I think the spring spacers are a great idea, but I've already swapped the stockers back on. I think the tire/wheel combo is really the issue, and its only a hair too much, but I'm a stickler for function over form. I'm gonna put my money into a TRD sway bar and go for adjustable shocks somewhere down the road. Interestingly, I had NO problems with the spacing on the rears, in fact they were ideal, even with a bass amp back there. Maybe the fronts were just a bit too soft. More research required...
SilkySmooth - the 215's are not big tires, as you suggest. Maybe an inch wider than stock. And 15's are stock rims, although the rims size is TOTALLY irrelevant to the discussion, as the tire profile determines the overall diameter. Mine are actually about 1/8" SHORTER than stock. |

If anyone wants some slightly-used TRD lowering springs, I'll take $100!

I'm sure the bumpstops are not his issue. He sayes it rubs at speeds from 20 mph and up. The bumpstops only come into play when the suspension is fully compressed as in BIG BUMP at HIGH SPEED.
The issue is surely too much rubber too close to the fender. Narrower tires, more wheel offset, and more negative camber (which would decrease tire life) are a few solutions. Sound like the tire-wheel combo is just not correct for the Yaris.

trd springs
Your tires are too wide, I had 215 width on mine and had the same problem, change to 205 width and this should go away.
