The nice thing with coilovers is that you can go as low as it can, and just keep raising it up until you're comfortable with the road condition.
Like I said, 17's would be best for the sedan. haha. But the face design of the wheel plays a role as well. Some rims just don't look good in 17's. |

My 16's weight 11 lbs each. I just mean in general; the bigger the wheel you get the more heavier it is, but it does depend on which one you get. It all depends on user preference I guess. I don't want my wheels to be TOO big, but I want them to look like they belong on the car. I think 16 was the perfect size for me. 17 was a very close second though, it took me a long time to decide between the 2 and I eventually chose 16. If I had the sedan, i'd honestly have probably gone with 17's. |

If you want the same amount of poke as my rear, you'd have to go with 17x9, ET45. The problem now becomes inner clearance. A wheel with those specs will have a full inch of less inner clearance, so I don't know if it will clear the rear shocks.

17x9.75 +25 up front leaves about 1-2mm clearance with the thinner coilover style struts (prolly wont fit with stock shocks)
17x9.75 +25 in the rear left me with i think 1.5" of inner clearance and the 17x9 +45 will sit about an inch more inside the fender so you should be left with about a half inch of clearance... more than enough ... and florida? Im in Tampa. Where are you located? |

Less offset on the same width rim will translate to more poke. If that's your style, go for it. I personally don't like the rim lip going a few mm past the fender, but that's just me.

Why no love for 13s and 14s? So much more fun.

While extremely light (a friend has 6.5lb CE28's in 14's), they limit the use of BBK (for those who want that), have limited widths unless you want to spend a ton for vintage race only magnesium rims (even those CE28's are "just" 5 or 5.5 inches wide), harder to find specs for those who like flush/hellaflush (mix this with narrow widths, and it's nearly impossible to have a set for stance and fitment), and lastly, the sidewall profile is so large that there will be a lot of sidewall flex (friend with those CE28's complains about how his car/suspension has almost no roll, but the tires makes it "mushy").

Compared to 16s, 17s require more energy to spin and stop, making the car even slower than it already is. Consider that the majority of the wheels' weight is on the outermost part (i.e. circumference) of the wheel. This means that even a 1- or 2- lb. difference is magnified since it's located outside of a larger radius. Conversely, the same wheel in a 16" diameter is lighter with all of its weight located inside of a smaller radius.
As the yarisworld knows, the Yaris isn't known for its incredible tire-melting torque (or reasonable throttle response, or logical dimensions, or a steering wheel that telescopes, or adequate-length front suspension arms, or a rear anti-roll bar, or a clutch that can go more than 4000 miles without juddering, or having all the jacking tools in one place in the car, or A/C that doesn't smell like a spore-releasing fungal megacolony, or anything significantly improved since 2007, or not looking like a turtle, albeit not as fast), so putting heavy metal at all four corners is a step backwards in performance. It's also doubtful that you can achieve the same tire circumference using 17" wheels; The tires will be larger than OEM, effectively making all the gears taller, and making the car accelerate slower at all speeds, all the time. And the absolute last thing the Yaris needs is higher gearing. Plus the tiny, punishingly stiff sidewall of 17" tires that resemble rubber bands, combined with the Yaris' short wheelbase and short front suspension arms, will make the car even more uncomfortable over road bumps and undulations than it is in stock form, with your being more susceptible to breaking a steel belt over potholes and enjoying more trips to the shop for front end alignments. But it's your car. Last edited by juicyjosh; 11-19-2013 at 02:06 AM. |
