Feedback needed on wheels - Toyota Yaris Forums

*kimona* · 06-06-2007, 11:07 PM

I can get a set of these Mini wheels... cheap. Do you think they look good on a Yaris?

Joey1320 used to run them on his car before he went to 15's, and I thought they looked really nice. I hope he doesn't mind me attaching a photo of his Yaris.

I'd appreciate your feedback. Thanks

I like the look, I do prefer 15's on the Yaris but they look real good. They hide the brakes well and they are very stylish.

just ok to my eye, but for "cheap", go for it!!

I like these over a lot of the aftermarket!

They look pretty nice, but they also look like they are a huge diameter and might cause rubbing issues. What size are these rims?

That drop looks identical to mine. Most likely those are NF's or TRD's.

Well I remember the thread that Joey1320 started about the DF's or Tein S Tech but not sure what he ended up with. Looks a little low in the rear to me but could be shadow.

No issues with rubbing whatsoever, and I can get custom hubcentric rings made for @$50.

Those wheels look great on that car. I would say a drop is a must with such wheels.

Did you see how close those tires are to the inside of the wheel wells? If he drops it any, the wheel wells will be sitting on top of the tires! They must rub as it is.

no they don't.. i drove around for 2 months and they didn't rub inside!

joey1320 · 06-09-2007, 09:44 AM

the wheels are 17" x 7". the drop is df and yes the back did sit a bit lower than the front, not much but still there.

i only had rubbing issues because the tire sidewalls were 45, if you go to 40 you should be ok. i really liked those wheels but they were kind of heavy thats why i'm rolling on steelies until i get some 15".

what was the offset again? must have been +38 and not +48 like posted above. They rubbed?

I really like the look on this car also.

thanks i just got done washing it. i was never able to get the Rota SubZero wheels off my brother, so as soon as i get new wheels i'll take pics.

brickhardmeat · 06-09-2007, 12:12 PM

so the rubbing was on the inside with that offset? +48 is pretty deeply tucked in.

Not really... OEM alloys are 45mm (15's) and 51mm (JDM 16's).

no inside rubbing at all. just the outer corner rubbing on the front fender liner by the front bumper. but something fixable with a 40 sidewall tire.
