Hello,

I picked up my F sport last night and it came with F Sport lowering springs which was pretty cool.

I wanted to space out the wheels for a flush to the fender look.

What brand and size do you all recommend? From the looks of it I'm guessing 18mm to 20mm all around.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

 

I do not have them on my CT but do have H&R Springs Track Plus spacers on my RX350. They are hub centric and made in Germany. I think they may be the best you can get. The web site helps you determine what size to get. I have 20mm on each side of my RX. Look at our sister forum because I think some folks there have spacers. http://www.ct200hforum.com/

If they do not make them for the CT, I know there are other brands such as Ichiba.

I found a post at the other forum

@Clutchless, Thank you very much. I think H&R is the way to go. I've read some threads about Ichiba V2's which is not really positive.

 

Does anyone in Orange County, Ca know of a place I can get these spacers installed?

 

Picked up a set of 20mm front 25mm rear spacers from B2autodesign.

 

I did not see that H&R offered them for the CT. However, I suspect the Matrix ones may fit. Our car is based on the Matrix/Corolla platform. I think the big difference may be in the rear if they have drum brakes as opposed to disk.

The ones I got were the DRM style which were a simple take off your wheel, bolt on the spacer with their lug nuts, using a torque wrench, then bolt your wheels onto the spacers, using a torque wrench. Then retorque the wheel nuts after 100 miles or so.

 

Please let us know if you find a place that will install them. I'm in OC too, but most of the places I've tried to talked to won't touch spacers due to liabilities. And pics!

 

I just did a quick google search so there might be cheaper options out there, but h&r Scion spacers should work. Same bolt pattern (5x100) and center bore (54):

Personally, i'd go h&r over ichiban.

 

Thanks Hypebeast! For some reason my order didn't go through yesterday with B2Autosport so I'm going to look into getting some of these through H&R instead.

I'm thinking 20mm front and 25mm rear. Does that sound about right?

 

You can find the H&R spacers for less from other sources than H&R directly. The price from 2kracing is about $10 less a pair than from H&R.

If you go 25 front and rear you can get the DRM model and install them yourself if you have a torque wrench. The wheel bolt torque is 70 pounds.

 

So 25mm DRM spacer all around will be okay?

 

I've looked into this between a couple forums. With stock tires, it would seem that you have 20mm in the front and 30mm in the back. However, I've read that spacers that are <25mm will require you to shave off the existing studs to clear the spacer. This is all subjective information. I'm actually going to be putting in new wheels/tires in the next few days (maybe today!) and will be able to give some objective info soon since I may need to put in 5-10mm spacers in the back.

 

Thanks jtnoboru for your input. I think I'm going to go with the safe route and do 20mm/25mm

 

i have spacers and extended studs on my CT. H&R track plus. i also have work 17x7 +38 cr ultimates. the front have 10mm spacers and the rear have 15mm spacers. i dont rub. i could go a lil wider and probs an extra 3-5 mm without rubbing but i'm currently leading the full functional life.
