http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp to calculate offset

basically the rim width split in half is 0 offset, higher offset say +45 (stock wheel) compared to a +35 (assuming same width) means the +45 wheel sits in 10mm more. Use the calculator because it gets more difficult to compute when different width wheels are used. One thing i have been told is the yaris is set crooked on the frame, my right rear rubs with weight on bump/pot hole (my tires are shorter too), visibly sits further out than rear left. Im on 12mm spacer, so if i could get a 10mm i should be fine. Either roll the fender or camber shim, or take out the spacer.

Mine is the same way Wonder why toyota did that. When I first noticed it I thought my frame was tweaked and my car had been in an unreported accident.
