Wheel spacers, before and after pics
Here are some pics of my car before and after I added the H&R 20mm wheel spacers. If you have the TRD springs and struts you shouldn't have any rubbing issues. I've had them on for about 2weeks with out any problems. The car has a much nicer look to it now. They took a while to install but it was well worth it.

I just gotta wonder how much affect it has on the hubs and axles.. 20mm seems like a lot to push out on each side.
Even people who have wheels with 35 offset instead of the 45 stock offset are adding 10mm each side... it looks flush enough to me.

I got the spacers from www.morepowerracing.com They seemed to the best price and free shipping. As far having an affect on the hubs/ axles I don't think it will be a problem. Adding 20mm spacers should have have the same leverage ration as running a different set of wheels with a 25mm offset. I run 1.5" spacers on the back of my truck and beat the crap out of it in the desert without any problems. I know a solid rear axle is way stronger than the axles we have on our car but then again I am not jumping my car.

Is it me or do you get some negative camber? I'd be cool with that and all, but I'm too cheap to spring for new tires that much sooner. Looks good, imo, but if I did it I'd have bigger spacers in the back than the front.
If I ever did anything to my tC it'd be spacers (probably a little more moderate than 20mm), shocks, springs (or just coilovers), and sway. It's a nice subtle yet great improvement to the stock look imo.
Edit: sorry stupid question, but according to morepowerracing how much does "1" mean? Is that a pair of spacers? One spacer, or four spacers.
Edit#2: Hrmm looks like daewonder says sold by the pair... but I'll leave my edit up for a confirmation and so people can clicky on the link if they're too lazy to go the morepowerracing homepage first (its a direct link to the tC page)
Edit#3: Also this may be useful for those who are going (zomg wtfx? wheel spacers?)

I haven't noticed any additional torque steer. The car really feels the same. It seems like I get a little less tire squeal when driving hard into a corner. Overall it's more of an esthetic thing than anything else. I considered putting 25mm spacers on the rear but without adding more negative camber it probably would have hit the inside fender. I also want the tires to last so running a lot of negative camber wouldn't help that.
Morepower sells the spacers as pairs so you'll need two sets. I thought it was expensive at first but it's way cheaper than a set of new wheels.
