I'd get camber plates...the ones that go on top of the struts. The camber shim bolts are dying to snap. A special someone might start selling custom camber plates. We'll just have to wait and see! :D

Those camber plates have their purpose and there is nothing ricey about them, maybe if you running them with your 7.5x17" +45 offset wheels, other wise more props to who ever run them !!!
Van is in the process of making them but they are his last priority since there is not that much need for them here in US, you need some wide rims with very low offset, otherwise they look stupid !!! Sean

and this is coming from someone in minnesota, land of the true jdm style tuners....

anywho.... i talked to van and he HAD made some just like this (it is what he used on the white xb on the front page of www.onetongarage.com). he is in the process of redesigning them.

any other help as to whoelse may make these would be greatly appreciated.

The main purpose is to fit wider wheels in the back without any kinda rubbing, also they used them alot in drifting but with scion its all about look, and that would be getting the VIP look but you want a wheel with atleast 8.5" width otherwise it will look gooofy !!! by the way if by looking at them it reminds you of tire wear then you are in wrong section , gotta pay to play !!

well if that’s JDM I want no part in it...like I said before the only place I could see using something like this would be on a trailer queen show car otherwise be prepare for buying new tires a whole lot faster than you would with out them....as for the rice comment yes they are rice because there not practical (imo) and yes I regret ever owning a scion if this is the way that the owners are going to be looked upon

if you want to ghetto mod it, you could always just ram a curb really hard

If you go for the full look, power to you. Looks good on show cars.

the purpose of cambering wheels is cuz they're too wide to just
sit normal! what kinda rims are u trying to put on where it requires
you to camber?

as for VIP stance, its a badass look, but u wihtout the right rims, right
tires, and right ridehieght, it'll be cheap. not to mention u might wanna
run the cusco camber plates in front so u can camber the front as well.

I think I need a 3 degree camber shim kit anybody selling them? I e-mailed Van but no reply yet...

Just to make sure, is anyone running 18" x 8.5" 20mm offset with a 3 degree camber?

tell van me and you have a group buy of 2!! and he'll definitely do it. :D wheres that guy been recently anyways.

edit: and i already have the cusco camber plates in the front so im ready freddy.

Oh those are useful. If you need them apparently your to low or you have no idea how to buy wheels with the proper offset.
