Yes you could.

Yes will affect performance, acceleration and breaking will be quicker (due to a smaller diameter) it's going to feel peppier, and will turn corners faster

No It won't damage gearbox

Your speedo will read a 3 or 4 MPH faster than actual (at highway speeds) aprox.

The gap between tire and fender will be bigger

Your ride will be harder (less rubber) you may feel bumps more than before.

I'm not an expert on the topic but I hope it helps, I'm sure other YarisWold members would have something to say, specially the ones that have done this exercise!

What is your goal changing tires size?

No problem going with wider wheels... 15x6, 15x6.5, 15x7.

Here's some 15x6, +39mm offset wheels with 205/55 tire. Fits just fine.

[limochong]

just curious question, what's the difference between 15 x 5.5 and 15 x 6??
is it okay with 185/60/15 size tires on15 x 6 rim?

The difference is 1/2". 185mm tyre can fit on wheel width 4.5-7.0"

195/50/15 are much cheaper than 195/55/15.

Will a larger diameter tire which will lower engine revs give me better fuel economy? Most of my driving in on the freeway. The stock tire is 175/65/R14.
I can get the Michelin Hydroedge in:
185/65/R14
185/70/R14 or
195/70/R14 (assuming this tire will fit the clearances)

While bigger tires are heavier and less efficient, they will also raise the effective gearing,lowering the engine revs which should benefit MPG's right?

Thanks in advance for the help with this.

185/70/14 would be an excellent fitment at 24.3" diameter... equivalent to OEM 205/45/17.

[sleey0]

Allright folks.

Getting some +45 ET RP03's - 17x7.

Are 215/45/17 the rec tires for this? I am lowered about 1.5 inches.

I see the diameter is more. So maybe 215/40 or 205/40?

Confused?!?!

Thanks!

I'd install OEM tyre size 205/45/17 with that wheel and your drop.

Kimona!!

You are like the tire God around here. lol :D

Thanks, bro and I will def post some pics when my setup is complete.

[sleey0]

One more for you kimona:

17x7 +38mm ET enkei ev5's.

Recommend the OEM 205/45 or 205/40 (or anything else)? I was told the 205/40's should be fine on less than 2" drop.

THANKS!

With 7's, ET38, I generally prefer 195mm rubber, but with 17's you don't have much choice but to run 205's.

I would prefer 205/45's with your 1.5" drop; however, with ET38-40, I'd probably run 205/40's... a tyre size I really don't like too much.

If at all possible, choose 7's with ET42 or greater; they just work better up front for a simple bolt and go application.

[sleey0]

Yeah, I know. The only reason I am even thinking about the 38ET's is because of price.

Can get an entire set of wheels for $300 and they are in excellent condition with minimal pitting.

As opposed to the RP03's that will run at least $1k without tires. lol

[kimona]

Yeah, but the dual-drilled Enkei EV5's are rather unsightly IMHO.
