Totally lost... - Toyota Yaris Forums

MGargano · 06-08-2009, 03:10 AM

I fully expect to catch some flak for not getting this info from the Official Tire/Wheel Guide, but I honestly tried more than once and it might as well be written in Greek for all I could understand of it. I'm just a total n00b when it comes to all things tires/wheels so I'm looking for all the help I can get.

I'm looking to upgrade the rolling stock of my 09 Yaris 3 door but I'm getting stuck on what sizes will and won't work.

The car's dropped on DF210s and I have a TRD Rear Sway Bar (if that matters at all).

I'm thinking something in the 16" family (since the stock 15" steelies seem a little small to me), but again, I'm a total novice so I may be totally wrong on that. The car's Black Sand Pearl with 5% tint on the rear windows, so I want to do an all-black theme with the wheels too. I just want something that's no-hassle as far as rubbing, turning radius, etc.

Again, I'd appreciate any and all help and input. Thanks.

So you want us to pick your new wheels too

, look at any 16"
wheel with a 40+ offset or bigger 42,44 etc with a width of 6.5" or 7 "
and look at fitting 195,50profile or 205,50 or 215,45 and you should be right , and if i am wrong there's plenty of people on here that will corect me

lol could ya? No, I was just trying to let everyone know exactly what I was looking for, just in case someone happened to have a set that would work for me. At least now I know what sizes I'm looking for. Thanks for all your help!

yarisugi · 06-08-2009, 04:06 AM

No hassle:
wheel size = 16 x 6.5 or 16 x 7
wheel offset= +42
tire size = 195/50/16

dvlnblkdrs · 06-09-2009, 12:08 AM

195/45/16 is best setup.. i have coilovers and no issues...its enough sidewall to not look like rubber bands or like floatation devices... look at the ssr type c.. they is muy sex-c

I'm leaning toward the high-gloss black with 5 spoke designs, but without the chrome outer lip many of these seem to have.

cali yaris · 06-09-2009, 01:33 AM

They don't make the Type C in black any more.

Type F's would rock, but any SSR wheel is going to be out of your price range (just saying what you said, no offense).

You can't even special order it anymore for an extra cost or something?

I think this is it in black, unless I'm mistaken:
