rear beam question: one wheels sticks out more

[sasquatch]

This isn't her beam. But basically carefully cut the hub mount bracket off and move it in and reweld it should pull the wheel in more?

That's not a 2nd gen Yaris one, but the pic below is. The one tricky thing is that you want to cut out a section to move it in, but at the same time you need to maintain the distance from the pivot point or the wheel will no longer be centered forward to back.

ahhhhhh i see, i blame google for the wrong image haha. we will have to get under the car and take a look at what kind of room i'm looking at and what area would be best to remove material from. Then speak with a friend who does fabrication work and see about what could be done. not going to give up yet!

It is definitely a cool idea. I had a spare beam that would have been perfect for you to experiment with, but unfortunately someone else grabbed it to replace a bent one.
