TRD Springs issue - Toyota Yaris Forums

ozmdd · 12-09-2008, 10:43 PM

I think the spring spacers are a great idea, but I've already swapped the stockers back on. I think the tire/wheel combo is really the issue, and its only a hair too much, but I'm a stickler for function over form. I'm gonna put my money into a TRD sway bar and go for adjustable shocks somewhere down the road. Interestingly, I had NO problems with the spacing on the rears, in fact they were ideal, even with a bass amp back there. Maybe the fronts were just a bit too soft. More research required...

SilkySmooth - the 215's are not big tires, as you suggest. Maybe an inch wider than stock. And 15's are stock rims, although the rims size is TOTALLY irrelevant to the discussion, as the tire profile determines the overall diameter. Mine are actually about 1/8" SHORTER than stock.
