Dat verklaart dus dat het af en toe aanloopt. Als je ET 45 of hoger hebt zal het niet gebeuren.

(thats explains that the wheels rubbing sometimes. This ET is very low)

Mijn velgen zijn ET 35, denk dus dat 2,5cm verlagen de max is.
my rims are ET 35, i think lowering 2,5cm is max

BTW wel een naai streek van toyota, heb net mijn yaris binnen, heeft het 2009 model 100PK. Zullen ze ook niet ff zeggen, dan had ik nog even gewacht!
100 PK uit een 1.3!!!

I have bought 16" wheels with 7" width, but with ET42 and I don't expect any problems, once the car has been lowered. The "standard" alloy wheels on my Yaris are 16", 6.5" width and ET45.

And regarding the new gasoil engines, this is becoming a standard... smaller engines, with more hp. Look at the competitors like Renault Clio etc. 1.2 engines with 100hp.

Open lucht filter en ander spruitstuk op je huidige dan heb je ook 0ngeveer 100 pk.

That 1.2 has a turbo! so 101 Hp out of a 1.3 without turbo is amazing i think!

It's not the wheels which are rubbing, but the front lip :)

No, not at all, it's more uhm... I'll have to explain in Dutch :)
Als ik bv. van een parking afrijd waar een voetpad langs loopt en die stoeprand is iets te hoog en er is dan nog een goot die nog iets lager ligt, dan raak ik wel geregeld de grond. Of ik moest er schuin kunnen afrijden, dan lukt het wel nog.

Sommige verkeersdrempels neem ik aan nog geen 20 km/u (omdat ze dan toch wel overdreven hoog en kort zijn)

That is a well known problem once a car is lowered. You'll get used to it, you will adapt your driving style and you will think ahead where you'll park your car etc. Been there, done that.
