How much spacers can I safely use ?

OKay... lets get this straight.

Largeorangefont says.... +40s, it rubs abit on the fenders.
Black yaris says... +38s, it does not rub at all.

Its very contradicting I would say. I'm buying a set of wheels this weekend, and this information isnt very helpful. I used to think +45s will rub on the inside, according to Black yaris. What now ? I would be getting 205/50R16 .. 16x7s. I like the wheels to look large... versus smaller. PLus it will ride quieter and a little better.

Plssss clarify!

By the way, My Yaris is here! and it rides nice and quiet at the moment. I find the rear insulation rather poor. I can hear outside people talking clearly from the backwindscreen.

If you are getting a setup similar to what I have then it would be wise to follow my reccomendations. Are you going to lower the car?

Black's car is stock height. That is why it dosent rub. He would have rubbing problems if his car was lowered.

The rubbing on my car is minimal, and I am lowered fairly agressively. 1.7 inches all around. If you do not lower it as much as me you should have no problem at all. If you do lower as much as me, you should see less rubbing than me based on your offset.

Thanks for your feedback. You used to say your tyre rubs on the inner guard of the wheel well. Am I right to say, u discovered that the rubbing actually occurs on the inner side of the fenders instead ?

I'll be doing NF210s.

Correct. I thought it was on the inside, but jacked the car up this weekend and looked and it is rubbing on the outside. It is about a 1 inch by 2 inch section where it is hitting, not much at all. Woth NF210s you should be fine.
