good point, I have the HF tire changer for bike tires and have taken tires of car rims with it, If I can get a scrap one in the right size I could swap it and inflate it probably easier than making a dummy tire. The only thing is they are pretty rare tires around here. When I went in to my shop and asked them to look at them for pricing, the guy argued they didn't make that size and was surprised when they came up available in their system. If I still had my 15" rims I could find a tire in the P-Metric size that would be really close easier but I sold those rims. |

225/70/14 exists and may be easier to find. I't pretty close in size to the 27x8.5R14. I'll try that one.

Yeah I’m sure there’s a couple sizes that would end up similar enough in diameter that could work just like you pointed out. Good luck hunting!

With just the xD springs how much lift would you estimate it gave you? Any issues with the shocks being topped out that you noticed? Also, Myfirstyota you said the whole strut assembly from an xD will bolt right into a Yaris with no modification? What about the rear shocks do you know?

Life. LOL. I will have time wed or thur I hope to put the front and see. Backs been holding up but its clunky so need to find out why before I make it permanant. I thinknit may be shocks topping out over bumps and if thats true I need to extend them to prevent damage.

Well it will be a little longer before I get the front done. I had my CRV V-TEC shit the bed on the drive home from NH last night and it is in the garage waiting on a new Actuator valve and it won't be out of there until that arrives Friday or Sat.

And yes, theyre a direct bolt-in. You could order an aftermarket assembled strut and you're done.

Oh awesome. I’m thinking with just the xD suspension and fender cutting I should be able to fit 27” all terrains. Good to know the whole strut assembly from the xD will bolt into the Yaris. I’ve searched high and low for used xD springs, the stealership wants so much I could likely just but a new set of struts and rear springs/shocks. Thanks for the info!
Can’t wait to see how the front lift goes for you, that things going to be a BEAST when it’s done!

Well lift version 2.0 is in and seems good. I'll drive it for a few days to be sure, Next I need to find a used tire in the same or close to same size to try mounting and check for clearance etc. there was a full 1.5" after the lift was installed and waiting to see if there is any settling etc. Only thing I notice is the steering is a little heavier but not bad really, I actually prefer it now as before the electric assist was too much, now it seems better. I can actually feel the height change sitting in the car too which could just be in my head LOL.

Baja Yaris
Looks like it’s coming along nicely! I totally get what you mean about “feeling” it when you sat in the car. When I went from 175/65r14 to 185/75r15 tires I could even feel the tiny amount of tire lift I got.

Love to see the turbo in person, but do you have a 27" tire? I have 2 sets of 185/65/14 but need the 27"x8.5" 14 to check clearances
