PLEASE HELP! 15x8 wheels - Page 4 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Doc Zaius · 04-17-2007, 02:57 AM

And 195mm = 7.68"! So the wheel is actually wider than the tire! Is that allowed?? Or possible? I guess so!

eTiMaGo · 04-17-2007, 03:02 AM

sure is, it gives a stretched look to the wheel.. Look at the closeup of my wheel I posted in the previous page, kinda like that, but in that case, probably even more stetched!

It's a matter of taste, I will go for wider tires when I change them, this leaves the edge of my rims far too exposed, already have a few scratches on them

I would run the 195/50/15's or 205's at the most. You might run into trouble whith the wheels rubbing on the inside with your offset, especially when you turn the front wheels to full lock.

my 225/50 tires that were 8.9 inches wide did not rub, so a 8 inch wid e wheel will not rub.... a 195/50 is too much of a strech for the average daily driver

You sir need to pass the crack pipe

You have no clue what you are talking about. Tire width and wheel width are totally different. Let's see pics of your 15x8's with 225's?

I know the difference, between tire width and rim width

and 195's on 8 inch wide wheels?

Those wheels are rad. Lower it on those puppies. Nothing wrong with a little rubbing.

I think those would look great on your car... I would at least try them, but stick to the 195's and just be ready to run some 5mm or 10 mm spacers in case you end up needing them. Chances are you'll be fine.

Those will fit fine with no rubbing with up to a 225/50R15 tire on them no problem.... already did the measurment to run this set up and test fit it... with no rubbing, only reason it is still not on my car is I found a better deal on 17's

Vanderkitten · 06-24-2007, 02:49 AM

Yeah... I have 17x7's and they rub the plastic fender wheel well liners on the left every once in a while. I need to check my ride height. The car handles great, but wheel width has less to do with handling than tire choice, rubber compound, suspension set up, balance, etc.

I have 15x6's for the track and the car WAY OUT HANDLES the street set-up. So, there you go, although I really wish I had bought 15x7's. Also, the offset on the 15x6's suck (they're +47) so I will be adding wheel spacers... anyone know of a decent looking wide-body kit? =) Anyhow, even with the less than favorable width and offset, my car sits an additional inch lower and the stickier tires make all of the difference.

Black Yaris · 06-24-2007, 10:55 AM

This is the only wide body I know of, and I am sure Thomas could get it for you on one of his monthly goup buys

Jerzidude · 06-25-2007, 08:55 PM

is it it posssible to use the stock tire with an 8 inch rim?

brickhardmeat · 06-25-2007, 08:57 PM

No, click on that link right above to the wheel and tire guide. That would be a huge stretch----------------pop

Jerzidude · 06-27-2007, 10:45 PM
