Penguin Spacer fitment Q... - Toyota Yaris Forums

XYaris · 11-04-2009, 06:31 PM

Im running 205/40/17 on 17x7 rims (+40 offset) and Im lowered on TRD springs. Any fitment issues running 13mm Penguin spacers? What if I elect to use 205/45/17 in the future for more sidewall?

Thanks

i have pretty much the same setup on DF210s i scrape a little bit, you should be fine, but i think some scraping is going to happen regardless anyways on your suspension setup too?

width causes rubbing, not height.

you'll rub on the passenger side first. yarii are crooked from the factory

So I will rub? What about 10mm? is this a definite thing either way with 205's?

if you're nervous about rubbing go with the 10mm.

I have 205/55/15s with trd springs and 10mm hub spacers i rub very very rarely. Just barely nicks the outer edge of the tire.

Bringing back an old thread... So the rear is about 3mm toward the passenger side?
I have another question. (I haven't installed spacers yet) If I can't get the toe perfectly
straight with the car, is it better to have the rear a bit toe-in or toe-out?

btw, when did Penguin Garage pull out of being a vendor?
I wanted to read some of the threads from PG, but it's no longer available.

you need to talk to Yaris Bueller about his deletion of penguin garage's threads..

all PG parts are currently sold EXCLUSIVELY through www.microimageonline.com

and you want toe - in for safety, toe-out (or neutral toe actually) for improved turn-in.
