Wheels Of 1999 Yaris

[haris the yaris]

i have a 1999 1.0 petrol jap import yaris. the wheels on it at the moment are 15" oz originals ET27. the car isnt handling right, can anyone tell me the correct wheels for this car.

ET 38-45 is often quoted for the Yaris.

My Mk2 15" wheels are ET45 but I think the esrlier ones were ET38.

Anything in the ET38-45 range should be OK - sounds like you are running with the wrong offset unless you have spacers fitted to compensate.

But - I'm surprised you notice it that much when driving normally. Maybe the bushes are worn and ned replacing or it needs wheel alignment...

Could be a number of things that cause strange handling....

thanks for the reply i couldnt find anywere what the offset should be. there was originally a set of toyota 13" steel wheels on the car and it handled perfect, it only changed when i put the alloys on, i prob notice it more because there is no power steering in the car, i think im going to just put the steel wheels on again.

Offset of 38 is listed for the MK1 Yaris, I have had a new set of 15" Calibre Vertigo alloys fitted in the last few weeks and I am sure the offset is 45. Handling is about the same as before but better on harder cornering due to wheel width being 195 with a lower sidewall profile. As said before, If you stick to offet 38-45 then you will be fine. The PCD is 100 by the way.
