I know what you were asking and why you were asking it. I just don't want to give the mods more work to do on a Sunday

Yes THANK YOU lol.

Like others said, not the best deal. Stay away from any wheels from the dealership. You'll find a much better deal online.

I'll also say that more often than not, people that buy big wheels for their Yarii end up regretting it and getting smaller wheels, myself being one of those. Low profile rubber on an econobox can make for an annoying ride. Altitude, I'm not trying to steal your thunder... I know you're an exception to this and I agree that larger wheels look better on the liftback, but man do they get bumpy. I used to have 17's with a 40 profile tire and was thrilled to go back to a 15" wheel with 55 rubber.

It's all good. Everyone has their own opinions on style and ride quality. Having driven a Wrangler for the past ten years a stiff and bumpy ride is nothing new to me. On the plus side the roads where I live aren't all that bad and running 18's on my Yaris is a smoother ride than my Jeep - so it's all relative.

I'm with you, not only do I also have a Wrangler (05 LJ) but I also run larger tires on my Yaris (215/45ZR17 Riken Raptor ZR tires on American Eagle MSR Style 138 rims with +42mm of backspacing).

Sure, I know I sacrifice a little gas mileage with the larger tires; but the car looks so much better with those wheels on it! There is a stock Yaris where I work and sometimes we park next to each other. The difference is significant!

Cheers! M2
