Default Wheel Spacers with Fsport Springs?

Does anyone know what are some good wheel spacers for my 2010 Is awd? Right now my current set up is Fsport springs with the 18" ISP mode wheels. I think it should give it a little more of an agressive look.

what are the specs for the ISP's? +40 or +45??.. how wide are they??..assuming its a 45 offset and 8.0inch wide all around you probably wanna go with 15mm in the front and 20mm rear.

I had ichiba v2 spacers. 15 front and 20 rear. Worked very well with my h&r spring drop when i had ISP rims. No rubbing. Torqued them down to 80 pounds first day i got them. Checked the torque every couple months and it was never loose and was still torqued at 80 over the good 8 months i had them.

So I decided to order the ichiba v2 spacers. I went with 15mm in the front and 25mm in the rear. The reason for that was most guys usually run 20mm in the rear but there wheels are staggerd and rwd. Mines awd and the wheels are the same all around. This way it should give me a little bit of a staggerd look to it. I ordered them from the vendor on here and he also agreed with me that it should look fine. I'll post some pics once I put them on.

i have the F-sport springs and found that that ichiba V2 20mm rubbed the fender so i ended up using 15mm all around. Even with 15mm the rear still rubs if i do any hard turns

what size tires were you using? Hopefully I don't have an issue.

staggered wheels on an is350 have the same end offsets as awd wheels.

18x8.5 et50 = 18x8 et45

same thing. i think you should have gone with 15mm front and 20mm back if you didnt want to touch any fenderwork

So it sounds like 20mm spacers are the safest bet without rubbing...?
