Was wondering if anyone is running wheel spacers on their rollas?

Im looking at maybe getting spacers only on the back to get the wheels more in line with the outer arch to fill the guards more............. and also will need to roll the rear guards.....

Anyone used spacers on their rolla, or know anything about using spacers on a car??????

Cheers

Yep. I've got 20mm kics hub centric spacers on the front and 25mm on the rear with stock wheels and rolled rear guards. Makes the car look SOOOOOOO much better. Will post pics wen i get a chance.

I'd say ur big improvement was due to a different type of tyre. I think the stock 195's look too bulgey on the rim as it is.

Why can't you just wheels of the appropriate size and offset...

Yes U definately should just get it right first time with aftermarket wheels but when you want to keep the unmodified stock wheel look, wheel spacers with stock wheels really set it off.

Keep in mind the front wheels are turned slightly towards the camera. When straight, they look flush.

That's with 20mm spacers front, 25mm rear and an extra 0.5 degrees negative camber on the front. King lows all round.

spacers are uber ghey super ****house , if you want to run them safely ( Touch Wood ) you would be stupid not to run longer nuts. As the_random_hero states why not just run the correct size and offset , if you want to fill the gaurds but a wheel that will do so... this picture of my AE82 will do the talking:

Having wheels way in from the guards is much more "uber ghey super ****house" than having spacers.

Longer studs LOL. Obviously i'm talking about bolt-on spacers, not slip-on spacers. They bolt on to the factory studs and have their own studs for the wheels to bolt on to.

If worried about insurance, they are perfectly legal IF:

- they are hub centric (they fit snugly over the factory hub centre and the wheel fits snugly over the spacer hub centre)

- they technically have to be glued on apparently. Dunno why. I guess so u can't tamper with them easily.

And u need to tell them about the spacers then it's def no problem.

I have a 16mm spacers only at the back, but at the front I have a -1,2° camber bolts.

In that way the stability response is very neutral but more reactive.

If you have a stock camber adjustment, I don't know if the spacers only at the back are the good choice.......

Unless other states are different, then spacers are NOT legal.

The fitting of spacers or adaptors between wheels and

hubs, additional to those provided by the vehicle

manufacturer, is not permitted. The tyre and rim must

not foul wheel arches or suspension components under

any conditions. Steering limit stops must not be adjusted

to reduce the turning circle in order to allow the fitting

of the alternative rims and tyres.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
