16" rims

I have a 2008 yaris hatchback and I'm looking to get new rims in size 16. What is the best size and offset for 16's? I want it to look flush with the fenders, I do not plan on having any fender work done. Also, does anyone have pics of a 16x8 +25 on their yaris? Thanks.

16x8+25 should be ok!

I have 15x7 ET20 and the front is just underneath the fenders (with 185/40/15 tyres)

So the one you said should fit almost the same! (I used some spacers in the rear to let the rear pop out a bit :D)

this ^^^

16x8 +25 is a good size to be flush with the fenders. However I would recommend going with a wider wheel and a higher offset to allow a bigger tire stretch. 195 is about as thin as you want to go and if you stretch that on an 8" wheel its pretty chunky and could still rub. a 16x9 +35 or so would give you about the exact same effective sizing as 16x8 +25 but would give you more stretch to really clear the fenders since you wont be doing any fender work. 195 on a 9 is beyond a safe stretch lol I daily 205/40 on 10 with 0 issues

Hmmmm... With a +45mm et, I suppose there should be no fender rubbing problems if lowered...

I assume no rubbing on the inside wells when turning?

No rubbing. Toyota specs them for 195 width tires, so lowered 205's might rub.
