Yeah, can someone give more details? I just assumed that it was similar to a wheel spacer but just mounted in a different location.

I thought it was only a kit that you buy?
Can u use all parts from the IFS hub or is there more u have to buy?

Any particular hubs needed? Can i use the IFS V6 4runner hubs?

So they are like wheel spacers, except they push the hub out, not just the wheel? For 30mm, wouldn't it be just as easy to buy some -50mm offset wheels?

The offset is in the lFS hubs. The spacer puts the disc back in the standard position.

Already got big offset rims but my rear diff is wider than front and i wanna even it out. And it will help the turning circle with the big rubber

They use an IFS lux hub which already has an offset mounting face (compared to the stock hub), then the spacer moves the brake disc inward to line up with the caliper. So in theory, it produces probably the same extra stresses on bearings etc but you're not relying so much on the strength of the spacer/extra studs etc as you would be in the case of a wheel spacer. Will still increase scrub radius.

Cool, thanks for the explanations guys. The plan was to get some -50mm wheels to give me a bit wider track (and to stop the 35" tyres from touching the springs).

Cheers,
