Never seen it. Got a link to share? Never mind, just saw the thread.

Would you mind measuring how long the round part is on the back of the hub? I don't feel like removing mine again. just wondering if it's longer than 11mm. I need to know if I need to do any milling. Thanks in advance.

Seeing that the Penguin spacers were 13 and 10mm thick, I won't bother milling the 11mm thick splash guard. I hope the bolts are strong enough.

TL;DR - Use an SE axle. ;)

That's always a bummer when it doesn't pan out. Good on you for making the investigation though!

Thanks. I just thought I'd share the idea. Like I said, I'll still continue with this project, just not right now, OR maybe an xB2 axle for 5 lug conversion? You'd definitely need a proportioning valve for the rear brakes if you don't have abs, the rear rotors for the xB2 are 279mm while the front are just 275mm!!!

SE rear rotors are 269mm. stock yaris front is 255mm. 275mm is the SE front. its far FARRR easier to do XD hubs for 5 lug. yeah i know xb2 is a different 5lug pattern.

btw, read https://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=53596, pretty much the same discussion...but 2015..lol

Yup, I've seen that thread before. And I don't want 5X100, I'd go with 5X114.3 if I'm gonna go 5 lugs. Otherwise I would have already done it, there's a xD sitting in the junkyard where I go, which I'm going to grab the calipers and midpipe from. There are also a couple of xB2s, I might go take some measurements of the rear axle frame.

I'm not giving up on this project just yet though. You guys thinks that the bolts are strong enough to hold the weight on the back, or should I mill down the plate so that the center of the hub would poke through into the axle center hole?

why would you need to mill? anyway the abs sensor is 15-16mm. the bolts would handle it but i would still get longer grade 8 bolts

I feel like someone was out to sabotage my plans. The Scion xD that I was eyeing in the junkyard was moved to a different lot. OK, my fault for not checking the inventory. But not only was it moved to a different lot, it was moved to the “premium” section, so I had to pay an extra $2 to get in that lot. No big deal. But then the car was vandalized, the car was whole when I saw it last. This time the passenger steering knuckle was removed for no reason, luckily I found it between other cars in a completely different row. The brake lines were cut, and the mid pipe was hacked for no reason. Sigh...Good thing I hid the Corolla’s rear calipers, because when I got to that car the rear brake likes and cables were also tampered with.
Whatever, I still got the front xD calipers, and took the pads for free. Looks like the car had just gotten the brake pads replaced before it got junked.

Thanks for measuring. My Yaris don’t have ABS. I think, I don’t know what to call it, the hub dowel? is shorter on non-ABS Yaris. If they are then I’d get the ones with ABS so it’d protrude out of the splash guard mounting bracket into the axle frame for the added weight support. Although, I just remembered that the Corolla’s hub dowel did not protrude out. I have the bolts that mounted the splash guard on the Corolla, they are longer than the Yaris’ bolts by at least 12mm I think. I forgot to take a pic to compare when I removed the hub. It has a washer on it, which I’ll remove.

Rear hard lines

The project is still on going… I just realized I need the hard lines for the rear:

The show must go on…

My apologies this project has been dragging.
I’ve bought most of the parts needed for this conversion. And I’ve just fitted a wheel hub and rotor. And they fit perfectly. Sorry I kept the rotor in its plastic packaging.
I’ll be going to my friend's house this weekend to do some machining to the caliper mounting plate. As you all can see in the first picture, the original mounting holes needs to be filled and re-drilled. I was hoping that the hub’s center bore pilot would protrude even just a little to support the weight, but unfortunately it doesn’t. So I’m debating if I should mil down the back of the plate’s mounting surface so that it would come out even just 2mm. I didn’t get a chance to measure it yet. I will see if I can this weekend.

Which GEN xB would you be referring to? The 1st GEN has drum brakes on the rear. I don't know of any trim which has rear disc brakes, but I could be wrong. The 2nd GEN xB does have rear disc brakes, but the calipers mounts directly to the axle frame. If you can get a hold of a 2nd GEN xB rear axle frame, and see if it would fit the Yaris let me know, I'd switch to that and do a 5 lug conversion!!! I'd have to figure out if the front xB steering knuckles would fit in the Yaris. AFAIK, the drive axles have the same spline count towards the wheel hub.

ok bonus stupid question since the gen2 is part of the axle, are the gen1 xb drums bigger than the yaris?..just kinda thinking it may not be disc but may be a significant and cheep upgrade

Both the Yaris and 1st GEN xB have 200mm nominal drum diameter. From RockAuto's parts diagram, the Yaris actually has an outer ring? for cooling I guess? The 1st GEN xB doesn't. I almost looked into getting a Honda Civic's rear drum, which has cooling fins (https://static.summitracing.com/glob...8736_RU_xl.jpg), the nominal drum size is also 200mm, but the outer diameter is too big, which I think won't fit in the drum back plate attached to the axle frame.

Some progress

My friend made me weld the holes, so they’re no so great. We couldn’t find the chuck for his mill, so I haven’t been able to grind flush the welds down. I made sure the surfaces and holes were clean prior to welding.

Plan B

The weld that filled the holes of the Corolla back plates are sooo tough. I bought a 8% cobalt drill bit set, and they still can’t penetrate through the welds. So I went with an alternative. Using the back plate from the Corolla, my friend made me a new back plate out of 1/4 inch steel plate. Here’s a preview of what will be, so stay tuned…
