the 40 series isn't signify the height of the sidewall in mm, it signifys the percentage of the width which is the height of the sidewall.

meaning the sidewall height on a 225/40 20 is 40% of 225 and the sidewall height on a 225/35 is 35% of 225.

the difference between the 40 series and 35 series is 11.25mm instead of 5mm

sorry, my bad. I meant on either side as approx. 5 either side of center... make sense? regardless It would have been a bad situation.

as a side note, Im thinking about lowering it - can / does an aftermarket spring such as zenn, tein or others lower the ride but keep spring rate so stiff theres little to no compression? I want to go tein coilover but dont want to dish out that much cash right now.

I think raising the yaris 5-10ft and put monster truck tires on it would be HOT.


That's just my thought anyway...

I would have used a hatchback, but that would have looked just plain silly.

Needs a really modest drop. Hack your stock springs.

A Yaris monster truck would be amazing.
