Would like stock rear wheel to sit flush with fender -> 2001 gs430
HI folks, I'm wondering if you have any recommendations for making these rear wheels flush with the fender? How big of a spacer would you recommend and do you have any links to a part that would do the job? Thanks

the stock wheel, assuming its 17" according to the picture should have an offset in the 50s. stock tire size is 235/45/17 right?
there is quite a lot of wheel gap from the tire and the fender, without rolled fenders, i think 25mm is as wide as you can go. studded spacers aka wheel adapters is what you would be looking for. the stock wheels will work with these. the only time these wont work is if the spacer isnt thick enough + the wheel is dual bolt pattern or there is no spaces inbetween the bolt holes on the back side of the wheel.

Does anyone have a part# for the 25mm H&R spacers that would work for this application?
Also for the front I may want to do a 10mm spacer. Will the stock studs be long enough?

if you end up deciding to lower your gs (please do) it's not... if you lower to a no wheel gap stance, a 40mm rear spacer will just about get you flush with the oem 17. I run 35mm fronts and 40mm rears when I'm on oem 17s with a slight tuck and at that point its just barely flush. you'd be surprised whats needed to have those stock wheels sitting proper. best bet is to call up my ninja at http://www.wheeladapter.com/wheel_spacers.php and have them custom cut.
