What does w/16 and w/15 mean? - Toyota Yaris Forums

phamvh · 09-12-2013, 12:45 AM

I have a 2012 hatchback LE Yaris. Need to shop for parts (fender liner) but on websites, they give two options: "w/15 wheels" and "w/16 wheels". What do these mean? And how/where do I find out about this information for my car?
Thanks

That's the wheel diameter. You can find that out by looking at your tires. There should be 3 numbers somewhere that read xxx/xx/xx. The last "xx" is where the wheel diameter will be indicated. So look for 15 or 16 there.

Aw, thanks. Do you think the bumper cover depends on the wheel diameter? Looks like the fender liner does because they have 2 options for it.

It shouldn't, at least for my sedan. I'm not sure if Toyota took the time and effort to make two separate fender liners for the 3rd gens. I really don't think there would be a difference, and would just go with the cheaper of the two.
