What is the ideal wheel size for Toyota GR Yaris? 18x8.0?18x9.0?18x9.5? Lets check Wedssport TC105X

[@JesseSpec]

So the big question! What should I take? 18x9.0 or 18x9.5??? What do you think? Comment 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

[@jonathanb1987]

I went with 18x.9 with a 45 offset. My tires are 255/40R18.

@@jonathanb1987 Good choice! How does it fit with the 255's on the 9s? Thats what I have on my 9.5's and its already very meaty!

[@jonathanb1987]

@@JesseSpec they work great. I love the meaty look. And it protects the wheel better too. 9.5 would have fit but if I dropped an inch with coil overs in the future, I might have needed to roll my fenders or adjust my camber. The STI already comes with -1.7 degrees of camber.

I’m a bit late to the conversation but, have been running TC105X in 9.5x18 et38 in Australia for almost 2 years now. I run 255/35R18 Yoko V105 on the road and ran 265/35R18 Yoko 052 for track. I did get some rubbing at the rear with the 052 265s, even with -2.5 camber, and this would be better with an et45 offset. I have no rub at all at the front with -3.0 camber on the 052 265s. The V105 255s have no rub at all in any alignment. I also have a set of TWS T66-F forged wheels in 9.5x18 et 40. I’ve chosen to run 255/35R18 RE71RS on these to avoid rubbing. Last point to consider is competition rules. Some modified production classes say you can only run +1 inch wheels over OEM. If I knew that before buying mine I would have stayed with the 9s. 9.5 with 052 265 look the best by far with the car lowered 30mm.

Hi! Thanks for your extensive input! Very interesting. I have been using 255 on my 18x9.5 +45 Setup and I really like it. Even if it comes a bit close to the suspension strutt...

[@melbguy1]

Personally I like 18"x9"+45 offset with 245/35 R18 tyres, though it's harder to find good lightweight, flow formed wheels in that size. The Wedssport TC105X wheels look like an excellent option and look good

[@JesseSpec]

I 100% agree with you. Its probably ideal when comparing overall weight and the width it gives you 👍🏼

18x9.0 with 45 offset w/ 245 tyres look epic

I agree. I sold that setup a few times. It looks good! Last week with the Yokohama AD09 in 245 🔥👍🏼

[@adrianfairfield5520]

I run the tc105x 18x9.5 with AR-1 265 tyres and also the forged version in 18x8.5 +43 with CR-S 235 tyres. I think 9.5 with 265 is overkill for most as you will struggle to get tyres up to temp. The other consideration is the weight of the tyres which go up very quickly with increased width.

[@JesseSpec]

Hi, excellent! Thanks for the input. I was thinking 9.5s on 255 or even 245 with a stretch hahaha what do you think? It might look a bit dumb on 245…. 😂

[@adrianfairfield5520]

Also keep in mind reduced strut clearance which can be an issue if you want more camber. Which tyre are you looking at? Willtheyfit is a good site to compare sizes.

Hey buddy! Thank you and hello from Switzerland 🇨🇭! To be honest, I tried 17inch wheels from wedssport to test fit them (close to stock width and offset and on the front it didn’t work)

[@chrissimnz]

Great video. How much negative camber can you get when running a 9.5 on the front, without conflicting with the strut plus a bit of wriggle room? I'm looking to upgrade the stock BBS but I want to preserve the ability to run up to 3.5 degrees w/255 tyre.

[@JesseSpec]

Hi, Thanks for your comment. I honestly think that should fit. I know guys running the same wheel setup with 265 and with 2-3° negative camber. It should work fine. How do you adjust your camber on your car?

[@劉高和-q5q]

Great video! Really informative! I am also interested to know what’s the maximum and minimum camber degree we can set up for front and rear if we are running 18x9.5 with et45 and with 255 tyre (say ad09) on GR Yaris? That’s the size I plan to run but want to make sure the camber can be flexible enough for both road and track use (e.g. from 1.5~3.5 degree negative camber)

[@JesseSpec]

Hi, thanks for your comment. There are too many variables that will influence this. First of all: strutt thickness in front will limit you Second of all: ride height also influences how much clearance And other factors. But probably -3 should be ok. The only way to be sure is buy wheels, tires and suspension. Adjust and try. There is no 100% sure answer 😉👍🏼

[@adamski1400]

18x8.5 seems a good compromise for road/track to me, which is better for handling +32 offset or +45 like oem?

[@JesseSpec]

Honestly, I think the offset 45 (43 on the tc105x) will probably handle better

[@micsub]

​@@JesseSpec 👍 Yes I have them in 18 x 8.5 ET 43 with 235/40/18 Yokohama A052 tyres. Really really a huge improvement in feel & grip without losing the OEM balance.

[@micsub]

Yes, I agree, except fo the +32 offset which I think is excessive. It appears to many that this car doesn't like anything above 10mm total offset. I have the TC105X in 18 x 8.5 ET +43 with 235/40/18 Yokohama A052 tyres. Really really a huge improvement in feel & grip without losing the OEM balance. This gives you exactly 8mm extra offset than OEM wheels.

[@JesseSpec]

@@micsub great to hear! It makes sense since you are very close to the stock offset 45 😉👌🏼🔥

[@binskee677]

You video was very informative and i have learned a few new thing! I want to put these on the Yaris too and i have the same dilemma. It think if you are mostly doing street driving 18x9 with 245 (or 255) would be more than enough right? And it's probably less expensive, wheel and tires as well, and narrower tires are probably better when it comes to Aquaplaning etc and a Yaris has to be driven in the Rain and all conditions. Does the weight of the tire have an impact too or is that negligible? and what about the impact on the stock suspension setup when you have have wider (probably) more grippier tires? Well that's at least what my thoughts were, happy to get more inputs. :)

[@JesseSpec]

I pretty much tend to think 9 is better for the street too. Its a bit less extreme. The weight of the tire plays a big role since its on the extremity of the wheels, so it will have an impact for sure. Also each tire brand/model has a different weight so one needs to chose wisely. Regarding the stock suspension setup, if you mean geometry then probably the good thing of having stock offset is you don’t change it. However I am not say getting a new and more agressive geometry wont improve the handling ;-) its always a game of trial and error…

[@binskee677]

@@JesseSpec i was thinking more about spring rates than the geometry but hey i'm not an expert haha. I think i would go for the same tires in 245's (PS4S) as i'm not driving on track with this one ... for now at least. BTW for winter tires i am running ET40 instead of 45 and it feels not much worse (wheels are ofc a bit heavier) but looks already much better haha

Hi, No idea but it doesn’t seem like a good idea given the fact that from the factory it comes with a square setup

[@bhoppertube]

Hi - would you recommend the 18x9 or 18x9.5 for a Nankang AR-1 255/35/18 tyre? Track use only. Also, would you recommend hub-centric centre caps for track use, or will they centre well enough without?

[@JesseSpec]

Hi, thanks for you comment! Up coming video will show you exactly what I will run. One thing is sure, I am going with the 9.5s! No need for hub centrics! Not using them and never have with all my weds wheels! Race or street, not going to use rings on my weds 👍🏼 Regarding the AR1, I sadly don’t know how wide they really are. All I can say is that the YOKOHAMAs fit perfectly in 255 😊🔥

[@LifeSOSlive]

Question i have not neen able to get an answer to; im tirn between 9.5 and 9" wide, i love the looks of 9.5", have seen it in person, but i like the weight of the 9 with 245 tires. Assuming same offset, between the 9 and 9.5, do the just maje the hub thicker to maintain offset on the wider wheel, or are the spokes sucked in further and there is a larger lip on the 9.5? If you could answer this that all i need to know to pull trigger on a set finally. Cheers, tranny appreciate your detailed walkthru!

[@JesseSpec]

Hi! Thanks for you comment. The 18x9 and the 18x9.5 have an identical front face. Its baril width that changes. I would honestly never go back from the 18x9.5 +45 👍🏼😉

How about 9.5 at three rear and 9.0 at the front?

[@JesseSpec]

Hi, good question! Let me give you my opinion on this. Its maybe not everybodys mindset but anyway. I would not mix widths front on rear for the following reasons: - its not like that from the factory - even if you manage to find identical external diameter tires, I tend to say a 4x4 will not like it due to the differences in potential rotational speed and also torque/weight difference. - it would probably make the car even less tail happy, which is clearly not what I want 😉 Hope this helps!
