Default One ton spacer effectiveness? <-Spelling?

Anyways, I continue to read how everyone is amazed by the final LOOK, but are these spacers also effective?

What do you mean by effective? They are for the look and for clearance on some wheel offsets. I doubt your going to feel a difference in handling due to the track width. It's just 10mm on each side.

Was there something else you were referring to?

The OTG spacers push each of the rear wheels out another 10mm, thus bringing them flush w/ the fenders. For those who don't want the "tucked" look.

are you asking if there is better handling because of the spacers?

No you guys nailed it. I thought I read that people could tell a difference aside from the look. So I started to scratch my head and wonder how could they tell (meaning corner feel).

I understood the look was better. Thanks.

Best place to get them = Cost, shipping & experience?

I wouldn't imagine that you would feel that much of a difference, as the rear wheels don't really do much of anything in this car.

when you first get the OTG spacers, there is a certain amount of cocaine debrit in the box. once opened, the cocaine flows out of the box into the buyers nose through a natural air stream. the user is then very anxious and in a euphoric state, so after the install he/she is still high. they drive their car and have enough of a high still left in their body to come back to scionlife and post that there was a huge difference in the handling of the car. its true, i saw it on google.

actually if you are speaking cause the wheels are in thats not tucked tucked is when ur car is dropped and the wheel is TUCKED up into the wheel well. ya i used to be into mini trucks since i was 16 so i understand the meaning of tucked not just in!
