Does anyone know what the offset is of the stock rims for the Yaris? To kimona54 I had 215/40 with a +40mm offset and the rear rubbed just slightly on the inner fender, but me and my dad are pretty big guys.

However, 215's up FRONT won't work; if the car is lowered, they could rub under some conditions, not to mention it's not the best look pushing the wheel/tire package a hair over the edge. With offsets, I know we're only talking 2mm! But just a couple of mm's can make a differnce! For example: With ET40mm and a 215mm tire, you run an additional 7mm to the outside compared to ET42mm and a 205mm tire. That is huge when it comes to minor rubbing problems. My advice for the (lowered) Yaris is never run less than ET42mm up front with 205mm tires. If you don't plan to lower your car, then you can run ET40 with 205's or even ET38 with 195's (205's will stick out). So, for ChinoCharles, I still say he could run 205/40's up front and 215/40's in the rear, and there shouldn't be any rubbing problems, and it will look awesome! |

Actually, running a staggered setup with wider tires in the BACK could help correct my oversteer problems, so I can actually see some tangible benefits there. Problem is it makes buying and rotating tires an absolute bitch, so I doubt I'll do it. I could always go with some hub spacers to even things out.

Yes, it may correct oversteer a bit, and it will definitely even out the unsightly tuck front to rear, and it will look great! Buying tires of the same kind in 2 different sizes shouldn't present any problems at all; for example, the the Kumho ASX offers 205's and 215's... so do Falken, Nankang, Nitto, and Hankook... all reasonably priced. Well, I've never been a fan of tire rotation on front wheel drive cars anyway. When the fronts are worn, the rears will still look like new! Just replace 2 at a time when they're about 75% done. C'mon ChinoCharles, go for it and be the first! You're car will look awesome and you'll start a big staggering movement here. |

Yeah, I just got off the phone with BlackYaris and we agreed staggered FTW. I'm going to go with 205's in the front and 215's in the back.
