5 axis R5:F rims with spacers???

Hey there, I own a 5axis edition frs and I'm wondering whether or not the r5:f 19 inch rims can use spacers without needing to custom fit them. I'm curious because I'd like to add a 15/16mm spacers to the rear tires.

I would recommend you do a bit of reading on wheel sizes and offsets.
There is zero reason why you need wheel spacers ever.

I highly recommend people buy wheels with the right offset to achieve their preferred look.

Go spend some time in the wheel and tire section and read. Drop some knowledge into your brain.

Well my car is already lowered from factory as it was a limited edition model made for scion employees -- it has the lowering springs and entire five axis kit. I just wanted my rear tires to stick out a tiny bit socks they aren't staggered, to make it look better and add some grip on the back end (a bit least sideways ass out play)

Offsets doesn't get you better grip.
Tires get you better grip.
You can have skinny ass 6" wide wheels, but with some r-comps or simi slick tires they will out grip a 10" wide wheel on all season OEM tires.

You can get wider sticky tires.

First of all what offsets do those wheels have? Find that out first.

If your dead set on spacers start with wheel info. Then see how much studs length you have to play with. Chances are your studs are not long enough, so you'll need those bolt on hub wheel spacers.

Primarily, it would help the look of the car a ton - especially mine. I'm running 19" by 8.5 on low pro tires and I am leaning towards bolt ons for that reason

A quick search on the forum brings this up -

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14234

The offset is +45. Unless you are planning on running negative camber, or want to go all herra frush, you won't need any spacers. The wheels look fine without them in those pics. They were made with a modestly lowered (on Eibach springs) FR-S in mind after all. Hope that helps.

Those aren't my set. I'm running the R5:F's

Not looking into negative camber or angling my wheels. Just want the rear tires to come out slightly further than my front.

After some quick Google-ing, the RS:F wheels do have a +45 offset as well, so it's the same in that regard. And, again, after looking at some pics of the 5Axis FRS with the RS:F wheels, the wheel fitment already seems to be on point, so you don't really need to run spacers. But, if you really wanted to flush out the fitment even more, I guess you could go with a super tiny spacer, like a 5mm? You may need to roll your fenders, though, because the RS:F is a big wheel, and it looks like it doesn't have much room to play around with.

Hope that helps!

From my quick google-Fu I found there are two possible offsets, 45 and 35.
Not sure which one you got look at the stamps on the back of the wheel for the info.
