15 x 6 or 15 x 6.5??? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Black Yaris · 03-01-2007, 09:26 PM

personall I prefer the 15x7's
but if you are going to keep your stock tires on the new wheel go with 15x6, 15x6.5 has too much of a streched look for me.
Also if your car vibrates after you wheels have been changed it is most likely because they were not properly balanced, most newer wheels can only have weight on the inside. Most tire guys are too lazy to use the sticky weights are ment for that style wheel and just use hammer weights on the back lip... so when you get your new wheels on make sure you tell the guy at the counter you want a DINAMIC balance with sticky weights, and for not reason should they STATIC balance them... static balancing is the lazy way that makes car vibrate

Hope that helps

What the different with Dinamic balance and Static Balance? I got my wheels and tires done at Kauffman Tire, but everytime i hit 80 and up it's kindda vibarate is it got anything to do with Balance and rotate?

Tirerack specs for the OEM Potenza RE92 says the rim width range is 5"-6.5".

Static Balance
Also known as "bubble balancing" uses a fairly inexpensive machine to balance the wheel/tire assembly at rest using a bubble level as an indicator. This technique takes some operator skill to perform good balancing as you need to carefully split the balancing weights on the inside and outside of the wheel to avoid dynamic imbalance.

Dynamic Balance
Also known as "spin balancing" can be done either on or off the vehicle. The majority of tires are probably balanced on computerized spin balancers. After clamping the wheel on the machine, setting the wheel dimensions, it spins up and calculates the locations and amount of weight to apply to the rim to correct the balance. Most spin balancers center the wheel on a cone-shaped mounting device. This works fine for vehicles that locate the wheel on the vehicle via the hub (i.e. "hub-centric"). For vehicles, like Toyota, that locate the wheel on the hub via the lug nuts (i.e. "lug-centric") a special lug-centric adapter should be used to properly balance the wheel. On vehicle balancers avoid this problem, spinning up the wheel in place.

We've always insisted on dynamic balancing, high speed, so we won't get the vibrations on the highway.
