kit off until you have some wheels damn ricers

ricko · 06-06-2006, 08:00 PM

Put a length of 2x4 against the curb, to give you a bit of a riser. Enter your driveway at an angle as Smelly suggested, and go VERY slow.

yeah angles help alot, i've got a '91 honda crx with about a 2" eibach prokit drop and have to in at angles pretty much anywhere with a big incline

echo_hrs · 06-07-2006, 10:40 AM

Bigger wheels won't help, because you will need to use a lower profile tire to maintain the same aspect ratio as your stock wheels, meaning the outer diameter will not change...

If you don't do this, your speedo will be way off, and you will probably get rubbing in the fenders as wel...

get a lift kit..like the big offroad trucks?

there is a older chevey caprice driving around in my neighborhood with like 24" rims...he must have a 4 inch lift on it to have gotten them to fit..but im sure he dont scrape the ground at all..not to mention he dosnt have any problems looking like an idot driving his car..

is your car lowered? if not damn you must have some big ass curbs to drive over, mine never scraped on anything before i lowered it.

I know Cusco has 2 type of coilover sets for Yaris...U might adjust the height before the change of seasons...

I did a quick photoshop job a couple weeks ago using suspension and wheels from an old grand prix donk... called it Yaris Donk... i might throw it on here later if I get a chance. Looks hilarious with 26" rims.
