OFFSET NEWB--Which offset to go with my spacers? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Thanasi · 01-31-2012, 12:12 PM

I have a 2012 Sienna SE with the stock 19" (7" wide, 35 offset) wheels wrapped with pirelli snows at the moment. To make these wheels flush with the fender I have 15mm front spacers and 20mm rear, and it came out perfect.
I now want to get some aftermarket 20" (7.5-8.5" wide) wheels or larger for the summer but am trying to figure out what wheel dimensions will work. (I don't care about tpms or keeping stock overall diameter)
1) Should I just keep the spacers on and find a wheel with more or less offset to account for the difference.
2) And which sizes rim width and offset will maintain its near perfect flush-ness on the outside. I like a wider tire too, but my main goal is flush with the fender.

Thanks in advance

Do you have any pictures with the spacers on the stock 19's? I'm wanting to go to 20x8's later but for now considering spacers to kick the tires out even with the fender.

Ohhh man are they perfect. My installer just did it without even asking, Best $300 spent. So perfect.
I'll get some pics up as soon as I can.

Cool cool, I'm trying to do all the simple mods first before jumping into the most costly. I'm looking for a good sensor system now for my front/rear bumpers.

I couldn't post the pics of both the flush spacers (and the parking sensors I installed too) here for some reason. But I did in SiennaChat today, look for my name Thanasi. Hope they help you.

Thank you, I really need to order some spacers now. Did the installer need to trim the stock lug nuts any?

No he didn't have to, I know that for sure. It was also apparently "very easy to do" ---(I assume was bolt on as well?)
(Btw-also keep my other post with pictures about the parking sensor placement handy. We tried to match the OE spots but was pretty difficult with the angular SE bumper but came out nice.)
