What to do when everyone checks your tire size...
It happens nearly everytime I go out... someone passes by the car, looks, and just HAS to check the tire size. "20's fit??????"
Well, I dont want 20" badges, I cant find anything I like. To make their lives easier, and do something a little "custom"... in the sig too, check it out: Good mod or no? :) |

I'd say superglue a ruler across the rim

When I lift the yaris, to put it on 30's of course, the rims will be 4 spoke - 2 rulers. Quote:

lol, I was pondering hacking the tire so that no letters were visisble... it would give a really cool clean look... but it would alsobe nearly impossible to make it look decent... and probably void the road hazard warranty on the tires (something I would be scared to drive without).
someone do it, though, would be awesome! |

sure you don't want a window sticker:
"20 inches in my wheels, just like in my pants"

Btw i considered a 20" window sticker, but again, it was just too cheezy. A "dub" sticker may not be out of place... but we'll see. |

nah I doubt it... Think about this, the length of the text compared to the circumference of the wheel at that point... It would be like have a layer in photoshop set to 5% transparency, i.e. barely visible.

Dude, get a DUB sticker! The white one on the window, you know? I've seen a million cars with 17 inch rims with the dub sticker, and that is just lame. However, you qualify. Send the picture to the magazine, you never know... with your background in sound and just with the fact that its a Yaris on dubs, they may just have to come out and take some pictures.

yea, I'd say even less than 5%. After I'm going past 5-10mph i'd say it disappears.
