I hope to onbe day have a low drop via springs or coils in my long term dream.

will these suit an undropped yaris or not?

they are +15 offset

Midnight Drifter · 12-11-2010, 04:52 AM

Totally not feeling that style, sorry man.

But an SSR Mk. III would be dope as hell.

i sayyyy nayyy also~

33OH · 12-11-2010, 07:35 AM

Jen - if they are 7" wide, they will fit (will rub some, may need to add camber, etc. - but it's very possible).

If they are 8" wide, I'd stay away.

BTW - those wheels are cheap, you can get a brand new set with tires on Honda-Tech for what he's asking.

Kaotic Lazagna · 12-11-2010, 03:58 PM

Nay, offset doesn't fit the width, so you'll be flushed, but you'll have a hard time finding tires that will stretch, so you'll have rubbing problems without some minor fender work.

33OH · 12-11-2010, 06:33 PM

Easy to find tires that will stretch. :)

Kaotic Lazagna · 12-11-2010, 08:46 PM

hahaha, for some reason, I thought those were 17x7. But yeah, if they're 16x7, I guess it's a little easier to find narrower tires than for 17x7.x rims.

with tires that start at 195? What are you going to recommend a 165/16?

I agree they aren't really good looking either.

eww, that looks terrible. I mean if you are going to stretch at least make it a tire and wheel that is worth it.

hahahaha, that's why I thought it was going to be hard finding a tire that can stretch over a smaller width. I think the rims would look good...on a classic Japanese car tho.

why? · 12-12-2010, 10:51 AM

I mean the two tires that link you had was nanking and kumho. You can trust kumho tires usually, I'd never trust nanking to my safety.

But to me if you are going to stretch, get a nice set of at least 8 inch wide wheels.

But more to the point if the OP, is +15 safe on a Yaris? I think you'd be risking rubbing even on a stock height car.

I know though someone is running around with zero offset here.

33OH · 12-12-2010, 08:53 PM

I ran 15x7's with +19 offset and lowered, only rubbed with more than 2 people in the car. If I had stretched tires I wouldn't have rubbed.

33OH · 12-13-2010, 09:27 AM

These are 15x8 +15.

why? · 12-13-2010, 04:30 PM

cool beans, so they would work for the OP.

Flipper_1938 · 12-13-2010, 04:40 PM

!

33OH · 12-13-2010, 04:47 PM

^Also an inch wider than the ones the OP is questioning though.

ilikerice · 12-13-2010, 04:49 PM

33OH,
im assuming that your fenders are rolled and the wheel plastic liners in the wheel wells are removed right?

33OH · 12-13-2010, 04:53 PM

Rear fenders are hand-rolled (just the inside lip), plastic fender liners are in-tact.

33OH · 12-13-2010, 04:54 PM

Btw - my car is the Meteorite one above, not the black one.
