Only Happy When it Rains

looking for steel wheel to use as full size spare
and at this point it looks like the easiest thing to do is buy a steel wheel of tire rack for $50 w/ shipping.
I've tried some of the so called websites that search junkyards and some pick n pulls and found nothing. I've tried other websites like rockauto and found nothing. the wheel size i would like is 14x5.5. Should I just get the yellow pages and start calling all the local junkyards?

You could ask the junk yards for an Echo 14"(2000 to 2005) ; or Corolla (1995 to 2002) 14"OEM wheels.

I have a set of 14x5.5 wheels from a 1993 Protege, no caliper clearance issues.

found one website that lists bore, http://www.wheelfitment.net/toyota of course it does not list the echo, however I would highly doubt the US Echo would come differently than the rest of the world Yaris. Here is another one that seems to confirm it : http://www.wheel-fitment.com/car/Toyota/

The reason I say this is cos we had someone trade in an echo she had extra snows on rims stock and would not clear the calipers on her new Yaris ..offset is off just enuf to cause a problem . .was surprised too

Probably the same as Tire Rack when you get done with shipping!

It is possible, as some 14" rims are really 13" rims in disguise, and if there is not enough clearance, offset, and backspacing they would not fit. Even my 14" wheels clear with very little room.

Or did you modify your hatch area somehow to allow a full size tire/wheel to fit? |

I see no reason to require a full size wheel as a spare. The spare provided does the job. My 2 cents

^ It's just safer to use a full size spare if you are not running on stock size tires. At least, i find so.
Either way, if i get a flat up front, i don't install the spare in the front.. I'd put it in the rear and then put the rear tire up front. |
