Hey guys, I saw these 25mm wheel spacers being sold locally and kinda got interested... they used to be on a supra w/ 60mm hub diameter so fitting should be fine.
Will there be any problems that i might run into if i plan on getting these for my rears?
I'm lowered with Teins and on 18" ET+42 rims...
- I know I'll definitely rub so rolling the fenders will be a must
-Will i get camber issues?

ps... Finally installed my lip kit but the weather isn't so pretty... Will take some pics when it gets nicer and post them up for all of you!!

The wheels are gonna stick out way beyond the fender. Your wheels will essentially be a +17; you'll probably have to pull the fenders if you want to use those for everyday.

You'd be better off with a 10-15mm spacer + rolled fenders. 25mm is way too much for your offset, but what's the width of your wheels?

Width & camber are a major concern here as well, aside from offset. +17 is a big no-no unless you've got rolled and/or pulled fenders, in addition to stretched tires.

My current setup is 18x8 ET+37 up front (soon to try and drop to +32, thanks Ryan), and ET+22 rear (+37 wheel offset and 15mm Ichiba spacers). I'm on 225/40/18 rubber, Tein S-Techs and Tokico HPs. The rear fenders were rolled right after the wheels went on because of rubbing at +37 all around. Rubbing was a more MAJOR issue with the addition of the 15mms out back, and even with rear SPC camber bolts set to -1.25 degress of camber, I needed 2 degrees of toe-in to not rub on spirited turns. I will eventually go to slightly stretched tires (when more $$$ comes in) and a new alignment once I install Gold-Line springs in the rear in an attempt to level out the raked drop the Teins provide.

In short, if you really want to run spacers, stay within your means unless you really want to roll/pull/camber/align and re-align again. Keep your offset at about +25 or higher and you won't have to go too crazy on camber and other headaches.

Thanks for all the input~!!!
I guess I'll be passing on these spacers... They were a good deal tho (I think) for $80CAD...
