Default Rear Wheel Spacers

Does anyone have rear wheel spacers? I hate the stance of my rear wheels as they are inset allot more than the front. I was told at my wheel shop that it would add camber to the wheels and wear them out really fast as well as having to roll my fenders to prevent rubbing. I feel as if they are being over-cautious as there is still allot of clearance and my suspensions, while lowered, is the f-sport one so it is quite firm. I want to get at least 18-20mm so they can be hub-centric bolt-on spacers. I want a stance that looks more like a rear wheel drive vehicle as I find it looks more aggressive, especially from the back.

o/

10mm Ichiba on rears only w/ Enkei Raijin (18x8+35). IIRC, stock rims go well with 20-25mm rear spacers. I didn't roll my fenders and have never had rubbing issues w/ the rear stance.

Thanks Ron
I am also running 18x8 rims... I'm not sure what the offset is though. I have a 40mm tire on it which might make a bit of a difference. The way I see it though is the worst case scenario I can just take the spacers off. I didn't like how pessimistic the mechanic was.

That fitment looks good. But i wonder if you will gain negative camber if you drop it a little more.
I want to get spacers for my stock wheels as well.

I just ordered 15 for rear and 10 for front. I did not want to go too aggressive. The ones above look good though. I did the extended stud route vs. adapter/bolt on. I hope it goes well.

And no adding spacers does not alter the camber setting.

Mr Lacster..

Guess who!!

Where are you guys getting these parts from?
Just got my CT200h and having a hell of a time finding parts.

Wanna throw some spacers on this car for sure.

Thinking about doing 30mm rears, 25mm fronts. But looks like they dont make spacers with extended nuts in 30mm. And im kinda afraid to go with Ichiba brand from all the stories I've read about them. Anyone try Project Kics Wheel Spacers + Hub Ring Kits? Looking into getting them instead of Ichiba.

I believe the version 2 Ichiba had some issues which was either corrected or the original version was better. Also, I'd be nervous putting 30mm spacers on since that's setting the tire pretty far from where it's supposed to go - I've only read lifted trucks putting ~30mm spacers on. You're putting a lot of trust that those aftermarket studs aren't going to snap from the increased tension.

H&R makes a nice set I think.

Let me know when you buy yours and from where.
Im going to do the same thing.

Since I've decided not to change my rims, ruins the whole point of why I purchased this car.

Thanks man.

Ron,
Did you eventually put spacers on? Which did you go with? If so where did you buy it?
Let us know, thanks!

I PMed LACSTER asking him where he bought it from. I was ready to get them from http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/ but they didnt have any 20mm or 25mm in stock.
So still waiting and looking where to get them in stock and for a full install as well.
I'll definitely relay you the info once I find out.

Yes, it's been about 1.5 years w/o issue. Ichiba (version 1), 10mm, 5X100, 54.1MM 12X1.5 rears only. You may need to get a wheel ring depending on the center bore difference.
