Do a search on google, there's a nice old man who custom makes them hubcentric for alot cheaper then HR, he's cool to talk to, he's in Cali....sorry don't remember the name of his business, but there is only a couple on the google search........if you go 20mm, he can make them with the studs for you, but he dosen't have longer studs for sale if you need the 15mm, you'll have to get those somewhere else.

i think the 15mm or 20 mm spacer in the rear may be to much cause my friend as a 5mm spacer with 275 width tire in the rear and it seats really close to even with the fenders. i think if you really want a aggressive look a 10mm is enough in the rear . now the front are tucked in alot so a 15mm may be enough. oh and there on stock supra tt rims did not mention that in the first part of the post good luck

My supra TT wheels are +50 offset printed directly on each wheel. Why do you need spacer when stock SC offset is also +50?

im using the spacers to push out the wheels more flush to the fenders. if you havent noticed the fronts are really sucked in looking

my friend has an extra set of h&r spacers 15mm, so imma see if i can use them and see how it goes if the weather is good

Default spacer pics

heres some pics i took with the spacers on

i just put them on one side for comparison, the wheels without the center caps have the spacers on

http://img92.imageshack.us/img92/7403/dsc007892mj.jpg right rear

http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/1463/dsc007900ea.jpg left front

http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/6839/dsc007912ux.jpg right front

theres not a big difference, but it is noticably looking better with the spacers on

What sizes spacers did you use and where did you get them? I'm currently looking for a pair of 15mm DRS (with longer studs) by H&R.
