Get some hubcentric spacers perhaps

You may need to fit extended wheel studs if the spacers are more than a a very few mm in thickness though

Wheelnuts need to go 8 turns minimum onto the studs to be safe

I agree though, wider wheels or less offset would be better than messing with spacers

Sell the wheels you have

Re: wide spacers
You should be OK with 25mm spacers and longer wheel studs
- try Vauxhall ones
(I think).
This is the maximum allowed by the MSA for racing
/ rallying etc.![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)

Re: wide spacers
As the hubs at any Toyota have a really short centralization You´ll need longer studs for 5 to 15 mm spacers per side.
From 20 mm per side You can use the DRM spacers from H&R wich have own build in studs to bolt the wheels on:
