Where do i measure tofigure out how much of a wheel spacer to add so y rims can fit flush with my fenders? Is there a specific spot to measure?

scionxr.....dude after were done with tohse MODS...you might want to look into getting a full one off custom wheel ...because im not sure if your gonna be able to get a big enough spacer to accomodate what you need. and if you do get one it may not be the safest.
your gonna have to play with the backspacing also in order to run the smallest spacer possible

i found a site that custom makes adaptors that bolt on where the wheel goes, then you bolt the wheel to that. I just need to figure out how wide to get the plate made.

well I got spacer adaptors on mine the way the rim shop did it was by getting my stock tire and my rim and they measured it somehow and they brought it to me in about 4 to 5 hours.

Start with the one ton garage spacers and then if need be use some good quality h&r spacers in conjunction with some low offset wheels.

Word! :clap:

Gotta go with the One Ton Garage rear hub spacers first. I put them on this weekend and They made a big difference.

yeah i know of a place that custom makes them too.....i was gonna have some made for my prevous vehicle and they told me they dont recomend running anything thicker than 1.5" ..but maybe that has changed i would look into that as well.

low offset wheels.. seriously, such a better option!

i got 17 x 7 Rims and 205/40ZR17 tires on them so theyre really flat.
Frankenscion: Did you use the 5mm or 10mm from OneTon, and about how far out did your wheels get pushed?

lol if he got 10mm spacers, his wheels get pushed out 20mm total :) math owns you? ;) j/k

I used these. http://www.onetongarage.com/products/rear_spacer_shim/index.html
They are the 3/8 rear spacer shims. Completely different than a normal type shim. Much, much safer.

is there anyone out there who doesn't use spacers? i'm just curious cause when i got my 17x7.5 +30 she sits nice. and the back is a little in so when i jump in the tire gets tucked. i guess cause i see all these threads about spacers and shims.

17x7.5 and +30 offset = secks.. :) good choice on wheel.

just get those shims from van, i ordered mine yesterday. the suspense is killing me, i wish i'd ordered them months ago! :silly:

thanks for the compliment. cause i ain't too knowledgeable when it comes to cars. i just see what i like or the look and my consultants get stuff for me i'm just a walking advertisement. that's why i was wondering when people order rims they need to get spacers, or is it other rims come only in certain offsets?

is there any advantage other than cosmetic while running spacers

back end is much more stable.

isn't this the wrong forum to b talking about Xa's and Xb's

why? it's not a TC only forum.

we were here first lol, get out !

Tread & Butter => TB wait that's not TC. just playing. just had a long crappy day. had to have some fun.

For some reason they think everything is about them.

Hey, for 17x7 tC wheels, what kind of spacers and by whom should I get?

I have 16x7.5" rims with a +32 offset. I used the H&R 15mm wheel spacers in the rear and my wheel and tires sit FLUSH. I had to use the extended wheel studs that they supply. The fronts I used the H&R 5mm wheel spacers and they sit flush also. I didn't need to used the extended wheel studs on the front.

i dont think you'll need spacers
