rear spacers [pics]
I got the 10mm rear spacers on today. Here's a couple before/after pics. Subtle, but it really makes a difference from some angles, especially with the kit on there.

Ichiba sales pitch...
Wheel Spacers are made from Aluminum/Magnesium alloy. They are incredibly strong and very lightweight. These are hubcentric spacers that is specifically made to each vehicle; will fitted on your vehicle's original hub perfectly without any gap. Wheel spacers move the wheel out from the hub, effectively widening the stance of the vehicle and lowering its roll center. This simple modification increases lateral stability, which in turn provides improved handling & greater safety.

Hey cali yaris,
Looks very good! If I recall, you were running 16x7's, ET38 with 195/50/'s. So now, you're essentially running FR, ET38; and RR, ET28. Is that right? Did you use hubcentric spacers with longer bolts? Are you flush all 'round now? |

Probably flush up front (but very tight...good he went with the 195's). Like you, I'm curious where that rear rubber sits now... looks about flush in the photos. |

yes, he is but someone suggested he go with another 10 which would be 20 total, I already edited my comment because I didn't want to enter into a discussion over it, right he only used rear spacers, there is no need to touch the front I'm considering going with 15mm spacers now in the rears

Hi!
|
if you overkill with spacers, you might need extended lug nuts depending on your wheels, just fyi. but looks good with the 10mm!

brick, did they come with extended studs? No way I'd run 10mm with the stock ones.

6 threads on the stud is all you need to safely install your wheel

When your wheel flies off at 65 mph, you'll be wishing you didn't skimp and got the longer studs to begin with...if you live, anyway. Why skimp on something cheap and easy to install that provides extra safety?

i wonder if the hub spacers from an XB will work with the camber shims.
cali- is that what you used for a spacer or just a wheel spacer

Ichiba makes spacers for the yaris also both kits come with longer bolts, I asked him if he used the longer studs or if he was able to get by with the stock ones but I didn't get an answer
