They're the same stock diameter and one inch wider. I went up one tire size while going down one step in aspect ratio (195/60 15) so that the tire diameter remained stock to keep the speedometer and odometer accurate.
I also like to do small subtle exterior personalizations... (TRD logo, blanked reflectors, center exhaust)

OK, Yeah, those wheels are growing on me, especially with the close-up shots. I like it simple - ESPECIALLY to be able to keep them CLEAN
Example: Spray some friggin' turtle wax express shine on them after a rain storm, and wipe 'em off with a few paper towels, all 4 of them, in less than 5 minutes. I don't want to spray a shitload of chemical crap on them to melt off all the dirt and brake dust (AND finish!) and still have to detail them for a stupid HOUR you get my drift. Sure, a bunch of the rims you see here look so cool, but I live in the real world and want them simple and easy to clean
I understand completely in re: your wheels & tire size - If I find the right rims I want, I will get them & probably wait until I need a new set of tires before I put the new rims on. OR, maybe not! I could find rims & get tires for them, and then run them on the car March - November, then December - February switch over to the stock steelies & good year assurance set I have that came with the car, hee...hee...hee...
Like we have a winter here...oh, decisions...decisions...
That Center Exhaust rocks, really
IS IT REALLY NECESSARY FOR YOU ALL TO GET ME TO SPEND $$$ ON THIS CAR?
Like I have any trouble spending money on my own here...
