Today's Corolla is the size of an Accord 10 years ago, which has been a 'mid-sized' car for ~30 years. It's fine for what it is but imho it's not a 'compact' car.

Pretty much all of the 86 wheels fit on the Corolla, same bolt pattern, similar macstruts design. Speed Academy put on 18x9.5+40 with coilovers iirc. I bet it's not any different for the Yaris.
