Now, I have these spacers. 15mm and 25mm from Ichiba. I don't know if I want them on.
Still waiting to see if people have issues with them.

I have a pair of 15mm's for the front that I just got used from Scion202. I wanted to go 25mm in the rear as well, but was afraid of rubbing since the Sportlines drop it 1.7" in the rear...
I am hunting for a pair of 20mm's. It is proving to be difficult.
Do you even need spacers though? What's the spec on your wheels?

If you have a heat gun and a baseball bat you can do it old school and heat the fender and then roll the end of the bat along the fender.
Most shops do the same thing but with a heat gun and a tool that bolts on to the hub.

Not trying to tell you what to do but for your own protection please please before you attempt fender rolling the old school way with a bat do yourself a favor and YouTube fender rolling gone wrong so you know what your getting yourself into if you decide thats the route you want to take. If it was me I'd go to a shop to get it done right.

Yeah, I wouldn't roll fenders on a new car. If it's done wrong you'll get rust pretty quick.
The spacers are on, btw. I'll get some pics up as soon as the rain stops. The 15mm were perfect, but the 25mm are a little much maybe. No rub at full lock and none in the rear. Drove a couple miles on them after I bolted them on. I'll have to check the lugs again soon to make sure there aren't any issues.

Lol. Would be sweet, but I'm not a fan of used cars. I've only had poor experiences with them.
But, I like that our cars have a stigma about them. Most think a tC would not be able to keep up with Si's/Genesis'/Evo's/STi's/etc or even be in the same realm as those cars. I like that the comment, "Oh, it's just a Scion..." turns into, "OH, shiiii!!! Was that a Scion?!"
Heh, it's only happened a couple times, but its still a good feeling.

Wow, those rears aren't playing around!! That's fine now while your on TRD, but with your track record I am pretty sure you'll be on coilovers before long. May need to pull those rears back in a bit when that time comes.

looking good...I'm hoping to get my Works that flush without spacers. If I'm going to be Auto Xing i don't want spacers to be an excuse...now that you had a custom exhaust done...dont you have two exhausts laying around. What do you plan to do with them?
