Do you guys think that 205/45/16 would rub, with most moderate lowering springs?

From what I gather, so long as you have the correct offset... for a 6.5" wheel its +40 for a 7" wheel +45, it shldnt rub at all.

Right ?

Hey, dresden_k

I drive on 205/45/16 with Tanabe NF210. No rub. Zero problems. I will post new pictures this week so you can check out the lowering situation. I need to clean the outside before posting new pix. Its drives great. I do still need a alignment but that will happen this Saturday. I personally believe that you should always do the alignment after removing the springs.

I get very minimal rubbing on full suspension compression.

hey large ur yaris looks good thinking about getting the spring techs myslef i love the drop. I was just wondering if you had 195's instead of 205's will it still rub in dips and all

My 6.5" +40 with 195 juuuuuuust graze (you can just see road dust being rubbed) on full bumpstop mashing compresion with the wheels turned, though no damage at all. I just mounted some 7" +40 with 205/50 Toyo RA1's and unfortunatly they are tearing my front wheelwells apart and scuffing the tires pretty bad if the wheel is turned and the front end loads up hard. Drop is Tein S.Tech's with cut bumpstops/stock struts. I'm bummed because I was hoping I could get away with the wheels, but it looks like I'll need +45 and removing that area of wheel well liner to clear it 7" wide rims.
Good luck.

really dam the s techs drop the yari really low i guess but thanks for the info

blueskana · 09-22-2007, 04:09 AM

Mind you that's only worst-case-scenario: shocks mashed flat, tires cut hard, no camber adjustments (as 03Z33 has had success running his car hard with +35's, but camber cranked allowing the wheel/tire to slip inside the wheelwells and clear). I hope you find something that works for you.
I'll try and get some +42, 43 and 45's in 7" to test fit soon and let you know how it goes.
