Wheelspacers XP9 (2009)

Hey guys!

I have a question about wheelspacers for my yaris.
I want to give my yaris a more wider stance.
My yaris has been lowered with 25mm Eibach suspension and I just want to show it more by putting my wheels a bit to the outside.

Is it possible to fit 20mm/25mm on the rear axle and about 10mm/15mm on the front axle?

These are my wheel specs: 195/50/R16

What are the negative effects on wheelspacers (especially in the front, i heard)?

Thanks!

There are no negative effects.

In the rear, we recommend hub spacers, I have them on the shelf in 10mm and 13mm width

For the front, Ichiba and H&R are good brands and include the longer lug studs you'll need for anything over 5mm. 10mm, 15mm, 20mm and so on are available.

And these on the front:

It's dutch :D but I think the measures are international ;)

Only thing I have to figure out is about those bolts... if they are radius or conical (or something). But I'll ask my dealer.

You gave tire specs, not wheel specs. If you post your wheel size, width and offset, I can tell you what spacers are going to work on your car. Probably not 20mm or 25mm.

Hub spacers go behind the hub, so you don't have to change your lug studs or nuts at all. They also add zero strain to the bearings. Ours are designed specifically to fit the Toyota Yaris:

I see.

Is it possible to install the spacers myself? Or is professional installation recommended?
Can they also be mounted on the front?

Hub spacers are rear only. If you can get the hubs off, it's a very easy job. The Yaris hubs have threaded holes you can use with a long bolt to force them off when necessary. Convenient!

^ it would be up to the OP.. the 13mm look more aggressive (thats what im running) and the 10mm would just make it look more flush with the front wheels. im on 15 x 6.5 and i love the 13mm's, i installed them a couple weeks ago and i havent experienced any rubbing.

OP, the install is super easy. the hard part is getting that drum off because of all the brake dust and road grime, but its not like you need a mechanic to do it.

just a lift, some jack stands and wrenches... but i did what garm said by using a bolt in the threaded holes, it helped out a lot.




looks fun right :)
