You could run 20mm all the way around. I originally did 15mm to be safe and was very happy with the rear, but the front I thought could look better. I didn't want one to look more flush than the other, so that's why I changed to the 20mm in the front. Everyone I have shown now says it looks pretty much perfect. I have heard rubbing can be an issue with bigger tires on the rear unless you roll the fenders, so that's another reason I kept 15mm. I plan an upgrading the tire sizes when I buy new tires next.

I would think the spacers would change the geometry of the suspension and therefore put more wear on wheels bearings and the like....but what do I know.

I have swift installed.

is it safe to still drive the ISF like a ISF? lol

I read on another threat one of the bolts ripped off. whats a good brand?

xianxian

safer to just buy a new set of shoes I guess....

That's why I use only the spacers that require you put new studs in. You pound out the old studs and then put new ones in and then use hubcentric spacers. I only use the H&R DRS ones like this.

is there a DIY on this? I would like to see it before I invest in this mod.

thanks for all the information btw!

I don't think we have a DIY on this site, but I found one on the Scion forum...gotta love google. Ha

Its basically the same principal.

I tried looking it up and I didn't see anything about tapping out the original studs. thanks for the help!

I think you are supposed to press the studs out and in...not bang on them with a hammer.

I banged my originals out with a hammer. I just put nuts on that I bought at an auto store to not damage the studs. They popped out with a couple small hits with the hammer. I did the same thing with pulling them in but used an impact and a wheel stud tool to bring them back in.

So nobody knows if 20mm spacers with 275/30 and 245/35 combo works without rubbing?

Im on stock suspension with 20mm spacers and upsized to 265/35 235/40 and rubbed immedietly.. Rolled my fenders and still rubbing so prolly dident roll em enough.. 😔

krue92

I have heard the 245/35 will work all day in the front even with 25mm spacers. The rear is the issue. I know that people have used 275/30 on a 15mm spacer with no rubbing, but I think a 20mm will rub. That's just from my research and why I did a 15mm in back.

My friend with 245/35 275/30 tires like me, but 20mm spacers rubs in the front when turning. He said you either have to modify the plastic inner guard liner with a heat gun, or remove it completely.

LexyISF

I think I'd rub in the back without guard rolling, and rub the front guard liners, with 20mm spacers and my wider 245/275 tires.

Go for the H&R Trak+ DRS spacers 15mm or 20mm with the extended studs. Much safer than the bolt on spacers. Part number is 30656014.

For install, I tapped my studs out with a 2lb soft face copper hammer, and drove the new ones in with an impact gun using washers and an old wheel nut. Very easy job. You don't have to smash the studs out, they come out pretty easy.

To do the job, you just have to remove the brake calipers (2 bolts) then take off the brake rotor (10mm bolt in the threaded holes on the rotor). To do the rears, you just have to put the car in neutral so you can move the hub around.
