Re: wide spacers
Honestly I'd suggest wider wheels or wheels with lower offsets.

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 & get some different ones perhaps
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.
What wide arch kit have you got? Any pictures?

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:
