Racer-X - Toyota Yaris Forums

whooppee777 · 05-22-2009, 02:27 PM

after months of debating i have finally decided to do it. this will be my next set-up.

Axis Racer-X 15x7 in the front

15x8 -27 offset in the rear (Just the way your mother likes it Trebeck.)

I am unsure what tires sizes i should go with especially on the 15x8's, any help with that is greatly appreciated.

fenders will be pulled and rolled for a flush look in the rear aswell. and if necessary coiloivers will be added further down the road.

I have a set of NILO's that look just like that for sale, better color too.

pictures?

i gotta say man ive always wanted those wheels, they look sick!

s3r3nity · 05-22-2009, 02:53 PM

that's pretty damn hot

gotta love the dish, cant wait to see em on the yarii!

205/50/15 will be just fine for all 4's and most common size.

the Toyo T1R's offer a really wide selection of sizes that you could play with if you want to keep the same sidewall look for both..

like 195/45 in front / 205/45 in back
or 205/50 in front / 225/50 in back...
or even a 195/45 on all 4's...

with a 15x8 you can strech a 195/45 easy, also possible up to a 15x9.

195/45 on 15x9's in these pics..

not a fan of stretching. its dangerous, and i can afford a tire that actually fits

s3r3nity · 05-22-2009, 03:24 PM

so 205/50 in front / 225/50 in back would be your best bet

KCALB SIRAY · 05-22-2009, 03:35 PM

those look familiar

Need flares...simple stretch is not enough. Example: http://clubroadster.net/forum/viewto...er=asc&start=0

And mind you that on the miatas we can run 0 offset wheels with only having to roll the fenders. While on the yaris...you guys are having a hard time running anything below 32 offset. The lowest I've seen was Saggios yaris which the fenders were pulled and rolled...even then the wheels were 16x7 15 offest I think. You need some flares for it to work. Just trying to help.

This quirky wheel named after a well-liked enthusiast, is a respectful nod to the old school; a unique way to create a signature with a smaller fitment.

SIZE APPLICATIONS
16x7 3 inch lip 4/100 Scion xA, xB 2004-2007
16x8 5 inch lip

Tamago · 05-22-2009, 05:11 PM

fenders will have to be removed.. -27mm offset will be about 1/2 the wheel sticking OUTSIDE the fenderwell.

whooppee777 · 05-22-2009, 05:40 PM

how much would one spend on having the fenders shaped by a body shop to fit these wheels?

$2000

whooppee777 · 05-22-2009, 06:23 PM

i cant see myself spending 2000 on fenders. even though it would look sick. i am changing my mind on the choice of rims.

Monarch Nilo's ftw

whooppee777 · 05-22-2009, 06:27 PM

Monarch Nilos will be my next set of rims.

what would a good size tire be for front 16x7 and rear 16x8?

cali yaris · 05-22-2009, 06:35 PM

Shipped today.

largeorangefont · 05-22-2009, 06:43 PM

205 front and 215 rear.

I would say go with 45 series tires to minimize the chance of rubbing in the rear.
