Question 14 gs350f wheelspacers

Hi everyone,

Taking delivery tomorrow for my new 14 gs350 and want to get some wheel spacers on order. Car will never be lowered so I just want some spacers that will sit close to flush with stock everything else and be easily reversible in my garage.
What is everyone using?



Thanks

I have Ichiba v2, 15mm in front and 20mm in the rear. It appears to be an excellent fit.

I was reading there might be some issues with the stock lug nuts/bolts for spacers. Are the ones you are running using the stock parts just slide in between the hub and wheel? no modifications or additional parts needed?

Nothing else is needed. They have built-in studs that your lug nuts will go onto. I bought mine from 2kracing.com.

Just read an alarming amount of bad reviews on the ichiba having the studs break in half or completely. Is there another popular well tested brand?

H & R are very good quality. Been running them on my cars for years.

Thank you for the link I will be doing the research tonight and tomorrow and making a decision on the thickness. Perhaps the 15/20mm should be optimal for no rubbing issues and looks

How would you go about lowerig the car without changing the springs then? Or were you agreeing to leave it stock?
