Does anyone know what the offset is of the stock rims for the Yaris? To kimona54 I had 215/40 with a +40mm offset and the rear rubbed just slightly on the inner fender, but me and my dad are pretty big guys.

Thanks for the feedback. After some measuring, I'm confident that with an ET42mm, there should be no problems at all in the REAR with 215's.

However, 215's up FRONT won't work; if the car is lowered, they could rub under some conditions, not to mention it's not the best look pushing the wheel/tire package a hair over the edge.

With offsets, I know we're only talking 2mm! But just a couple of mm's can make a differnce!

For example: With ET40mm and a 215mm tire, you run an additional 7mm to the outside compared to ET42mm and a 205mm tire. That is huge when it comes to minor rubbing problems.

My advice for the (lowered) Yaris is never run less than ET42mm up front with 205mm tires.

If you don't plan to lower your car, then you can run ET40 with 205's or even ET38 with 195's (205's will stick out).

So, for ChinoCharles, I still say he could run 205/40's up front and 215/40's in the rear, and there shouldn't be any rubbing problems, and it will look awesome!
