why would a wider rim, be better on a hybrid? ... then you got a bigger surface, that uses more BHP ?

Those tire sizes are too short. 50 series should be on 16s and 40 series should be on 17s.

Are you asking which of those two you should go with? That would be a personal preference. If you like the way 15s look go with that, if you like the way 16s look go with that. I would not go wider than 195 on a 7, not saying you CANT go wider, that is only my preference
Sorry to clarify...I would like to know what size tires would fit best on a lowered yaris considering the wheel specs I posted?

He's saying 205/50/15 (or 195/55/15) on the 15", and 195/50/16 (or 205/45/16) on the 16".

16x7 is probably pushing it weight wise, but at least you will have the torque of the diesel to help.

Likely to have minor rubbing there - it will be close and depend on your drop.

I disagree with WeeYari, I have run 45/50 on 15s 40/45/55 on 16s without issue. The shorter the sidewall the lower you will be to the ground and give the harsher the ride. Thicker side walls are usually more cushy.

Its going to come down to your wheel preference. Find the wheel you want and then find a tire to match.

Think of what you want out of your new tire/wheel setup like weight, performance, looks, stance, handling, etc thats a good way to start

Precisely. If you go with lower profile sidewalls then invest in better shocks/struts. Your ride will be harsh. Theirs always a domino effect when you start changing your cars set up from stock specs. Been doing this for almost 33 years now, I see all kinds of messed up upgrades or set ups still.

He's only dropping 1" so with a 195/50/15 or 205/40/16 it would almost be pointless if an objective is to reduce wheel gap.

This was me when I had 195/50/16s dropped 1.5". Wheel offset is +42 with 10mm spacers in the rear. Essentially +42 in the front, +32 in the rear.
