new rims, some rubbing, best fix? - Toyota Yaris Forums

If you run 16x7's and don't lower the car, then 205/50'16's should be just fine up front with any offset from +38mm to +45mm.

If you lower the car, then you'll have to adjust the offset and/or the tire width/height.

I notice a lot of the Japanese guys run staggerd offsets on their Vitz: They typically run 7's with ET+42mm to +45mm up front and ET+35mm to +38mm in the rear.

Of course, you can't rotate tires with staggered offsets, but that doesn't seem to be a consideration when you're trying to get the wheels/tires to clear properly and to look just right all 'round.

Unfortunately, unlike wheels in Japan, we don't have many available here in the States with multiple offsets, although I have found a few at Tirerack.
