Ideal Spacer Width For the Rear? - Toyota Yaris Forums

*tk-421* · 01-26-2009, 01:25 AM

My wheels are 15x6.5" ET +38
My tires are 205/50R15
I am sitting on NF210 springs

These are the spacers I want to get. They're available from 10mm-25mm through MicroImage.

Would 10mm be enough for the rear without rubbing, or should I go for 15mm? TIA

10mm on that low of an offset wheel

10mm

depending on your suspension you may rub with the +38mm offset.

a 7" +25mm rear is a pretty good look with some camber and coilovers though. :)

I think the 15mm would be too much though.

although you should look into hubspacers instead of "wheel" spacers.

Thanks for your help!

I have NF210 springs riding on stock shocks. So far I have absolutely no rubbing (not even with the car full) and I want to keep it that way.

The spacers that I linked to are hubcentric BTW.

hubcentric and hubspacer are two different things.

hubspacer mounts between the hub and the axle spacing the hub 10mm (therefore also the wheel).

a wheel spacer (hubcentric or not) will space out the wheel only.

how are you doing on space between the tire and the fender at full compression?

with our setup at +25mm it's very close to hitting the fender and it does on a rare occasion depending on the severity of the bump.

Really? Didn't know that...

I haven't really measured, but something close to an inch. I think I should be fine with 10mm... I'll make some real measurements and post up though.

the key is under compression.

fill up your trunk/backseat with fat friends/family and measure away. :)

OK.. I just tried measuring the aforementioned gap under compression. it looks like I have almost 3/4 of an inch (~1.5 cm) between the sidewall and the fender.

So yeah... I think 10mm is definitely as close as I want to get. 15 mm would end up rubbing for sure.

Thanks again for your help guys! On to find hubspacers...

I don't get it, whats the difference between a 25mm, and a 38mm with a 10mm spacer?

Thats only a 3mm difference.

I can't find those hubspacers for the life of me, I think Evolved Concepts might have went out of business because their website doesn't work for me anymore. I personally prefer the hub spacers over the H&R spacers, IMO the hub spacers seem a little easier to install since you don't have to deal with longer studs.

3mm is alot when we're talking wheels and tires.

a 48mm might fit but i doubt a 51mm would.

even a 45mm to a 48mm.

it isn't alot when you're in the appropriate range but once you're on the outside edge or inside edge of the range 3mm can mean the difference between rubbing and fitting perfect.

Yup... Same here. I tried eBay, but there's either Ichiba or H&R wheel spacers. Nothing comes up for the term "hubspacers".
