installing Penguin Garage rear hub spacers! - Page 5 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Looking good! It looks like your passenger side is tucked in a few mm more than the driver side though.. my Yaris is the same..

RacerFreakXXX · 05-05-2010, 08:52 AM

I just installed these on my car and they look amazing! I'll take pics when the car is back on the lift. Just remember to be careful while doint the install, you don't want to screw the threads up like me

It's also best to have someone else there to help you out too.

I just put my new wheels and I have rubbing issues in the back, I tried to uninstall the spacer but it was impossible. )o: any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Photobucket images are blocked at work, so I can't see the pic.

Anyway, will some kind of "puller" work? (Someone else mentioned a steering wheel puller, but I believe that was used to remove the brake drum.) Along with some heat and PB Blaster? I'm sure that bit of rust is holding it on... Even if you can't work on it today, getting some PB Blaster sprayed in there now would give it a couple of days or more to work it's magic. Then you can try again on the weekend.

Might be a stupid question, but if someone installs the Rear Disc Brake Conversion Kit the spacers would be a moot point correct?

marcus · 05-17-2010, 12:24 PM

im curious if someone tried adding washer on the bottom..to make the tire tilt by a little angle..

The Penguin Garage Camber Shims did exactly that. :)

they wouldn't be moot but you would need another spacer for the caliper.

I know a guy out in Europe installed a set of the PG spacers on his Vitz RS which had rear disc brakes. :)

I'm curious what the 10mm Allen key is used for?

marcus · 06-05-2010, 02:28 PM

Forget it I found it

marcus · 06-13-2010, 03:55 PM

just to add on to this..for hatchback left rear is about 4mm pushed in vs the right.. i did an install on pg spacer left rear 13mm and right is 10mm and i got it pretty close to match..yaris frame is crooked by about 4mm rear left.

marcus · 06-21-2010, 02:41 PM

this thing wont work for 205/50/16 +40 offset. i did 13mm on left and 10mm on the right (due to left goes in more than the right..)got it flush on both side but still rubbing on the right shaved the fender worked well but with soneone on the back still getting rubadubdub on dips..i should have placed the shim .damn it! but now i dont want to do it if its not gonna fix the issue..1degree ?? would that move the upper tires in by what 2mm or less..

update... left rear for hatch is 5mm off vs right rear.. get 13mm n 8mm or 15mm n 10mm

I installed a camber kit, thanks to Garm and other yariswold members for your suggestions trying to avoid rubbing.

The installation is very easy if you have done the spacers, I added -1.5 degrees and Looks and Feels AWESOME!!! it does help with the rubbing issue but I still need to drive with more weight and find out.

My right side is out further than the left, actually.

I know what you feel, you are not alone...

It bothers me a little bit, but If I don't tell.. nobody notice the discrepancy.
