Wheel fitment question
Hello, I am a fan of yaris and in the market to get one. but i was curious to know the widest wheel and lowest offset that i could use on a liftbacks? my preference is flushness rather than performance. and yes, the car would be one some type of coilovers.. so any ideas or pics??

there are members doing 17 x 7 without issues. I believe they run up to 205 width tires.
if you have too much positive offset on the wheel, you can always use 10mm or 15mm spacers to flush it out. Note that on the Yaris, the rear wheels appear to tuck more than the fronts with the same wheels.

sweet. thanks for the tip, but still would like to run something a bit wider if possible. does anyone run like 8 width with close to, say ~0 offset? anyone know if there are hub adapters to run 4x114.3 also?

My 17x7 38+ offsets were quite flush in the front. You could add a 10mm spacer in the back to even them out.

Contact 03Z33 or Walter on here. They have ran very flushed wheels/tires on their LB's.

I have 17x8 with +35 on mine and 205/45/17 tires and it is kinda stretched and rubs on bumps with the DF210s.I have learned to ignore it and drive slow on speed bumps.I wider tire would be torn up in days on my setup,as would my fenders.

The Vitz doesn't accommodate anything too radical very well... and remain a good daily driver.
Here's 17x7's and 205/40's on Tien modified suspension. FR, ET42//RR, ET35 It's a nice clean fitment with no worries. |

Curious: What is the point in wider wheels when you're basically limited to 205 rubber?

crandall runs tenzoR rims that are 17x7 with a 35 offset and 215 tires he's slammed on tein basics but rubs on bumps or hard corners... i really dont think an 8" wide rim is a great idea on a yaris....esp w/ a 0 offset.....it looks like poop and does nothing for driveability

again, i'm not interested in driveability. i have a car that i track, so i'm just there for look.
and i never said i'm looking to run wider rubber. i'm looking for a better STRETCH. 195/45 is cool for an 8. and i look for lower offset on wheels because i like concave wheels or wheels with lip. is that a problem? |
