View Full Version : rear wheel spacers... manejounxa 04-19-2005, 02:33 PM OTG spacers I think stylis he's a sponsor seller here sells them. you can also PM dave(dwestxb) and ask him where he got them since he just put spacers on. squirrel 04-19-2005, 03:48 PM If you only want to make the rear wheels "flush" w/ the fronts, you will want to get the One Ton Garage rear shims. They can be found at http://www.onetongarage.com. They are $65 and include USPS Priority shipping, IIRC. I got mine in 2 days since I'm in the same state. Van makes a quality product and if it wasn't for the fact I have camber all the way around, I'd still be running them. peabe 04-19-2005, 08:32 PM does anybody make them a little thicker? like 15 or 20mm? 04-19-2005, 11:41 PM I am sorry to say that there are no real spacers made for the scion that are 15 or 20mm thick. But the ontongarage spacer still works great. I have them in stock and ready to ship out. :D http://www.precisionmuffler.com/460c8c80.jpg More info on the spacers: http://www.precisionmuffler.com/id51.htm jarocho 04-20-2005, 02:33 AM Yes the One Ton spacers are nice and easy to install. I have them too. 04-20-2005, 05:02 PM Yes the One Ton spacers are nice and easy to install. I have them too. I freaking love mine! They make the fitment perfect on my wheels, can't wait for his vip spacers. :D squirrel 04-20-2005, 05:09 PM does anybody make them a little thicker? like 15 or 20mm? For a thickness like you would like, it would be easier to run H&R spacers. You'd prolly be placing too much stress on the four mounting bolts if you were to run a rear shim that wide. Just go camber and wider wheels! peabe 04-20-2005, 07:13 PM does anybody make them a little thicker? like 15 or 20mm? For a thickness like you would like, it would be easier to run H&R spacers.

Just go camber and wider wheels! cant afford that =/ how do you do the camber? az_pinoy 04-20-2005, 07:21 PM Auto RnD has a shipment of 25mm studded spacers made for Scion fitment coming in later this week :D ...stay tuned 8) JC squirrel 04-20-2005, 08:21 PM does anybody make them a little thicker? like 15 or 20mm?

Just go camber and wider wheels! cant afford that =/ how do you do the camber? With camber plates. They mount the same way as the OTG shims. Just not as thick, but have a predetermined angle for the camber once its installed. az_pinoy 04-20-2005, 09:12 PM some pics of the spacers (these are for the 5 lug config tho) http://www.autornd.com/Merchant2/graphics/Images/Actual%20Product%20Pictures/Wheels/Accessories/WideTreadSpacer.Jpg you can get the kit with or without the hub rings JC MyBoX 04-20-2005, 11:04 PM The only problem with those type of spacers is, they will fit wheels with opening in the mounting surface between the holes, and not all the wheels have that option, Sean sexyscionlover 04-21-2005, 12:46 AM im lost by what you said MyBox. :doh: What do you mean the size? Please clarify. I'm really liking the ones above that are studded. Thats really sweet. How much does something like that run? I really need to push mine out a little bit :lalala: MyBoX 04-21-2005, 05:21 AM On some wheels depending on the style and design of the wheels, there are holes between the actuale lug holes, so that way you can runner spacers like that since after you tight the first series of nuts whcih use for fitting the spacer and your factory lugs will not sit flush with the surface of the spacer, so they give you that room whith your wheels, let me see if I can fid a pic for you, Sean djct_watt 04-21-2005, 05:52 AM MyBoX is the man, he knows what he's talkin about sexyscionlover 04-21-2005, 12:30 PM Ah ic . thanks MyBox :bow: hotbox05 04-21-2005, 08:32 PM Most wheels i've seen have the holes and another thing is most of those spacers have the first set sit flush without coming up into the back of the rim NISMOZ33 04-22-2005, 08:14 AM if you have aftermarket wheels, find out the center bore of the wheel... even for those who are not running spacers, if the center bore is larger then stock you are best off running hub rings. last thing you want is a broken hub bolt... or an off cenetered wheel bouncing you along! Here is a generic H&R Spacer image that also shows how to measure for the correct size spacer... http://performancenissanparts.com/catalog/images/hr.jpg Here is a picture from their web site of their 25mm adapters... DRM type... http://www.hrsprings.com/site/products/trak/cover.jpg Just like all their others, they make 5mm, 15mm, 20mm DRS Spacers... This is where it gets tricky and alot of people are disapointed... 15mm & 20mm DRS Spacers from H&R are Hub-Centric to the Scion's wheel hub and extend the wheel hub out... Like seen in the photo above... the 5mm is too thin to extend the wheel hub... So it is simply just matched to the center hub. Basicly looks like a flat washer with 10 holes in it rather then having the extended hub... The H&R 5mm do not have that part sticking out in that picture above... picture the hub bolts removed from the above picture and that is what their 15mm and 20mm spacers look like.. I know I have 15, 20, and 25mm H&R spacers in my office, generally dont have any 5mm H&R's since they are not truely hub centric, and almost $70 for that... well.. your mostly paying for the longer hub bolts... djct_watt 04-22-2005, 09:16 AM Just curious. . . if you are running hub rings, how does your wheel come off center, if they are still sitting on the lug nuts? Just curious how it works NISMOZ33 04-22-2005, 05:19 PM if you have hub rings installed then the wheel does not get off centered as long as they are torqued down properly... If you do not have hub rings installed and you are running a spacer that is either not hub-centric or the center bore of the wheel is too large, the wheel is torqued down and possibly not centered on the wheel hub... and when driving, weither it is centered or not, if you hit a pot hole or a bump, the force can snap a hub bolt. djct_watt 04-22-2005, 10:28 PM ah. . . gotcha! peabe 04-26-2005, 07:18 AM if you have aftermarket wheels, find out the center bore of the wheel... even for those who are not running spacers, if the center bore is larger then stock you are best off running hub rings. last thing you want is a broken hub bolt... or an off cenetered wheel bouncing you along!
