New Wheels Are On!

Looks 4x4 Style. Needs lowered when I have money :D

Very nice. Aygo's look ace on bigger wider wheels.

Are they Lenso RS5's? I had a black set of them on my old Punto.

A good coat of silicon wheel sealer really helps keep them clean, and stops the top coat from crazing.

I keep thinking about lowering mine, but it rides quite hard already, and the roads round here are cr#p. I think it would liftoff oversteer to easily too !!

Yeah they are Silver RS5's 15" with 195/45/15 Yoko Tyres :) Already been coated with wheel sealer :) But will still have to clean them every weekend :D

My car is now called Big Boots cos when you look at it from the back your like wow that makes a difference :D

[timcrasher]

Bigger is better ;)

I took my big wheels off to clean them, and ran around on my skinny rims for a weekend, 3 weeks ago. It just felt wierd The little tyres were screaming their heads off.

The 195s seem to be quite a popular choice for bigger tyres on this car. How does it handle? Any problems in the wet?

hi when you have people in back of car do your wheels rub on inside of arches ,i have dotz 15" alloys fitted and they rub arches ,any suggestions ,do not want to have arches rolled

[weevicky]

Hey, nah no rubbing at all. As of yet anyway :)

[matty_aygo]

you'll probs get rubbing on your rear aches if you have ppl in the back. If you gunna get lowered you may need to get the rear bumper bolts moved out of the way. That was a problem i encountered wheels look really nice.

r600bbo, what is the offset and rim width of your 15s?

Paul.

The mk1 Yaris has a stock rim width of 5.5 inches, whereas the Aygo uses a 4.5-inch rim, so you've got an extra 0.5 inch of clearance on the Yaris, all other things being equal.

The stock Aygo offset is 37mm, I think, so if you are a lot less than that you might find you are getting close to the arch with the 15s.
