These One Ton Garage Shims are awesome, very easy to install, and make the rear wheels look a lot better....

Yes, those spacers are definitely something that shouldn't be hidden from view. I would still be running them if I wasn't able to get rear camber plates. Maybe the next will have a set also, should I not locate another set of camber plates.

The OTG shims are a mod that you don't really notice until you're next to someone that doesn't have them. When I put them on, I looked at it and thought, "hrm, did it change at all?" Then I looked at my car next to a stock xB and it really pops at you.

Here's mine:

I can't really feel the difference......but I'm sure it helps a little bit with the handling since the wheels are further apart...

Would of been cool to see some before and after pics. Looks good though, I imagine the take away some of the fender's "overbite". :) I'll have to try these on the xA.

$65
I've been considering doing this around the same time I do my trd suspension swap, but I'm still running stock wheels. Is it still worth it?

this is with the OTG shims also, it makes the box sexier with 'em on

Yes...I think it's still worth it. It is a subtle difference that does look a lot better. Van is awesome to work with!

The kit includes everything you need for both sides, including detailed instructions...... :bow

It was a lot easier to install than I thought it would be.....although if you live somewhere that they salt in the winter the hubs might be rusted on.... (mine was:doh: )

yeah those wheels are nice Dwest, i just took my TRD's off the rubber and sent them for powder coat, i'm looking at getting them done gold, just like the gram lights, with the lip polished, i'll post the pics when i get them back.

Hrm, that sounds hot. I don't see many cars with gold/bronze wheels that can really pull it off, but the ones that do are usually extremely sexy. :love:

Yup, OTG spaces combined with my +25 wheels = +15 (sorta) for nice flush!!

If you don't have them, GET THEM!!!

man i got my powdercoated trd wheels a week ago, and i must say i'm disappointed on the outcome. first off it took forever for the turn around, plus the color i wanted was way off. i put the wheels on for one day and took them off the next, it was that bad. now i'm in the process of stripping them to bare aluminum and probably sell them ..yeah it was tbad, not even worth a picture..

has anyone ran into issues with the shear strength of the new bolts (attaching the hub to the suspension arm)? Had a tech look at it, was concerned about the 8.8 grade bolts instead of something stronger...

thoughts?
