Do I need Spacers? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Supra_Yaris · 03-27-2015, 02:54 PM

I will be running 15x7.5 rims with 30mm offset. Will spacers help handling? I will also be adding -1.5 degrees camber up from and -3 in the back. I want my rims and tires to poke out a little.

This should be interesting post pics cos u gone need camber to make it work right and why spacers just go with 20 offset... Sounds like ur looking for stance look not so much how it handles.

I run the same setup. Are you putting on Konig Candy's? Thats the ones I have on my sig.

I have 205/50 tires with -2.8 camber up front and stock in the back. barely rubs the fenders, but it does. Just enough to take the letters off the sidewall.

Can you post pics of your ride ...please.

15x7.5 30+ is pretty weak if you want to run flush.

I will be running 15x8 -13mm front and -0mm rear on 155/60R15.

The rear wheels sink in more than the fronts, so run more -mm offset spacers in rear.

Yes I am putting Konig Candys. How much are you lowered?

I was on 195/55 on that one. I will try and get some pictures today of my ride. I still haven't swapped out to my Daily Drivers yet so I can snap a couple pictures today

Which specific wheels will you be running?

That looks good. That is more the look I am going for. I currently have 195/60 that I will swap over until I need new tires. I was reading through your thread and I could not find anything about your suspension. How did you lower your car, and by how much?

ilikerice · 03-28-2015, 11:44 AM

Sorry, i couldnt tell you how much, but i am on Megan coil overs. If i were to guess, i think it was lowered 3 inches

I hope you meant 15x8 +13 in front.
I wouldn't recommend going with skinnier tires (155?!)
But if you prefer it then at least go 175 if you're aiming for a stretched appearance.

Yes, I meant +13.

Im running 175's now it's barley a stretch.

I run 245/35 on an 11" rear on my other car...that's a nice stretch. :)

yarisugi · 03-29-2015, 04:37 PM

Yeah, 175 isn't must of a stretch for 15x8 but you should also remember that you still want some tire to keep you planted to the road.
Skinny tires are fine but you'll have a fun time with your steering wheel on the freeway!

I didn't have 15x8+13 to compare but here is my old setup for a stretch reference.

Nice choice on SSRs! :)

WorkTL · 03-29-2015, 05:18 PM

Looks perfect. Thanks for posting those pics.

I'll be running 155/60R15 on mine.

Sorry wasn't able to get this uploaded yesterday.

As far as handling is concerned I wouldn't think having the tires farther out would do much. If anything I would say more unsprung weight = bad and worse handling. If it doesn't rub I wouldn't run spacers as far as performance is concerned
