Yaris Sr On 17s ?

[yarissr]

I have a 2001 Yaris SR with the standard TTE Springs which i beleive to be lowered 30mm .... not v.sure.

Just wondering if it is possible to fit 17s on without much problems or would i need to change the suspensions as well ..... i am just worried of any rubbing especially if i have 3 at the back and any other modification to the bodywork (arches etc).

on 30mm drop you will get scrubbage when you hit a pothole and i will scrape with folks in the back

Well it did that on mine without it being lowered. I added Grayston Coil Spring Assistors to the back wheels and it totally sorted the problem out even with the car fully loaded.

My question now tho is if I were to lower the car, I wonder if the graystons would still protect the wheels?

will 17s on a standard t sport cause any probs with 1) jst me in the car and 2) ovas in the car

[jaxx]

assuming its not lowered then you should get minimal problems

[Chuck04]

still standard, 20 mm drop

[jaxx]

should get away with it then bar the extreme cases of fully loaded with folk and then hitting a pot hole

thanks !

may need to look into Grayston Coil Spring Assistors then ......

any idea where i can get ? as i definately do not want any scrubbages as where my gf lives - the place is full of speed bumps and potholes !!!

Hmm... mine's hardly slammed (Koni claim -40mm over standard) but going from 15x6 to 15x7 has incurred the wrath of the scrubbage god on both rear tyres... :(

also remember to take into account wheel offsets. Anything like 35mm and they are going to cause headaches. on 17's I think a 40mm offset would help a lot when trying to keep them away from those arches
