No problem. Your wheel definately is lighter. I'm sure they will look great on the car none the less.

I've got the Tanabe NF's and 205/50/16's on BBS and I've had to modify the front inner plastic liner so they don't rub: bent the front and back metal tabs and then used a heat gun to modify the plastic liner at the tabs

Ya'll are rubbin with 205's? What offset are you running.. I have 225/50R15's with absoluly no rubbing.... and I have plenty of room to lower... Teyrume with the supercharged Hatch is running the same size as me and he is lowered with no problems.... Ya'll must be running an odd offset

I had the same issue running 215/45ZR17. I actually had to change my fronts to 205/45/ZR17s so I wouldn't rub. The rears were and are fine. So right now I'm running two different tire sizes until I wear them out. I believe I have a +43 offset. Before I found this board, guys at Toyota told me 43 is what I should run. Tire guys didn't see a problem with that but the front inner fender has a weird shape and when I lowered it with the 215s, I rubbed a bunch and did some hacking to the plastic to remedy. It helped but I still had to change to 205's. Even with the 205s, I get some minor rubbing on u-turns.

Wondering if that might solve your problems..

That's what I was also told. And given that my current setup only rubs on u-turns, I imagine 40s wouldn't rub at all. I really like a little more meat on my tires though. The 40s are so skinny. Not to mention road noise is already bad enough.

My tires rarely rub with 205 50 16s. My wheels are 16X7 +40 offset. Only on hard turns at speed, or large dips at speed will the tires rub the inner fenders in the front. The TRD strus should keep it from rubbing on all but the largest bumps at speed.

"G" · 02-19-2007, 10:21 PM

looks good.

nurburgring · 03-12-2007, 10:57 PM

When u guy rub during u turns, which part of the wheel does it rub ? If it rubs on the inside, more offset will make things worse.

I'll probably be getting some 16 x 6.5" and with +40 offset together with 205/50R16. With a 6.5" wheel at the same offset as you, the wheel should sit inside just a little bit more.

What do u think ?

Black Yaris · 03-12-2007, 11:02 PM

why are ya'll runin the wrong offsets? 7 inch wide should be +38 nothin less, nothing more.... on a 6.5 you have a bit to play with... so a +40 would work no problem with no rubbing issues at all

CASTREX · 03-13-2007, 01:40 AM

I'm having rubbing issues on the back tires of my sedan.

The wall of the tire rubs the edge of the fender.
This is my set up:
Hankook R-s2 W212 205/50ZR15
Konig Heliums 15"
Tanabes DF 2" drop

Weird thing that my car is only rubbing on the left side.

Don't want to go to down to 195 tires or to a more conservative 205. I just need like 4mm to clear the tire so I will probably do some cutting.

rwseattle · 03-13-2007, 12:43 PM

I recently installed my Tanabe NF210 front 1.0f - rear 1.3 with 16" 205/45/16. No problems. I will post new pic in my garage soon.

Do you guys think that 205/45/16 would rub, with most moderate lowering springs?

nurburgring · 03-14-2007, 02:41 PM

From what I gather, so long as you have the correct offset... for a 6.5" wheel its +40 for a 7" wheel +45, it shldnt rub at all.

Right ?

rwseattle · 03-14-2007, 03:34 PM

Hey, dresden_k

I drive on 205/45/16 with Tanabe NF210. No rub. Zero problems. I will post new pictures this week so you can check out the lowering situation. I need to clean the outside before posting new pix. Its drives great. I do still need a alignment but that will happen this Saturday. I personally believe that you should always do the alignment after removing the springs.

I get very minimal rubbing on full suspension compression.

johnnypaseo · 09-20-2007, 10:41 PM

hey large ur yaris looks good thinking about getting the spring techs myslef i love the drop. I was just wondering if you had 195's instead of 205's will it still rub in dips and all

blueskana · 09-21-2007, 04:53 AM

My 6.5" +40 with 195 juuuuuuust graze (you can just see road dust being rubbed) on full bumpstop mashing compresion with the wheels turned, though no damage at all. I just mounted some 7" +40 with 205/50 Toyo RA1's and unfortunatly they are tearing my front wheelwells apart and scuffing the tires pretty bad if the wheel is turned and the front end loads up hard. Drop is Tein S.Tech's with cut bumpstops/stock struts. I'm bummed because I was hoping I could get away with the wheels, but it looks like I'll need +45 and removing that area of wheel well liner to clear it 7" wide rims.
Good luck.
