So I'm bored, not much new topics so I thought why not, lets ask about spacers. I got Axis Oldskools 15x8 with 195/50/15 on the way and Tanabe DF210s and supposedly fitment is hit and miss, it might not fit or it might b okey, so I thought lets get the info and b ready for order right away if it does not fit, or just order right away
I read searching around that 10mm for back and 5mm for front would make it ideal but what to use ? Where are good quality spacers now ? are fronts different than back ?
Also would camber b helpfull aswell ? -3 or -5 ? it makes it look pretty sick, so do u slap that on top of spacers ? realcamber.com is the place to get, right ?

im not sure of the offset with the Axis Oldschools,
offset is the real issue with the setup your going with.

a 20 offset would be perfect, you wouldn't have to do anything.

also, how much rubbing are you willing to deal with.
i hate rubbing, i don't want "any" at all
camber is sexy and can help you tuck some wide wheels and still be close to the fender.
but, if you don't have you suspention set up right your camber will chew your tires off and fast.
ive been running -3 camber for about 8k miles with no uneven were and ive only lost 2/32 of tread.
in my opinion you real need coilovers to help get your toe correct, thats what real does the tire dammage

oh and yes, realcamber is the new guy on the block and there stuff is ones you want

the offset is +25
I can't get coilovers this year, too much money into box so far, so I'm stuck with springs, your $800 coilovers are $1500 to me after currency exchange, shipping, duty, bla bla bla.

So i need to get it right with springs for now.

I'm hoping to have camber shims and spacers available in the next month or so. And yes, you stack the spacer and camber shim together. I dont' think you'll have much issue with a +25 offset, depending on how big of spacer you run, but if you run camber too, i'd think you'd be fine.

oh yeah, your golden with the 25 offset.
you shouldn't even need to roll the fenders

go with a 1/2 hub spacer in the rear and even a -3 camber if you want. you shouldn't have any problems.
it may be different with different compainies but ive got my spacers on and the camber shimms stacked on top of them.

a little off topic, but just in general, when do you run into problems with spacers? is 25mm too much? and when do you begin to get camber? Thank You!

offset is always very importiant.

if you are running a 15x8+15 its very unlikly that you will get a 25mm spacer to fit with out problems, this is assuming you want to go lower than TRD springs.
a 20 offset is perfecta and an extra 10mm spacer in the rear will make the back and front look even.
anything larger than this may require some work to make it fit.
a little bit of camber helps if you are rubbin a little on hard bumps and rolling the fender helps to, and some times doing both is the way to go to avoid rubbing all together.

oh........ im hoping you know that camber is something you install, its not something you begin to get.

here is a few pics of my setup






thats with 16x8+15 with 195/50/16, in the rear ive got -3 camber, 1/2" hub spacer and roller fenders.
my suspention is Tein SS coilovers with custom springs in the rear
