I thought they look pretty nice. Guess to each his own.

I'm just not a fan of any dual-drilled road wheels.

So the holes bother, not the design of the wheel.

Hello guys, I need a little help here, because I did not come with an answer while searching.


Reference wheel fitment is this one (offered by TTE, so it is a perfect fit for the Yaris): Picture
Specs for the above pictured wheel are: 16x7" and ET45.


So, having in mind that tire size will definitely be 195/50/R16, which is the lowest offset that the wheel should have?


For example, the Work CR-Kai is 16x7" with ET44, which would fit perfectly, but the O.Z. Ultraleggera has ET37. Would ET37 be OK with the specified tire size?


The car is currently not lowered, but it might be lowered (no more than 1.2") in the future.

Thanks in advance!

No problems after I took the 10 mm spacers !

O.Z. Ultraleggera - 195/50/R16 - ET37

derickveliz2, you have a very nice sedan

With ET37 wheels and 10mm spacers you actually got an effective ET27 (if I am not mistaken) and you had no problem with that? Sounds weird!

I did have rubbing issues with 10mm spacers. without them no more rubbing.

I'm sorry I should have been more specific!

NO spacers = NO rubbing

Ok, now I get it!
I also hope that the hatchback (which is what I have) has the same space under the fenders as the sedan!

Thanks for helping!

16x7, ET37, 195/50/16 will be a good fit. ET37 is the lowest offset I would trecommend with 195's.

kimona is right on the dime! also if you consider lowering your car, the front wheels get very close to the fenders. If you are planing to lower your car by a lot, be aware of the limits with ET37

2 cts.

Hello Guys,

i need to change stock tires size 165/70/14 BS of my Japanese vitz with 185/60/15

I already got japan vitz OEM 15 rims...

Can anyone tell me..which is ideal replacement size for 15" based on my stock tires 165/70/14..

will it cause any problems with suspension shocks, speedo ratings etc?

thanks!

Not sure what you mean by a "bit thin" but these sizes generally work very well:

Tyre Size = Diameter (inches)
175/65/14 = 23.0
185/65/14 = 23.5
195/65/14 = 24.0
195/60/14 = 23.2
205/60/14 = 23.7
215/60/14 = 24.2

Those are the diameter figures for the wheel and tire package they are next to.

ie: 185/65/14 = 23.5 would mean a 185/65 tire mounted on a 14" rim would be pretty darn close to 23.5 inches in total diameter.
