Well see, that my thing too! I know this car isn't exactly built for speed so I'm not going to spend too much time or $ trying to tune it, but at the same time, I do want to get the most out of it.
According to most posts on this topic smaller and lighter is better, so I've been looking at 15" Konig Heliums which weigh like 10lbs. However, compared to the 17" Motegi DP12's (21lbs!!) they look like they belong on a dinky car. I have no idea what to do... |

you can always get your fenders rolled to fit an 18x8.5 rolling them usually give you a good hafl inch extra.

Personally, I wouldn't put anything bigger than a 17 on my Yaris. I had 18s on my xB, and the handling and acceleration wasn't as good as the 16s I replaced them with. Plus, the 16s offer less rotational mass and unsprung weight. With only 106 hp, I think an 18 — even a lightweight 18 — is too much for the 1NZ-FE. This is of course all perofrmance-based opinion, not looks.

so question. i don't know much about wheels, actually i know nothing. i know what spacers r, but does this really help with not having the wheel rub? just a question, and does anyone have a pic of what rolling a fender means?
Thanks |

Spacers will help the inside of the wheel not rub in corners. Basically they will increase the positive offset of the wheels.

Does anybody know if +35 offset wheels would be okay for the Yaris. More specifically, 14x5 +35 wheels.

it'll probably fit...you might need a spacer for the front because it might rub the caliper, but test fit it.
the back is more than fine...you'll actually probably need to get a 10mm spacer to fillin the wheel well why such small wheels? |

Weight.
The +45 wheels weigh about 1/4 lb more for each wheel. The 15x5.5's weigh almost 1 lb more. I'm not going to race the car, and I believe I can find a set of tires that will handle well enough for me. Oh, plus there is nothing wrong with 4 wheel drifts.

What's the difference between 18x7 and 18x7.5
Is it a big differences? 1: I'm new to this so I can it plain and simple, which size will not reduce the performance out of the Yaris HB? 2: And if there is a way to put the biggest rims on and doing something to fix the issue about the wheels touching what in the where of the car, what will it be and cost? is it worth it tho? Thanks in advance. -- Blen |

you can fit 18x7.5 with a 45 offset running a 215 40 18 wheel.
you might have to cut or roll the fender as well as heat gun the front plastic molding where it'll probably hit when you turn the wheel to the max. in all it should not cost you more than 100 bucks to do all of that. the fender rolling should be around 50 bucks and you can just buy a heat gun, use it, and return it :) |
