Need help with TEIN S-tech
Iam planning to install a set of TEIN's S-Tech on my 2009 Yaris sedan but I don't know if Iam going to have rubbing problems with my 205/50/16 tires,(offset 42,american racing Haze rims)...should I have to go down to 205/45/16 tires??I live in Peru so the roads are not that good.
Thanks, all ideas are welcome Sebastian |

You should be fine as long as you drive slower with that setup.
It would also help if you did a strut upgrade to minimize the bouncing, which should eliminate what's left of the rubbing issue.

If it is of any help, I'm on s techs and stock 15s w/ stock tires and stock shocks and I have only rubbed on the liner once or twice very lightly at like 50 mph on a big sharp dip.
Idk how much this really helps you but just thought I'd share my experience.... |

I use the Tanabe DF210 lowering springs on 205/50/16 and I rub usually while pulling u-turns at low speeds.

After the advice probably I should go to down to 45īs to avoid rubbing issues...thanks for the help

I'm running on 205/45/17. You will be fine. Other then the obvious speed bumps, sharp dips no problems here.
