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.

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.

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



More info on the spacers:

Yes the One Ton spacers are nice and easy to install. I have them too.

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!

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.

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

im lost by what you said MyBox. 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

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

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

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...



Here is a picture from their web site of their 25mm adapters... DRM type...



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...

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
