The spacers will make the rear wheels come closer to the body and give you that flush appearance. It isn't something the everyday person will notice. Maybe someone who is looking that is into Scions will notice, but it is a subtle positive enhancement.

Go to "onetongarage.com" for pictures.

hey TXboxdriver, do you like the 40 offset of your wheels? cuz I am trying to get a pair of rotas in size 16 but they keep telling me 40 offset wont work. how hard was it to put those spacers on? and can you send me a direct link to where you got them? thanks in advance.

That's a BOLD statement!

That totally depends on the width of the wheel!

And just to be sure people understand you should clarify POSITIVE offset.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

8.5s w/ anything more than +38 will not fit w/o spacers!

Offsets depend on wheel width also!

As long as the width is 7 or 7.5, those numbers will work.

What about a 17x8.5 +25 on the rear? I was under the impression that no spacer/shim would be needed?
