Skirts too low,Ne Suggestions
I got the Yaris 2007 Sedan Aero package.
I noticed my front/side/back skirts are way too low, they are lower then the curbs on my driveway. Any suggestions on what i could do? Would putting bigger wheels help? 17" rims would do ne good? |

ya bigger wheels with not to low pro tires would help a little, as long as the diameter is large than the wheels and tires you have on now.

If you do go into a driveway, go at them at an angle. I need to do this all the time to get in and out of driveways. Doesn't help with the standard bodykit + lowered kit + minutely smaller tyre.

did you not think of this before buying the car?
how about ramping up those curbs in your driveway with some ashphalt air bag suspension to raise car sell the skirts to me! |

Put a length of 2x4 against the curb, to give you a bit of a riser. Enter your driveway at an angle as Smelly suggested, and go VERY slow.

Bigger wheels won't help, because you will need to use a lower profile tire to maintain the same aspect ratio as your stock wheels, meaning the outer diameter will not change...
If you don't do this, your speedo will be way off, and you will probably get rubbing in the fenders as wel... |

Yaris Donk
I did a quick photoshop job a couple weeks ago using suspension and wheels from an old grand prix donk... called it Yaris Donk... i might throw it on here later if I get a chance. Looks hilarious with 26" rims.
