Rear Hub Spacer camber?

[SweetRS]

Do the rear hub spacers change camber at all?

[Brentorius]

No

[Tamago]

rear hub spacers from penguingarage.com come with camber shims, they add about -1deg of camber.

is it possible to add the shims that Garm sell aswell as the shims that are on the spacers?

no, they won't work together.

i don't recommend using plastic shims anyway

ask the question please, you haven't asked or told why you want to combine shims?

[TheRealEnth]

if you want more camber you dont need to combine shims

how do i get the most negative camber in the rear? if i decide to stuff wider wheel/tire (15X8, 195/45/15) back there and have it fit...with rolling the fender ofcoarse

if you want more than an extra 1-2 degrees rear camber, you'll want to look into custom shims. Penguin Garage toyed with the idea as well as the Kiwi, but no one bit. no point in spending hundreds on R&D to sell one measly set of camber shims.

you could always stack the shims from penguingarage ;) put two under each lower bolt each side, get an extra 2deg camber. not recommended, but iv'e seen it done on the honda fit with no ill effects.

Hmmm, interesting! hey if hondas can do it so can we...im just curious though, would i need longer bolts for that kinda operation?and if there is a slight angle of the hub are the bolt still gonna fit properly? maybe i don treally understand how these work :confused:

The bolts supplied by PG are plenty long enough I think. There was more than enough length for my 10mm spacers and I imagine adding 2 shims won't be a problem for the bolt length.

[SweetRS]

oh i didnt notice that bolts came with it...sweet...

Have you checked with an alignment shop to see what they'd us to correct extreme positive camber situations (colision repair etc)?
When I had a 4 wheel alignment done the alignment rack did measure those spec's. the tech said the toe was slightly out at one of my rear wheels but not enough to be concerned. He said if I noticed odd tire wear to come in and they'd address it. With shims behind the brakes I assume.

[SweetRS]

yah i work at a Toyota owned collision repair shop, so, i had an alignment done when i put the springs on...toe was in ever so slightly...

so, what do the shims for the spacer look like??

Washers!

[SweetRS]
