Rear Hub Spacer camber? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Do the rear hub spacers change camber at all?

Brentorius · 08-26-2009, 12:25 PM

No

Tamago · 08-26-2009, 12:29 PM

rear hub spacers from penguingarage.com come with camber shims, they add about -1deg of camber.

is it possible to add the shims that Garm sell aswell as the shims that are on the spacers?

ask the question please, you haven't asked or told why you want to combine shims?

TheRealEnth · 08-26-2009, 01:32 PM

if you want more camber you dont need to combine shims

SweetRS · 08-26-2009, 01:45 PM

how do i get the most negative camber in the rear? if i decide to stuff wider wheel/tire (15X8, 195/45/15) back there and have it fit...with rolling the fender ofcoarse

if you want more than an extra 1-2 degrees rear camber, you'll want to look into custom shims. Penguin Garage toyed with the idea as well as the Kiwi, but no one bit. no point in spending hundreds on R&D to sell one measly set of camber shims.

you could always stack the shims from penguingarage ;) put two under each lower bolt each side, get an extra 2deg camber. not recommended, but iv'e seen it done on the honda fit with no ill effects.

Hmmm, interesting! hey if hondas can do it so can we...im just curious though, would i need longer bolts for that kinda operation?and if there is a slight angle of the hub are the bolt still gonna fit properly? maybe i don treally understand how these work

The bolts supplied by PG are plenty long enough I think. There was more than enough length for my 10mm spacers and I imagine adding 2 shims won't be a problem for the bolt length.

SweetRS · 08-26-2009, 03:37 PM

oh i didnt notice that bolts came with it...sweet...

SweetRS · 08-26-2009, 03:44 PM
