Spacer size to fit is300 rims???

[.Camryman97.]

hey guys i just got some is300 wheels for my camry and i tried to test fit them at least in the front and i found out that the wheel rubs hard against the brake caliper

anyone know what sizer spacer ill probably need to pass the caliper???

thanks

depends if these are replicas or oem.. if they're touching the brakes, im guessing they're +50. Our cars can rock +40 easily, so try to grab a 10mm spacer. Good luck and post pics for us soon!

these are oem i believe they came off an is300 and they still have emblems on them

do you know where i can find a 5 or 10mm spacer??

if i were you, i'd do research on what the flushest offset with those wheels since yr going the spacer route. But in regards to yr question, Ichiba makes them the cheapest that are hubcentric w/ extended studs.

Useless post;
That was the first set of wheels I found for the 95, but they also hit the rear struts. Not cool.
I know people do it, but I would avoid spacers. Its just not worth the risk of loosing a wheel.

Believe me, I walked away from a screaming deal on some perfect rims with new tires. It sucked!

could the rubbing also be caused by my open ended lugs or does that not matter

[EEngineer]

hmm weird, i have the wheels and they fit fine...but very very close fit

however, i do have the supra TT big brake swap..maybe that's why they fit fine.

i'd recommend some hubcentric spacers. Toyota/Lexus hubs are the smallest JDM sizes...so yea make sure it's hubcentric...if u get regular spacers, u'll get vibrations

.. you shoulda done it! .. spacers are not dangerous at all if they're built hubcentric -so it does NOT SHAKE and STAYS CENTERED; and comes with longer wheel studs so that it'll compensate for the threads lost when the spacer is put on.

Majority of accidents are people running with spacers that are NON hubcentric with the original wheel studs. Like this one below, its cheap as hell but dangerous as well! .. stay tha fk away from these things. Running spacers is an expensive affair, but its what keeps yr car on the road- so don't cheap out.



This is the one i have on my car, its a 20mm spacer with 50mm extended wheel studs.
Pair of 20mm Wheel spacers w/50mm ext studs: $140
Install: $60

Its been working for me very well! .. over 2 years and not a single problem!

Did you cut off the tops of the old studs?

[ONE_to_HATE]

^ no.. the old ones were pounded out and the newer (extended) ones had to be pressed into the wheel hub itself in place of the old ones.

just change to the v6 calipers and disk safer that way.

Thank You! This is what people need to see! The JUNK here and the REAL thing with real studs that ALSO support the wheel!

I wasn't in a place to punch the studs and afford the extra expense of doing it with quality parts as you did.

Those look solid!
Good info to share!

Heck right now the TSW Volcan's i've got on there now have hub centers but no spacers. WAY TOO many people throw wheels on a rely on the studs and crap plates like that to hold the wheel. I should have went into more detail!

Like: Do it RIGHT or DON'T do it at all. Your machined hub and replacement studs are the right way!

If you're touching the caliper, it sounds like the diameter of the rim is too small to fit the brake components in...
If the offset is like +50 like someone was saying, the rim would actually be closer to the strut, not the caliper.
I'd have to see pictures

[.Camryman97.]

well i need spacers all around to fit... im going to be giving the rims back since i didnt make any payments and because i cant afford the nice spacers that i will need

was really looking forward to it but if anything i might get new wheels this summer once my summer job is up and running again

[ONE_to_HATE]

^^^ ouch.. that's hurting. - move up to cali! .. i have wheels im kickin' around in my backyard that you can borrow- mostly 17" so you can re-use yr tires on them!
