Snow (hopefully studded) tires - Toyota Yaris Forums

The next question is in regards to insurance coverage. Someone told me today that if I don't use factory recommended wheels, my insurance can/will refuse to pay in case of an accident? Are the current wheels I have "factory approved"? I have 195/50R16.

I've never heard that and that would pretty much kill the aftermarket wheel market if it was actually true.

Your wheels are definitely aftermarket, as the Yaris only came with 14" or 15" wheels from the factory.
