Weird thing..my left wheel sits in more than the right

[ezhacker1]

I installed 12mm hub spacers, measured both to be 12mm, thing is after i was all done i noticed that the left wheel sits in more than the right. Guess it wasnt noticeable till the wheels (15 steelies) were spaced out. I made sure that both sides fully bolted closed no gaps or anything. The only thing i have left to test is switching the rear wheels around to see maybe its the wheels offset (iono). So i cant attribute it to the spacers because they are both the same size...

Same tire pressure on all corners?

PM Tamago, he'll be all over this one......

I have exactly the same problem. Subscribed.

Yup i checked that, ill take another look tomorrow. I installed them saturday. If i had to guess the difference in offset, id say probably ~10mm....

Whats your pre/post spacer offset? What do you think the difference in left and right for you?

[Kioshi]

If the problem isn't solved, i may be coming to SFSU to drop off my visitor enrollment paper, so i can come by your place and we can swap wheels to see with my 17s if you are having problems still....?

I have 205/50R15 +38 offset. I would say that the right wheel sticks out by about 3mm more than the left and it rubs like hell when there's passengers in the back.

Cool, id love to see some (actual wheels) on my car than steelies. Plus there would be someone else to see what i mean about the differences in offset.

Maybe 10mm was a bit much, i dont know how to really measure it, there arent really any right angles or anything. But definitely is visible difference.

Acceptable manufacturing tolerances. Pretty normal on our cars to have right to left differences. We covered this issue in a few threads way back when.

[tk-421]

I'm hoping to get my hands on a fender roller soon, or else I'll have to remove the spacer which I really don't want to do...

or perhaps I could get the right-side spacer shaved by a few mm?

Funny you should say that , i took mine into Toyota ,with the same
thing , and that was there comment .
But they did sort of fix it :redface:, by pulling the right rear guard out .
Take your rear wheels off run a tapemeasure from the gaurd lip
to the back of the wheel well . you will find your 3-5mm differance between sides .:thumbsup:

[silver_echo]

so here is an idea... for people that are getting ready to try purchasing the spacers, why not have person measure out before and then have the set include perhaps one 12 and one 9 spacer? just an idea, i don't know about the manufacturing requirements, but it is a thought... if this cannot work, just let me know and i will remove/edit this post...

all yarii are crooked

wow.. ill measure the difference with wheels off, then go from there. But just plain..wow

penguin garage (with the help of TK-421) discovered this when we sent out the first few sets of spacers.. if you'd ordered PG spacers instead of knock-offs they would have come with camber shims to prevent rubbing :biggrin:

my problem isnt rubbing im only on nf210s problem is one is just sits in more than other. Once i get home ill measure the difference to see if i need to purchase another spacer to add on.

[Tamago]

just live with it. the car's crooked to begin with lol

[ezhacker1]

i guess i didnt notice it being crooked before

So I guess I got knockoffs, since I'm sure I didn't get any shims... :iono:

[Tamago]

did you ever ask for any? remember, you actually had the second set of PG spacers in the country, well before the shims were made. you and i have had plenty of discussion on how to fix the problem, you even told me you would look into making the shims locally. why isn't this happening via AIM? :confused:

shoot me a PM.

EDIT: this goes for any of our customers who have bought the spacers and haven't gotten shims yet. Also anyone with other brand spacers can still order our Shims if they need a set. :)

No worries, Joel... Just yankin' your chain. :laugh:
No need for AIM, we talked about this already and we're good.

PMing you now. :thumbsup:

[yarisugi]

PETERPOOP should chime in to this one, too.

[tk-421]

Question: Will having shims on one side screw with my alignment? Should I add the shims to both sides to even it out?

[Penguin Garage]

you'll want camber even on both sides.

[tk-421]

That's what I thought. Thanks! :respekt:

[marcus]

well is our yarii really crooked on one side...just curious maybe i can order 10mm and 13mm on one side..anyone.

[BluYrs]

Seems to be a universal thing. Mine's got the same problem- glad to see I'm not the only one.

[spookz]

Mine is the same, it became more obvious with lower offset rims and spacers installed.. I now run a 10mm and a 5mm spacer.. There is still approximately a 2-3mm difference between sides.. So I probably needed to run a 13mm and a 5mm.. lol

[marcus]

i just checked it..it is..the right side sticks out more than the left..wow.got to get me 2 different spacer size..

[marcus]

im on to this garm is sending me 2 spacer 1x10mm and 1x13mm. hope i get it sometime next week..

[Tamago]

crooked yarii are crooked

[marcus]

confirmed..i did 13mm on left rear and 10mm on right got it to match closer but i believe left rear is 5mm off fr the right.. still rubbing on the right side after a little shaving on the fender work.
