13mm Penguin Garage Rear Hub Spacers Installed! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Jackalope1 · 12-03-2011, 06:09 PM

So I bought these a couple weeks ago and was waiting for a friend to come help me install them. Well I grew impatient and decided to give it a go myself. I am by no means a mechanic but I found these fairly simple to install.

I used this link and everything went smooth (thanks Tamago for a very simple DIY)

Anyways the finished product is very aesthetically pleasing and I am glad I purchased these. This car should have came this way from the factory.

I also threw in some chrome turn signal bulbs cause I can't stand that amber...

Enjoy

Your Yaris is looking really sharp!

But ya gotta toss a tip on that weedy exhaust pipe! Even the twelve dollar ones from Walmart look pretty good!

Cheers! M2

Nice....... I like the one sitting in the GARAGE. I see what you mean when you said your other ride is a NECK BREAKER.... Thanks for the THREAD now i can see how my ride is gonna look.

Nice Ride man.....

Nice. What are the specs on your rims/tires?

Jackalope1 · 12-04-2011, 09:16 PM

I'm not to sure what the specs on the rims are other than their 16in BBS's and the tires are 205/45/16. I also have a 1.9in drop f/r

Oh what!? I thought they were 17's. lol

So, you're dropped on Tein S.Tech springs, eh? Me too. hahaha

Jackalope1 · 12-05-2011, 01:50 AM

Yeah lol

Oh and btw I think you have one of the cleanist sedans around. I was actually never really a fan of the four door but yours made me think differently

Thanks!

Keep up with the nice, clean, simple mods; that's the way to go imo.

jerome · 12-24-2011, 08:43 PM

It looks like you have a little negative camber in the rears? It looks good. Was that intentional or did that happen with the drop? Or the hub spacers? Or both?

Kaotic Lazagna · 12-26-2011, 03:26 AM

^ some negative camber results from lowering the car. Additional negative camber can be had with shims.

ljming99 · 12-26-2011, 08:28 PM

What is the offset for those rims? im guessing +42 perhaps?

MUSKOKA800 · 12-29-2011, 12:31 PM

Looks great Jack!
Any rubbing when loaded up?

Really, the rear doesn't get affected? Seems like I got slightly more negative camber and toe-in (visual and alignment sheet)

Don't tell me that both of those were caused by the repaving of I-80.

MAN that looks good. Even the otherwise huge rear wing works with those wheels and the drop. Loving the subtlety of the setup.

catliektheif · 03-28-2012, 03:30 PM

the diy link didnt work for me..

also do you have to get an alignment after installing them?

Talking about the spacer? I don't think you would need to get an alignment done since they don't really do anything other than push out the wheels/widen the track.
