205/50's are ideal for that rim size. You will probably rub if the car is dropped, so either get some adjustable camber bolts for the front, cut the piece of the fender liner where your wheels are rubbing, or get some stiff shocks to reduce the rubbing. You could always go gor 195's, but you wont have much sidewall to protect the lips. Good Luck!

Are you lowered?

You could always check the "Official YARIS wheel & tire guide".

i didnt know we had a wheel and tire guide

really rubbing dropped on 15's?

Well, if you don't drop, then 205/50's are too short. Go with 205/55's.

If you plan to drop, then 205/50's will work on ET40 quite well, but ET42-45 would be better to avoid possible rubbing issues.
