@@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...
Thanks Milos! I figured some people would have liked it in English 😂 For some reason on the Hanshin-Imports French version, TH-cam doesn’t not allow me to auto-translate the content! 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
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
9.5 all round in my opinion. To my untrained eye the rear looks like they would swallow 10" wide but then again what do I know 😅 Nevertheless, the TC105X look beautiful 😍 Great choice Jesse. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Xmas.
Hey Man! Thanks for your comment 🙏🏻👍🏼The arches are very wide yes. But I think its in front where it will rub on the inside/suspension. You too, all the best for 2023 and merry Christmas ❄️❄️❄️
Hi, thanks for your comment. I got the Circuit Pack (you can see my video I made about it). And yes of course I have my mrs 😊👍🏼 I was waiting for exhaust parts so I will be making that soon 👍🏼
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.
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?
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)
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.
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…. 😂
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.
@@adrianfairfield5520 hi, thanks for the comment. I am working with Yokohama so for street I would use the new Ad09, track would be a052 but I might even go with Yoko slicks this year depending on what races I do. I don’t plan to goo too wide 255 on a 9.5 or 245 on a 9…

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?

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.

@@theserbian1 hi, why are you using exclamation marks? I don’t know if you are asking a question or stating a view point? Please rephrase with adequate punctuation and I will happily answer you if its a question 👍🏼
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. :)
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…
@@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 - 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?
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!

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.

Hello, yes they are. In Switzerland if you don’t have 7 full windings of the thread, they cannot be road legal. This corresponds to current homologation standards
@@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.
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.

@@theserbian1 how about you make a video about tire size? Instead of asking for information and not bringing anything to the table ( with a very unpleasant tone)! 😂 fun aside, tire size is a separate matter/video. I could make a video about it but honestly with the racing season coming, I am a bit overwhelmed right now. To be honest, I have a perfect (in my opinion) race proven setup (tire size)where i raced 9 races with in 2023 with the 9.5s and it even passed inspection for the street! But with ungrateful people like you, I have no desire to share it 👍🏼😊
Hi, thanks for your comment. However its too vague. Each tire brand is different. Some are wider than others. 255 seems like a better option to me if you are worried for clearance
Hi, I have no idea to be honest. I don’t know what ET style is… All I can say is that they take 60deg conical lug nuts that have a 19mm socket to install them. Hope this helps. 🤞🏻
@@JesseSpec Sorry, I meant extended thread. They would have a 60 deg seat but also have a part that goes through the lug hole for more thread engagement. The GR Yaris is known to have shorter studs right? Would the expectation be to run these with extended studs to get the proper thread engagement?
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!
Stock OEM is the best setup. It was specced, setup and tested by WRC champions, after all. BBS forged wheels are perfect weight Don't reinvent the wheel.
Oem spec is good. But sorry the Wedssport is better in every metric than the bbs forged. Even price wise (for stock size, if thats your cup of tea). Nobody reinventing the wheel here 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ As Collin Chapman said: « Light is right! » Remember that!
Hi, I don’t think so. Think about it, it would be 2.4cm further out that the ones I like 18x9.5 +45. I don’t see that fitting and looking good/performing well.
It definitely does. There are people having 17x9 and 17x9.5. More rubber apsorbs better road imperfection plus less unsprung mass. But people always go for looks instead of drivebility. Only advantige with 18 is there is more room for brakes 18" can take up to 380mm brake. Unless going to bigger brakes 17 is sweatspot.
My OEM CIrcuit pack wheels, balanced and done, are 8.3kg each. Also, if we're going to get a look at previews of wider wheels on cars (end of video) let's compare all wheels on either stock height or lowered cars. The 8x18 on stock GR Yaris suspension vs the wider ones on lowered cars will trick a few peoples eyes. Just pointing it out. Correctness in information is important.
Hi, Maybe you can help to provide the photos of all these wheels on stock cars? I’ll happily redo the video with your photos. Sorry buddy, but such luxury is Not always available. Maybe you haven’t realised, but this isn’t a multi million dollar TH-cam channel. I operate with what I have, and your comment doesn’t really take that into account… I don’t know where you found 8.3kg… but thats not what I found🤷🏻 But Even then, these wheels are nearly half the price and easily a kg lighter in equal size of the stock forged ones… so although I appreciate your fact checking, in the end it doesn’t change the end result of the information provided through this video. Do you really think my goal is to trick people? 😂
So the big question! What should I take? 18x9.0 or 18x9.5??? What do you think? Comment 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
I went with 18x.9 with a 45 offset. My tires are 255/40R18.

Instead of asking for information and not bringing anything to the table ( with a very unpleasant tone)! 😂 fun aside, tire size is a separate matter/video. I could make a video about it but honestly with the racing season coming, I am a bit overwhelmed right now.
To be honest, I have a perfect (in my opinion) race proven setup (tire size)where i raced 9 races with in 2023 with the 9.5s and it even passed inspection for the street!
But with ungrateful people like you, I have no desire to share it 👍🏼😊
Will the 18x9.5/et45 with 265/35/18 fit on stock step up without issues? Like arch or damper rubbing.
Hi, thanks for your comment.
However its too vague. Each tire brand is different. Some are wider than others. 255 seems like a better option to me if you are worried for clearance
@@JesseSpec What about wheel spacers on standard car, what's your thoughts on them for long term use?
@@chiyoungchan352 i would never use spacers!
what do you think 18x9.5j +45 on stock suspenaion setup? Any rub?
It works well with that size. No rubbing on my car
How would the handling be with 18x9.5 +45 in front and 18x10 +45 in the rear?
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
Do wedssport wheels have large enough lug holes to take ET style conical lug nuts?
Hi, I have no idea to be honest. I don’t know what ET style is…
All I can say is that they take 60deg conical lug nuts that have a 19mm socket to install them. Hope this helps. 🤞🏻
@@JesseSpec Sorry, I meant extended thread. They would have a 60 deg seat but also have a part that goes through the lug hole for more thread engagement.
The GR Yaris is known to have shorter studs right? Would the expectation be to run these with extended studs to get the proper thread engagement?
Hallo habt ihr mal 17 x9.0 ET 45 probiert? Ich würde gerne bisschen mehr Gummi fahren habe auch andere Felgen in 17 Zoll auf den Yaris gesehen.
Hallo, Ich habe mal eine 17x8 oder 17x9 et49 probiert aber der brake caliper kommt an bein den TC105X 🥲
How about 9.5 at three rear and 9.0 at the front?
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!
Stock OEM is the best setup. It was specced, setup and tested by WRC champions, after all. BBS forged wheels are perfect weight Don't reinvent the wheel.
.............unless of course you have a vested interest in selling AM rims!
@@gaycha6589 never heard of them ;-)
Oem spec is good. But sorry the Wedssport is better in every metric than the bbs forged. Even price wise (for stock size, if thats your cup of tea). Nobody reinventing the wheel here 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
As Collin Chapman said: « Light is right! » Remember that!
18x 8.5 et36 It is recommended for daily use?
Hi, it will work but make sure the wheel design you chose actually clears the brake calipers 😊👍🏼
What size gr yaris can use for 19" or maybe 20"
Does anyone had change into 19 or 20" wheel??🙄
Hey man! Don’t put big wheels on that car hahaha its a wrc car not a VIP limousine. 18 is perfect 👍🏼
Ok, i"ll go with 18x9.5 with 45 offset....what tyre size do you recomend 255 or 265??
Hi, thanks for the video. I wanna ask; is 18x8.0 compatible with Hyundai i20 N ?
Hi, I am not sure but at my company I have sold some for hyundais in the past.
Would a 18x9 et25 fit on a gr yaris?
Hi, I don’t think so. Think about it, it would be 2.4cm further out that the ones I like 18x9.5 +45. I don’t see that fitting and looking good/performing well.
What tyre size do I need to about rubbing on stock car ?... 9.5 and 9 rim ?
I like 255/35 on my GR Yaris
@@JesseSpec thanks . This will fit either 9 or 9.5 without rubbing . Are you using 255 on a 9 or 9.5
@@webbieuk on 9.5 it doesn’t rub on mine- 4cm lowered. Pretty sure the 9s will even risk rubbing less
@Jesse Spec - Car Guy Channel is that what I need on 9.5 ? 255.35 18
@@webbieuk dude, did you read my comments above? Hahaha yes
Which 17" variants fit?
Hi, none that I Know of, I am afraid
And who is the manufacturer of the rim, and is there an approval for the rim in Germany.
Hi, its Weds Wheels Japan. They don’t have a TUV certificate
Ideal size is 255 40 17x9.5
Does that clear the big brake kit? I am not sure to be honest
It definitely does. There are people having 17x9 and 17x9.5. More rubber apsorbs better road imperfection plus less unsprung mass. But people always go for looks instead of drivebility. Only advantige with 18 is there is more room for brakes 18" can take up to 380mm brake. Unless going to bigger brakes 17 is sweatspot.
@@jurcicmax237 did you try this with the wedssport TC105X in 17inch???
@@JesseSpec nope. I was talking about wheel size in general not exactly tc105x
@@jurcicmax237 😂😂😂 oh well, thanks for your input anyway 👍🏼
Thanks for the upload. You are late to the party = "Promosm" !!
Hi, what do you mean? I made this video because I get asked this question everyday at work: what wheel size do you recommend for the GR Yaris?"
My OEM CIrcuit pack wheels, balanced and done, are 8.3kg each. Also, if we're going to get a look at previews of wider wheels on cars (end of video) let's compare all wheels on either stock height or lowered cars. The 8x18 on stock GR Yaris suspension vs the wider ones on lowered cars will trick a few peoples eyes. Just pointing it out. Correctness in information is important.
Hi, Maybe you can help to provide the photos of all these wheels on stock cars?
I’ll happily redo the video with your photos. Sorry buddy, but such luxury is Not always available. Maybe you haven’t realised, but this isn’t a multi million dollar TH-cam channel. I operate with what I have, and your comment doesn’t really take that into account… I don’t know where you found 8.3kg… but thats not what I found🤷🏻 But Even then, these wheels are nearly half the price and easily a kg lighter in equal size of the stock forged ones… so although I appreciate your fact checking, in the end it doesn’t change the end result of the information provided through this video. Do you really think my goal is to trick people? 😂
Name one aftermarket wheel reseller who gives correct OEM wheel weights.
Is the information provided wrong?
