In need of a wheel expert
I apologize in advance if this is a constant topic but really interested in widened steel wheels. I was looking at Diamond racing wheels and seen they have a nice selection. I don't know much about rims when it comes to offset/backspacing and was wondering if 15x7 with backspacing options of 1 1/2" to 4 1/2" would fit the Yaris?

I would say send a PM to Kimona and describe what you want to do. You will get an answer.

Currently running a 16x8+0 on the rear of my car and I had to do a fair bit of fender work and have 3 degree camber shims put on. I think thats a backspacing of close to 4.5". So you may be a little better off with a 15x7 with that kind of backspacing.
You do know that you can do a 15x9 or 15x10 if you do a high enough offset right? If your going to do some widened stealies, why only add .5"? Angela |

Its not really the widened part I'm looking for the most it's more of a lip I want, I want a set of rims with about a 1-1.5" lip on them. Even though wider is better I think dropping the car about 2 inches with a deep dish would look amazing.

Ok 3" is the more aggressive look I am trying to achieve, Pur Blu's looks amazing but sticks out a lil too far. I hate having OCD and trying to have everything at a perfect setting it's so damn impossible.

One pair is the stock Yaris steelies (wanna say those are the front). The rear (I wanna say) were from an Integra. Oh, I was just using Pur Blu as a reference because he has had his steelies widened, albeit, wider than the OP wants. lol

I know diamond racing you can do alot of fun stuff cause they have lots of options back spacing wise.
I say if your going to go widened stealies though you wanna go wider with the higest offset you can. Will prevent the need for fender work like I am going through. Had to have the fenders pulled crazy. Basically wided the back of the car 1-1.5" for the wheels to fit properly and not rub. 16x8 + 25 and you would be golden. 16x9+35 and you would be good. And isnt there an orange car running a 10" in the rear and he did no extra fender work. So his offset is probably close to 40-45. thats on the rear though. Front we are 16x7+38 and it rubs on some bumps but I'm fairly low on coils. May be able to do 7.5" with like 45 offset and be good. I think there is enough room back there. Angela |

Yea I think I know the orange one you're talking about. And I'm pretty it was a 10" wide wheel and I think I seen where he said it was a 45 offset. I want the flush look with no camber adjustment, if Pur Blu could get rid of the camber it would look amazing IMO. I understand once you lower it enough it's what happens but I want that go cart feel lol.

a 9"+0 is crazy.
There is no way that is "flush" without camber. thats 16x8+0 without camber |

Thanks. Just wait for the next picture where it all fits ;-)
To the OP. You have lots of widened stealie options. Just remember you can stay super high offset with a wider wheel. You can also use a wheel fitment calculator found on the internets to help you figure stuff out. Angela |

Whenever I buy wheels/tires for my cars, I make sure they stay inside the stock fenders (I hate shaving/rolling lips) because I can't figure out how cars like this can roll down the road... |

That was just the test fit for the wheels ;-)
Now there are 3 degree camber shims in, and the fenders have been rolled and pulled. Its the look I was going for. I am on coilovers, although the springs are far too soft. Angela |
