definitely just realized this thread was here.

the specs on the wheels before spacers were 18x9.5 +38.
these are the Hellaflush x Weapon-R 15mm spacers:



Before:





after:









the final specs on the wheels after spacers are 18x9.5 +38F/23R.

camber bolts and slip-on 5mm or 8mm spacers coming for the fronts, um...whenever i get money. haha.

if you want spacers that just bolt on over the stock studs so you don't have to worry about replacing/shortening them, obviously don't purchase these or any other 15mm spacers with pressed studs. you will have to shorten your stock studs or replace them with shorter ones.

I believe there shouldnt be any problems as long as the wheel has recesses on the mounting surface in between the bolt holes like the stock wheels do

Tire specs? Did you roll your fenders? What springs are you on?

so basically you put this over your stock studs and tighten them down and put the wheel back on??

I also have heard about hub spacers but cant find a place that sells them.

^Yes exactly, and you tighten the bolts down the same torque spec like you do the wheel.

hahaha alright. when i get all the funds i shall be

17x8.5 +38 - Front
17x9.5 +28 Rear.

I can go to +17 but i think that would be to much i don't want to pull fenders.

Would i need spacers for the front wheels for them to be flushed?

Have you gotten familiar with this https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=142934
IDK of the chart being dead on but should be used as a guide. You'll find your answer there.

i think the front will be a good functional agressive
if anything you could throw in a 5 mm slip on but see how you like +38 first it should fill in the wheel well nicely

i have 18x10 +35 in the front before and had a good bit of poke


17x8.5 +38 would be roughly.... 23 mm in from that, so about an inch in

I thinking about running a 225/45/17 tire on my stock rims, do you guys think I would have any issues running a 15mm spacer in front and 20mm in back with the larger tire?

Well hopefully some 15mm spacers are arriving tomorrow and I'll be able to see if I'll have any rubbing in the front. If so the 15s are goin on the rear and I'll just get 10s for the front.

Its gonna be a tight fit on the rear though, that fender lip is really annoying. Been doing a lot of research on fender rolling though, so I might be doing that....

turns out my 15mm eBay hubcentric spacers wont get here till Thursday....

I'm starting to get hesitant about putting them on now though... safety is a huge concern for me and even though they are hubcentric, the eBay thing still makes me nervous

I rarely put ebay parts on my car I am really not sure why I decided settling was okay this time haha... I think I had drank a beer or two.... this is the same cause of me deciding a red tow hook was a good idea
