Question Wheels size?

I looking at several ENKEI wheels and found "tirerack website" two sizes for the 2007 yaris HB.

15 x 6.5 195/50/15 (car)

16 x 7 205/40/16 (car)

I've decided that I like the 15" or 16" v/s 17" or 18" primarily because I'm using my Yaris as a daily driver. I'm not completly sure about the 6.5 or 7 any comments? Would the 6.5 be better than the 7?

Thanks
Ron

195/50r15 = wrong for Yaris, if you are going 15x6.5 I would go 205/55r15, relitivly low priced tire, and will run flush with a 6.5 inch wide wheel, as well as staying very close to the stock diameter tire... this same size tire would run fine on a 15x7 wheel as well
and if you want to run a 16 inch wheel I would go 215/45r16to get the closest overall diameter and fit nicely on a 7 inch wide wheel

225-50-15 would be a good choice, it is very close to stock diameter, 205's would be way too small, throw the speedo off too much, and it just would not look right

both of those sized are pretty small for a Talon as well 215-60-15 would be more like what you need

Would 195-55-15 be OK (they're close to the stock/optional 185-60-15's in diameter and will fit on the 15 X 5.5 alloys)?

Well I like width and low sidewall. If I have a problem with wheel gap I will just lower it. I am more into how it will handle than how it looks. If I buy a yaris the looks will probley be one of the last things I will do.

There are plenty of 15x7. That is what I recommend on this car.
Personally I run 225's and they fit to my liking. On a car that you drive daily I would stick with 205's or even 215's

suggested tire sizes to stay as close to stock as possible
185-60-15 stock
205-55-15 +1
225-50-15 +2

I will go with 17s, yaris is a 1.5L line-4 supcompact car, 18s are for full size cars, anything beyond 18s are for trucks and SUVs
