I agree on all of that. He is even running +15 offset, which it insane on a yaris and to be dumped like that. I'm not concerned about weight because the wheels will be for show only.

lol... I'm still going to be driving with them on... just don't plan on using them that much and would still give a great look with drive-ability.

I don't see how a 17x8 +25 wheel would not fit in the rear wheel well. I am also not going running 225 tires on the wheels, then it wouldn't fit. However running a 195 would fit. If people run 16x7 +40 wheels with a 205 I don't see an issue with an 8" width, with a bigger offset. Especially when some people are running +15 on xxr wheels, and I believe flush is a +30 offset on the rear and +35 in the front. Honestly I think it all comes down tot he right tire size not the wheel... unless I was going to put a 17x9 +35 or something crazy like that.

17s are still taller, so with similar aspect ratios you still have a larger wheel. It may rub. These guys know. Thats why I stick to 15s lol.

no doubt, I would love some 16" with that offset. I'll see how it goes, I'm going to get some 15's to put on my stock tires and use my steelies for snows and then either gonna get the d2's or some 5zigen 16's.

Yes, but he isnt talking about a properly sized tire. a 205/50 16 and a 205/50 15 are not the same size. the 16 will still be taller and wider, slightly but still not the same.

I dont think they will rub much, I just dont see the point in going bigger than a 16 on these cars. I dont think it looks all that great because it dwarfs our already tiny brakes, but no matter how low you go it still doesnt look low because of the wheels. 16s look massive on these cars when they get dumped. Plus tires are cheap! Go with a 16 if anything. Im still partial to 15s on these cars.
