Well, the stagger just makes things look a little more even back to front. Many Japanese go with a set-up like ET42mm front and ET37mm rear, for example.

You said that you have ET39mm back and front, but that the rear wheels are designed to look deeper. So, the front and rear wheels are in fact different even though they have the same offset... is that correct? With this in mind, how can you rotate? (I'm not a fan of tire rotation anyway, but you mentioned it, and it doen't make sense to me with your design choice).

Now that you know how ET39mm fits the Yaris with 205/50 rubber, would you have chosen a slightly higher offset if you could do it over again?

Yeah, if the tires stick out way past the rear mudguards, it would look kind of stupid.

Yeah, same off set but rear has deeper lip (1+" vs 1.5+" front/back) because it uses different thickness of center piece. The rotation still have to done through re-mounting the tires. It is good to have free labor service since I work in the shop.. heehee.

Hmm... more about off sets.. I would not make any adjustment on this up since all wheels flush out with fenders. Tires stick outside of the mud guard is pretty normal these days because autobody curves inward from fender to lower edge of the the body and especially our cars are extra rounded.

I can't find my book now but I remember in HyperRev108 recommends +37 on 16" wheels, and dont forget that offset accuracy varies depending on wheel manufacturers. For show cars, I love to see wheels have minimum gaps between calipers and the wheel spoks, and also allowing max lips. I think lowering to +33 on this wheel on the front is possible.

My opinion only
