ok... we all know about the onetongarage shims that van sells which are very nice...



however... i was lookin for something that would change my camber just a little bit more to get more of a VIP look like this... angled shims



anybody know where i can get these angled shims?? here in the states....

Van actually is making those Camber/ Spacer shims. I do beleive those are in the works. I would email him about it though.

lmao...why would anyone want that much camber on their tires....if you as me you should go buy a civic and keep that rice where it belongs

djct_watt

as much as I agree with you xBofMNx, this guy was askin for help. . . anybody know where to get these things?

Personally I think they are gawd awful (and that's me biting my tongue). But if you really really like them, why not. . .

I'd get camber plates...the ones that go on top of the struts. The camber shim bolts are dying to snap. A special someone might start selling custom camber plates. We'll just have to wait and see! :D

Those camber plates have their purpose and there is nothing ricey about them, maybe if you running them with your 7.5x17" +45 offset wheels, other wise more props to who ever run them !!!
Van is in the process of making them but they are his last priority since there is not that much need for them here in US, you need some wide rims with very low offset, otherwise they look stupid !!! Sean

Just what is that purpose other than really goofy tire wear? I don't get it.

and this is coming from someone in minnesota, land of the true jdm style tuners....

anywho.... i talked to van and he HAD made some just like this (it is what he used on the white xb on the front page of www.onetongarage.com). he is in the process of redesigning them.

any other help as to whoelse may make these would be greatly appreciated.

all other comments can be left in your moms pants with the crabs....

The main purpose is to fit wider wheels in the back without any kinda rubbing, also they used them alot in drifting but with scion its all about look, and that would be getting the VIP look but you want a wheel with atleast 8.5" width otherwise it will look gooofy !!! by the way if by looking at them it reminds you of tire wear then you are in wrong section , gotta pay to play !! Sean

xBMNx

well if that’s JDM I want no part in it...like I said before the only place I could see using something like this would be on a trailer queen show car otherwise be prepare for buying new tires a whole lot faster than you would with out them....as for the rice comment yes they are rice because there not practical (imo) and yes I regret ever owning a scion if this is the way that the owners are going to be looked upon

JasonH

Just for reference:





That's the kind of look he's going for.

i could definitely use some of those. my passenger side back wheels rubs pretty bad. I dont want anything too much, maybe like 5 degrees. and yes i am very rice. so hate all you want.

djct_watt

if you want to ghetto mod it, you could always just ram a curb really hard

If you go for the full look, power to you. Looks good on show cars.

hahajoey

the purpose of cambering wheels is cuz they're too wide to just
sit normal! what kinda rims are u trying to put on where it requires
you to camber?

as for VIP stance, its a badass look, but u wihtout the right rims, right
tires, and right ridehieght, it'll be cheap. not to mention u might wanna
run the cusco camber plates in front so u can camber the front as well.

I think I need a 3 degree camber shim kit anybody selling them? I e-mailed Van but no reply yet...

Just to make sure, is anyone running 18" x 8.5" 20mm offset with a 3 degree camber?

projxB

yeah i think 3 degrees would be better for me. I dont want anything tooo noticable or over the top. just so i can at least put other people in my car besides myself and not rub. ya know what im saying..

tell van me and you have a group buy of 2!! and he'll definitely do it. :D wheres that guy been recently anyways.

edit: and i already have the cusco camber plates in the front so im ready freddy.

ChefRaekwon

Oh those are useful. If you need them apparently your to low or you have no idea how to buy wheels with the proper offset.

projxB

thats me... im too low and i have no idea how to buy wheels with the proper offset. i need help.

MyBoX

You are cool Ryan !!!

MyBoX

Toy xbox, did you get new wheels ?? Which style did you decide to go with ?? Sean
