Haha, totally agree with you on this. Rub a little plastic and they feel like their car is going to fall apart.

I would get 15s and ditch the crappy stock rubber. Better rubber selection going with 15s. But 16s do look better on the Yaris's round bubbly body.

I guess I don't use "rub" and "ideal" together. He said "ideal."

Perhaps the OP should define what he means by ideal, since everyone has a different opinion.

when you guys say "don't buy a +42 offset, you'll rub... you have to buy a +43 offset" does that 1 millimeter make THAT much of a difference? and where is the tire rubbing anyway? outside fenderwell?

its rubs on the outside fenderwell like you said but its not that big of a deal. EXCEPT when your trying to be cool making a u turn or something else that requires you to turn steering wheel hard.......
