New Rims For The Auris

[Speed_Chaser]

I am searching new rims for my Auris, and what I like best for now are TSW Snettertons

I am thinking should I take 17'' or 18'' and what size and profile of the tyres should I choose to get a comfortable but also sporty and good-looking ride.

Ready to consider the lovering springs, especially with 18''. What do you guys think?

I will also have to sell my previous tires and rims, which are normal 205/55/16'' and the rims are non-aluminium. (The cheapest version, with caps).

Does anyone know the exact size of those Toyotas original rims (offset, ET...)

Thanks for your help!

Hello have put 18" alloys with 225/40/18 low profile tyres on my auris with toyota lowering springs, was going to put 225/35/18 low profile tyres on but the tyre fitter told me these tyres would make it a very uncomfortable ride. The wheels are 8Jx18 alloys. Hope this helps

Have any pics? And is it comfortable enough with those 225/40 tyres?

This is a picture of my 18" alloys with 30mm TMS lowering springs on my auris. Since this picture was taken I have now got the full kit on!

The 225/40/18 tyres are a very comfortable ride.

Ah, now I get it. First thought that you meant shock absorbers... :D BTW that second pic is quite small!
