16 x 7. To go ET40 or ET45 ? - Toyota Yaris Forums

The only problem with running say a 205/45 16 vs the 205/50 16 is that the car will be lower as well. It won't appear that way, but the difference in less rolling diameter, will also be the extra amount lowered. I know on my dropped Yaris, I couldn't afford any more drop. That's why I'm going to be a weenie and just buy 195/55 15's when I buy 15" wheels, otherwise, I'd go 195/50 16 for 16's.

The 205 50s look great on the car, especially now that the springs have settled. The fender gap in minimal and the car is high enough to navigate every obstacle in everyday driving.

I didnt get the Tanabe DFs because I thought they were too low in the back.

Maybe we should all step down and let the tire God, aka the tire guy, aka Black Yaris, tell people which wheels/tires they should run.

We all know you worked at a tire shop for 7 years but that doesn't mean your the only one who knows tires.

On a more positive note I have 7 inch wide wheels with 38mm offset and no rubbing with 1.1-1.3 inch drop.

I respectfully think I should be said *tire god.*
