I am looking for a little advice. So the wheels I have now on the Yaris were the very first mod I did and I must say, I didn't do my homework before buying. So I ended up getting 16x7" with 195/50-16 tires. After finding this kick-ass thread and doing more reading on the subject, I'm thinking about going back to 15x6.5" with 195/55-15, as recommended here
Now, I also have lowering springs (NF210) and shocks on my list, which is the next thing I had in mind, but I was wondering, would it make more sense to replace the wheels first and then get the springs and shocks or get the springs/shocks first? |

remember, the tire itself is the most important mod. size is less of an issue, whereas the tire compound itself is VERY important. don't go cheap on tires, and it'll reward you.

it's funny you mention those.. I'm thinking about upgrading my stock wheels to 17x7 Enkei RPF1 wheels with 215/40 star spec direzza's... I plan on keeping my stock steelies for winter use. The RPF1wheels are about the same weight as the the stock 15s, so I don't think weight will be an issue. This is my daily driver, so I am wondering if I'm going dangerously low profile and whether or not the ride will be too rough... Any one got any advice? Tamago?

sidewall is less important than the tire you choose. a 55 sidewall StarSpec is gonna be better than a 40sidewall (17inch) somethingelse..
sidewall is only detrimental when you're working with crappy tires like the Falken 512. the sidewalls are soft, and flex way too much in cornering loads.

So how much can I deviate from "the letter of the law"? Are there any trade-offs? Most tires seem to fit a range (such as 5"-7" for instance), so that wouldn't affect the tire selection much. What would I sacrifice/risk with a 15x7 setup? |

Tamago could you offer your opinion on these wheels:
http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda...t/21-1045.html Things I need help choosing: Tire sizes: for street use. going for good mix between weight / traction. have 205s now would like to go smaller. Wheel size: 14s vs 15s. i want a good mix between weight / looks. i'm thinking 14s just might be too small since the car is not a miata after all. Wheel width: 15x7? 15x7.5? Relevant info: Running the DF210s and Tokico blues. If I had to take a stab in the dark i'd probably go with 15x7.5 with 195/50/15. Any thoughts? More importantly is that Miata wheel even going to fit? I picked them because they're cheaper than hell, amazingly light, and from konig. Figured it was a great combo. Thanks! |
