The OTG's are 10mm per side. Safe and easy to install.

Unaware that they sell a 15mm kit??? I know they have a camber kit that angle in the top of the wheel for the VIP look.

Do they come with longer studs and how much? The link was just for tires and wheels.

i bought some 25mm ones from him for like $140 shipped off ebay and they were hubcentric for my old pickup......he can make anything...just ask him....and i am not sure about the extended studs...usually you would have to use bolt-on spacers if the spacers are too wide for the oem studs

yeah..they can but they cost alot cuz they might have to make 2 piece ones.

does yer wheel have a solid hub or does it have dimples behind the hub? and are they dual drilled or just have one bolt pattern?

I was wondering how to get a stock tC wheel to fit an xB. They would be sweet but not sure if it would be cost effective.

on the japanese auctions i have seen PCD(bolt pattern) 5x100/4x100 as skinny as 10mm which will not effect the offset too much. i can get them but IMO, i would just get aftermarket wheels....... check the classifieds. i am sure there are some pretty good deals out there.

oh yeah and redrilling would not work either cuz the TC wheels have exposed lug holes and the whole ordeal will be a nightmare.

^^^^Hey Jethro or however else can provide accurate information...I have the 17x7" inch Konig Unknown's with a 40 offset...I'm lowered 2" with the Gold-Lines...I do not rub at all but I want the rims to come out a little bit closer to the feder...What size spacers should I buy to bring the rear flush with the fender? I was thinking a 5mm spacer for the fronts essentially making them a 35 offset and a 20mm spacer for the rears making them a 20 offset...I was looking at the ones offered by ICHIBA as seen on this thread: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=122133 Thanks for any input...

Seriously, with a 2" drop 20mm each side in the rear may cause problems. I have 1.5 inch drop with 40 offset 17" wheels with 215/45/17's and rub slightly with just the OTG 10mil spacers. Anyone else?
