I think you need spacers, badly. Especially, on the fronts. You want to rep Illest, get those wheels done right and flush! lol wink

Meh. I like the sticker. Illest is more about overall style, in my opinion. I've thought about spacers, but they'd wear out my hubs hellafast. Trust me though, i won't be putting any Wrong Fitment or Hellaflush stickers on. That's pretty specific about wheel fitment. haha.

I have, however, thought about rockin' a hellasunk sticker.

LOL, that's stylin' right there. lol

I think the whole spacers wearing out parts thing is debate-able. It's true that because of it, parts might wear out faster than they usually would without the spacer. But, just how much faster is entirely debate-able and how big the spacers are play a factor. I think some 10mm's would work well and not wear them out too much. But, it's your ride. You do as you see fit. wink

What are your plans for it? Oh, and where do you live? O:

I've looked into the spacers, meh. there are other things id rather do first i think.

In the end i wanna go FI with the OEM lipkit and rims. Im playing with blacking out the hood and hatch here soon though.

And im from norfolk, virginia.

The only good use for a scion is ripping it to shreds, laying a V8 in, and having Tanner Foust behind the wheel.
